One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    I say we should provide UBI to everyone, legalize drugs, and let the stupid ones rot on their couch doing weed, playing video games, and streaming anime or porn. Hopefully they’ll be too lazy to vote or commit crimes, and the rest of us can work on creating a better society with them safely out of the way.

      That’s…actually acceptable to me as well. The only problem is we’ll still have highly ambitious sociopaths who want to grab the reins.
