>Schooling selects for midwits because midwits are the biggest order followers.
Damn, this hit home for me. I've noticed a lot of my friends in their late 20's-early 30s are going through this "nostalgia for HS" phase that is solely fueled by optics and social media. Its predominantly my female friends because they are slowly coming to terms with, but not ready to accept the wall. For them that makes sense. The male friends im noticing it in are all married, some with kids, but they are all of the keeping up with appearances ilk. They dont like hanging with me because I am the charlie kelly-tier friend of the group by their standards, but when I do get invited to shit they at some point in the day stand in a circle drinking/smoking weed and say shit like
>Dude remember when we were 16 and this shit would have us SO PARANOID?
>That time we did this in High School was CRAZY!
>I miss seeing you guys every day, growing up and having a job and family sucks.
Its as if they truly have drank the midwit kool aid and genuinely believe that high school is the best time of their lives, because social media says so and reinforces it with photos from that time. I went to college, traveled a bunch, left my home town for years at a time to do shit that interested me then came back home. Every time I return, my friend group has shrunk and all of them look at me funny for not having a wife and kids, hanging out with the same spouse-approved friends drinking in a circle talking about the same shit every weekend.
