hiiiiiii hey hello i'm gonna start killing and maiming if i see one more person equating intelligence and a philosophical mindset in life and needing depth and substance in things with "being so privilaged and having a troublefree life" like, you're so fucking stupid get well soon <3 but also being intelligent and seeking substance in your everyday affairs and leading an ordinary life/paying fucking bills are not mutually exclusive concepts. I'm sure it hurts a lot of people to actually have to own the fact that they're just intellectually lazy comfort seekers but i have met extremely intelligent and sharp people who have been carpenters, plumbers, taxi drivers, beggers on the streets, homeless people, teachers on pansions, people with various forms of physical and mental disabilities, old people, children in abusive households who have profound ideas. Like, it's gonna sting something vicious to have to admit to your own stupidity and superficiality, to admit that your choice to rot within the impossible boundaries of your current worldviews and beliefs is a conscious, deliberate one that has got nothing to do with how much money you have in your bank account, but like. poor people can be fucking intelligent and have substance and depth, and in fact they do. While paying bills and working mcdonalds jobs. Attributing personal substance and wits to wealth and devaluing someone's search for meaning by calling them "privilaged and spoiled with no worries in life" only highlights how deeply you've bought into classism and high society's "poor people have no virtues and that's why they suffer, it's what they deserve for being good-for-nothings" idealogy.
