Dear Steemians,
I don't really know why, but as I was wrapping up my latest knife video a taught kinda poopped in my mind and I've mentioned that I could do a rant post.
As I am currently waiting for the painkillers to kick in I have some extra time to try to think of a topic to rant about. Apparently, passing kidney stones is not an inspirational experience, because I really couldn't think of anything besides how awesome getting old and unfunctional is...
Pre post edit
I never actually finished this post for reasons.
I left the tab open for a few days thinking maybe I'll get back to it, and just when I was ready to give up this jewel pops up in my feed.

So this will not be a classical rant but kinda of a rantish tutorial on how not to be included in the wast and ever-expanding group of people that I don't want to have anything to do with - morons.
I have often been described as an antisocial person, which depending on how you look at the concept of antisocialism can be both true and false. You could almost say I am a Schrodinger's cat of socializing - until the person starts talking you can newer now if I'm going to be the nicest person in the world or a regular sociopath.
And even though the experience has taught me that 9 out of 10 times I meet someone that someone will be a pain in the ass, I often surprise myself with not following my main life moto
Everybody is stupid until proven othervise
I would probably define myself as anti-stupid rather than antisocial.
On the other hand, 9 out of 10 times if I can choose between spending time with someone and being by myself, I will choose my own company.
It's not that I don't enjoy conversing with others, it's just that when they are not stupid they are boring as hell.
The customary topics of weather, politics, sports and kids just make me want to gauge my eyes out and stick them into my ears.
The thing is, I don't really mind when people are unknowable. There are infinite things I know nothing about.
But
And, it's a big but.Not knowing something and being a complete moron are two completly different things.
Now, I know a thing or two about the human brain and mind so I am aware that not all of us (see I didn't use you) can be equally not-dumb. What I don't understand is why people insist on being morons.
Take the miss from the pic above and her completely moronic whining on Tweeter.
How patethic you have to be to scream to the world that you should be called a doctor?
I have a PhD in cognitive neuroscience and I do enjoy a bunch of privelages that title is bringing to the table. I wouldn't say that I'm not proud of that particular achievement, because I am (well me being a dick, I'm more smug about it than proud) but I have never ever in my life used my title outside of professional situation unless it was a joke.
The fact that your life is so empty that you get offended at someone who doesn't know shit about you doesn't emphasise your, to that situation, utterly irrelevant title is just sad.
While I'm at it, if and when you need to be a pathetic whiner about your title you could at least get your facts straight.
No, your name is not Dr O'Dwyer
There's no such thing as a Dr title
If you did spend 8 years at some university just so you won't be referred as miss you should kill yourself because what you actually did is stopped being a simple moron (lat. Moron Vulgaris) and become a moron with a title (lat. Moron Doctor), yes the moron part comes before the doctor part.
Now, I know what you are thinking; so this one miss is a moron, it's not like it's a ephidemic.
Stop, just stop, if you think this rant is about titles, you have issed the whole point. It's about people being morons, and the fact that their education level has nothing to do with it.
And no, it's not a unique-one-time-event.
Have a look at this colegue-moron jumping head first to the rescue.
See, it's not just her, there are equal percentage of morons in highly educated people as there are in the uneducated.
I work at the research institute where more than 75% of people are either doctors or are working their asses off to become one, and I can see at least half of them doing the same pathetic screaming in a simmilar situation.
I know I don't
And, this is the reason I am antysocial, not because I don't like hanging out with people, but because life is too precious to waste time on morons.
So, if you want' me to allocate my time to you, you first have to prove to me that you are not a complete moron. And maybe I'll think about it.
I must warn you though, there is a high chance that even then I will pick a book over you
