...So much for the ol’ “Plenty of room under the Skateboard Tent“ spirit of days gone by, I guess.
But permit me to switch from cultural metaphors to a culinary one, briefly, to aid in my point.
Used to be, it took “all types” to make a good skateboard soup.
As I recall, the recipe has always called for a few pinches of nerdy intellectualism.
My generation got it from Rodney & his ilk; this generation gets it from Mark and such.
Big whoop.
Granted, he comes across a self absorbed intellectual of privilege when quoted, but I can only ingest so much exxxtreme gnarlage before my appetite calls for “lighter fair.”
I don’t want a poorly seasoned soup or stew. You?
Personally, I intend to resist the trend towards branding the pursuit of knowledge as snobbish, elitist, or exclusive.
Having said that... Fuuuck!!! That Milton cut: nuts!!!
Hugs to all of you.
