We tend to become more like that which surrounds us.
Thanks to podcasts & audio books & the internet, it has never been easier to immerse yourself in the right ideas & to surround yourself with influences from the right sort of people.
If you are stuck with people that you do not want to emulate, then you must drown them out with influence from those who are more like the sort of person you want to be.

first option is gtfo. second option is drown them out.
i can assure you, the payoffs of option 1 tend to outweigh the costs of option 2.
sometimes it's just a matter of closing the door, if that's the case, then you can go with 2 cos there's not a lot of drowning required.
We all live in a fiat world surrounded by fiat minded normies. It's in the news, entertainment, social media, the products & services we buy, it's literally everywhere. IMO lots of drowning out is required either away.
that's what i mean... the amount of your energy that is released for your use when you take the risk of detaching from the scenario where they constantly impinge on your consciousness, costs you time and health, and when you get that back you realise just how expensive it actually was, and what a bad deal it was to tolerate it.
my biggest irritations now are screaming children and occasionally singing canines and loud motorcycles echoing through the valley.
the noetic pollution is drastically reduced compared to the UK, and my productivity has gone up 10x.
