7/ My seventh grievance is against IDEALISTS of all kinds, who sell you a PREMIUM MEDIOCRE vision of the human condition in a BENEVOLENT UNIVERSE that totally sets you up for LIFE SHOCK and then you have to work hard to reset expectations to MEDIOCRE in an APATHETIC UNIVERSE

12/ ONE MORE. Aggressively self-satisfied and un-self-aware mediocrities who are 110% convinced everything that is wrong with their lives is the result of broken systems. They are the first of the Level 2 villains, and I'll pick up here in 2020.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1209218763989516288 …
