"Average" people are the norm, the reality that "not average" people will have to deal with for the rest of their lives.

if by “deal with” you mean serving them fries on their way to a ski trip, perhaps :)

I like to think you mean that the so-called “elites” end up studying some useless degree and only can get jobs as trust-fund burger stand employees, serving fries to the “dummies” who chose to work hard and become wealthy the old-fashioned way

  • It was a reference to 'Good Will Hunting'. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's first movie.

    • Both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon had movies before that. It was Damon's breakthrough for sure tho.

  • > who chose to work hard and become wealthy the old-fashioned way

    That's so last century. Now about as real as Santa. Now you can only get wealthy by inheritance or gambling. Even if it means gambling with you health you still need to win for it to amount to anything. There's absolutely no way to earn wealth now. I'm not sure if there ever was.
