Uncle PJNow that I’m a mature adult, I can think back to when I was growing up and learning that most adults were not smart. Now that I’ve been an adult for so many years, I can safely say that it is much worse than I could have ever imagined.
Mike Mol@unclepj not only are we (adults) not smart, we've been trained for years to believe, individually, that we're the only ones in room whose opinion matters.
It was pointed out to me how common and popular the "only same man" trope is in media. I can recognize now how it's a kind of vigorous stroking and caressing of the viewer/reader/listener's ego.
Now excuse me while I go back to enjoying listening to the original Broadway cast recording of Hamilton.
