I think there’s so much pressure to be thinking About everything at an extremely high level, to a point where no one can admit they don’t know enough about a topic to form their own opinion… this is not anti intellectualism, just i think the world would be a much more productive place if we could admit when maybe our opinions are baseless and could be more knowledgeable… also sometimes i just don’t care…

when someone disagrees with me it's like a huge reminder that anti-intellectualism is on the rise.

It really cheeses me off when people think they know what others are thinking or what makes them tick or what their motivations are for something.
Recently heard someone say, "Oh the whole reason 'Brad' did good at [this thing] is because he got social validation from his success."
And I said, "Oh really, did Brad tell you that?"
And of course the answer was no, Brad never said that. It was just a great big assumption about Brad's motives—and a negative assumption at that.
You contain multitudes. I contain multitudes. We contain multitudes.
We are right now the living, breathing, growing sum of a trillion different factors. It is far more interesting and fulfilling to be curious and ask and be surprised than to project our narrow, limited assumptions on others.
(apparently this is a bit of a theme for me today since I already posted about it in another form)
And if you find yourself mind reading and assuming and putting others in a box, then you know what, no worries! Me too sometimes. But let's not stay there.
