There are people who are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and they think people who don't fit into their box are weird. But I'll tell you what, generic people are the weird people. They are like genetically-manipulated plants growing inside a laboratory, like indistinguishable faces, like droids. Like ignorance. ↗

They live by an irrational morality. The rational man doesn't hate it when he is proven wrong; he is actually grateful, since his knowledge has been enriched. The people who follow an irrational morality can only maintain their irrational value system by ignoring reality. When you point this out to them they get very, very defensive, because your logic threatens to destroy their distorted system of ethics. Reason becomes their enemy, and they hate it with a passion." -Unknown ↗
