Society is very cute.
You can pretend it is made of smart people, don't look, just pretend. And ah, life is easy, business occurs naturally, and the world advances.
But if you avoid pretensions, and actually look at the people in front of you, holy shit. Most of them are imbeciles. Who would want such creatures to persist? Do business with them - for what? To make more of them?
Holy hell in a hooker. What do you tell the children? Usually we tell them to do the first thing. But we forget to tell them it is pretentious to presume the best of other people. Some parents are more daring, and teach kids to be selective about their peers. And then if they go over a little, and become too selective, you get literature such as this.
