I think of it more like there is this wall of people who have learned that if they just do nothing, then other people come along and fix it for them. Like if Learned Helplessness was a survival strategy. I find I've had to learn how to do things with out help because when I ask for help, all I get told is "no" or "that's not possible" and so forth. Things still need to get done. And I stop asking the human loop tapes that just always say "no" on repeat. Maybe it's low IQ or maybe it's brain damage? They are a resistant force to anything that is good in the world.Basically, you can't teach these fucking morons anything, and I take absolutely no pride in being superior to them, because I guarantee life would have been a lot simpler for me had I never taught myself as many tradeskills as I have, or learned to form my own opinions. That said, when society finally collapses under the weight of all the dumb they've created, I will thrive.
Barry the diesel mechanic from down the road might have some advice and learning in him, but he even if he does, he won't be able to articulate himself as well as the guy who makes a living as a public intellectual.
Nice projection there retard. I guess your knowledge begins and ends at Monty Python, as only 80 IQ spastics would infer as much from so little.Barry the diesel mechanic from down the road possesses a useful skill that you don't have, even with your LARPy Roman Empire username that makes you think you're intelligent.
Maybe you can articulate yourself into changing your own damn oil, Biggus Dickus.
Some of the best advice sociallu is to give people a chance to talk either about themselves or something they love. They're an expert on the former and passionate about both. Nodding along, asking a question every so often to show you listened, asking them again how things are going with their team or hobby the nedt time you see them - as long as you can at least half listen and admit you don't know as much but support them, they'll be satisfied.BTW
Wanted to bump this to say I figured out something (Social Interactions 101)
It's actually an advantage that normalfags love talking about ball so much, because you can admit that you don't really follow it, but they'll still jabber about it. There's the thing: they'll take on most of the burden of the conversation. People like talking, I like talking too much, and so all I have to do is just be their audience and contribute a little back and it's a good exercise in being a listener and makes them happy.
I first really got to thinking about this after I started a new hobby (square dancing) where I interact mainly with old normies (old men and old women alike).
This is especially true when trying to talk about history with them. What they learned in school is the gospel truth and the idea that it's not one historical incident that lead to another but a series of small incidents that created a domino effect seems to be beyond their comprehension.- Normies absolutely cannot handle nuance.
For normies, understanding history means knowing exact year, day and month historical events happened, what degenerate caused them and nothing much more beyond that. Like, they might not know Germans before WW2 were crushed by severe inflation and not just feeling generally frustrated and all nationalistic from lost WW1, but don't you dare to not remember the exact date the WW2 ended. For them, it's easier to memorize the dates, than to understand causal connections.This is especially true when trying to talk about history with them.

When I worked in IT support, we had a customer who would demand we be there in person to show everything. We signed a contract for a year to support his business (let's just say it wasn't renewed). We'd usually remote in and help a customer or create documentation on even the simplest tasks... He literally removed the ethernet cord on one occasion, so we couldn't see what he wanted as he refused to elaborate. He was an hour away; we ended up going to find out that he wanted to attach a graph to his email, but not in attachment form but as a simple image "to impress his parent company."When I assist customers with their phone/computer and provide a task, they say, "How do I do that?" Not even the fact that many people don't know their way around smartphones, but rather the tone of voice they use to ask for help.
