anti-intellectualism

One of the more surprising revelations I discovered in my very long now 8 year tenure as an online veteran of not only the superman wars but the star wars war, and to some extent the batman begins war, is that there are people very likely complete loonatics who wish the internet would become a bit more enlightened and classy, in a way conducive to more intelligent discussion similar to a court room or whatever.

It's like this in a lot of places I realize. People have a perception of what it means to be a mature adult, and expect others around them to conform or else. Or else stfu really. Like yeah there really are elite academies dedicated to studying the highest forms of art and science. So when one of these super smart people comes online and find aOMBAGGAAHHIODFD FUCK SHIT PORN FART DOO DOO as the highest level of intelligent debate, they get pissed needless to say.

I don't know. The true root of the problem is that the internet is occupied by dumbass kids for the most part, so of course they're not quoting shakespeare and shit.

In my first online encounter with one of these grown ass smart folk, I was a dumbass kid. I'd gotten good grades in my honors program at high school, so I figured I was capable of taking on someone who probably finished his masters degree program somewhere. Boy was I wrong, he ate me alive and destroyed me psychologically so much that I never really got back to my former good student self and never got a girlfriend, spent most of my time trying to twist my mind around how weak I was in the face of that douche. Then I woke up one day and realized that I was FUCKING 16. Of course I didn't know what I was saying.

But it's my fault really. I was reckless in thinking the internet was as safe as school, there's assholes all over the damn place no matter where you go.

Anyway so now I'm an adult by law, whatever the hell that means. I don't know anything more than I ever knew as a kid except that people are even MORE insane when they get older than they were as children. One good thing I figured out was that men still rule the world, not ever going to change. When your a gee golly kid you're raised by a bunch of old ugly females telling you how to be a man somehow, then when you turn out gay, they're like "wtf" about it.

I'm saddened that I'm not the only young male to be EXPECTED to suddenly become master of sex and most AWESOME MAN EVER over night after being raised to basically be a boy forever by a bunch of women.

Where was I... oh, the internet and its many problems. I don't take the internet seriously anymore, though I did once when I was much younger, and many more will do the same in the future as they find the internet to be a safe place away from the harsh realities of this world, but I'm firmly with those in the "fuck it" camp when it comes to trying to class up the internet. And in fact, I love pushing things to their extremes. What would happen if the internet was a sesspool full of stupidity, rampant nonsense, etc. Really? What? And on top of that, the joke is that no matter how smart we humans think we are, each generation looks back on the last and laughs at their stupidity.

So it's inevitable.
