“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

too complicated imo. how about “ever notice how the people complaining about cancel culture are pedophiles?”

No better way for them to feel smart and also egalitarian and kind than to have a friendship with an idiot, especially if that idiot then gives you access to luxury travel, vacation homes, access to other smarties and power players, and possibly other…things….

Of smarts. Therefore these smarties can also befriend some idiots or have really no access to power and money. Especially once you’re in the realm of celebrity academia, those realities must be immense.

Secondly a certain kind of smartie likes being smart, and idiot friends are contrast gainers

This is maybe a less interesting of a point but I think many people I see responding to the emails still believe that a) the elite echelon of society is full of smart people and b) smart people only like talking to smart people

Idiots abound! Just having money/power/education is no guarantee
