Yeah these fuckin nerds are using logic and thought to understand the world.

Just so I understand this correctly, is this a post mocking 20-something year olds by showing topics they believe to be niche, complex, or exclusive to an intelligent audience? And that by understanding these topics they are “propped up” compared to their peers?

lol this is so painfully accurate, especially in internet culture where people feel inadequate in real life so they spend their time online wielding their swords of intellect.

I think it's funny that you're salty about people having philosophical discussions on the internet. It's not just for being advertised to and jerkin it.

I'm salty about pseudointellectualism, not real intellectualism. The current format of short post communication on the internet is just not conducive to intellectual discussion.

Do they have /c/iamverysmart here?

And there's coup de grace of the iamverysmart, some sort of dismissive insult calling the person immature/child/buddy.

I mean, a lot of these things are good things to consider/know about. For example, you do always have to consider that correlation is not necessarily causation. They're not really considering the most deep of philosophy, but thinking is generally better than not thinking.

I bet OP thinks that Ben Shapiro qualifies as "thinker"

Can we not do the "I bet so and so, thinks so and so?". It just seems kinda shallow.
