I had this thought yesterday: do people know more about things but feel pressured by society to act oblivious?
This thought sprouted from a bit of eavesdropping I partook in the other day. I heard one kid say this oft mentioned phrase "you know like that gangmen style or something like that" as if he either didn't show pride in know what he was talking about, knew what he was talking about but didn't want to show his pride, or just didn't know. I constantly see this happening and it honestly makes me wonder if being intelligent is becoming socially unacceptable. Maybe I'm just being a bit too analytically pensive but, it's still an interesting thought.
