- I stopped playing colleges, and the reason is because they’re way too conservative.
In their political views?
Not in their political views — not like they’re voting Republican — but in their social views and their willingness not to offend anybody. Kids raised on a culture of “We’re not going to keep score in the game because we don’t want anybody to lose.” Or just ignoring race to a fault. You can’t say “the black kid over there.” No, it’s “the guy with the red shoes.” You can’t even be offensive on your way to being inoffensive.
So true. I've never heard it put so simply.I mean, we always say ignorance is bliss. Well, if so, what’s the opposite? Some form of misery.
I'm still trying to parse what this means to me, as someone who continually seeks knowledge. Does that mean I'm destined to be miserable my entire life? I mean, it's not wrong so far.
