Have you ever read Infinite Jest?

Board 8

it's a harsh experience when you realize your friend or acquaintance is legitimately low intelligence, yet super confident. i mean, half of everybody is below average, but many aren't insufferable about it

what do you do in that scenario? you can't argue them out of it, it's just the way they are

do you just let all of their bad opinions slide? isn't that kind of patronizing? do you just cut them off entirely? i dunno
You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
