To be philosophical is entirely different than pretending to be philosophical


Long title, huh? And this is probably going to be a short post.

For everyone who likes to read, just because. For everyone who likes to think, just because. For everyone who likes to learn new things constantly b/c their brain slowly dies of boredom if they don't. For each of us who has a compulsion to understand the world around them on any and all levels possible in the same way that some people have a compulsion to wash their hands 20 times a day...I want you to make a fist, raise your hand in the air and extend your middle finger. Right now.

For everyone who would rather watch Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of cereal in their lap instead of Nietzsche, for everyone who wants to play with hair or clothes all day long instead of learning Aramic, I want you to make a fist, raise your hand in the air and extend your middle finger. Right now.

Who are we giving the little birdie to? To every mother fu****ing douche bag who fakes what they're interested in to feel superior to other people. For every loser who takes a seed of intellectual curiosity and turns it into a thorny vine they prick people with. For every person who wants to tell you you're better or worse than others simply b/c of what you like, that is who the birdie is for.
