The "surrounded by idiots" theorem.


What if you’re only “surrounded by idiots” while in an interview, but otherwise well-regarded amongst family and friends, and most of their acquaintances you meet? Or other strangers, whether on the train/bus, at meetups or online?

On a more serious note, I’ll offer as a point of contrast The Sane Society[0], which puts forth that society can itself be sick–despite it’s being the status quo–detracting from the wellbeing of individuals.
