I'LL GET MY THINGS

As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.

“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.” - Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

I am also realizing that actual intellectuals make their subjects easy to understand, and faux intelectuals will attempt to baffle.

Uhhh I think it’s great that people new to reddie are dissecting the dynamic and the takes are great, but also pls remember that Eddie Kaspbrak is loyal and kind and brave and literally dies for his friends

listen stan was the first loser to realize eddie and richie were in love because he watches birds - he understands mating rituals.
