Most people are dumb, lazy, and unattractive. Everyone knows it. Everyone feels it. And you know it too.

You don’t want to hire stupid, lazy people. You don’t want to be friends with them. You don’t want to date unattractive, unhealthy people. Yet most people pretend that none of this exists and that everyone is equally beautiful and desirable.

And when you are weak, stupid, and unattractive, you pretend that none of this exists, because it is a defensive mechanism. You can’t judge others — you are in the same boat. So you pretend that everyone is beautiful, just so you don’t have to face your own weakness and laziness.

And the funniest thing is that when you start working on yourself and level up — become strong, intelligent, attractive, and wealthy — you begin to notice weakness in other people, and it starts irritating you. Your standards rise, and you start seeing the world differently, without defences.

Let’s be real: If you were actually wealthy, strong, and intelligent, you’d be enjoying your life. Instead, you’re obsessing over the deli butcher. It's a personality disorder substituting for actual achievement. Your ego is so fragile, it requires the ignorant and unattractive for a sense of purpose. You've turned your own anxiety into a philosophy.

Truly powerful people are magnanimous. They aren't concerned about the weak and incapable; they're building rockets and solving genetic disorders, literally reshaping the human experience. You could never reach that level, so you retort to punching down.

Until you recognize this as weakness in yourself, the desire to project your own insecurities will consume you. Your own ignorance on full display.
