In this bit12 moments
  • Tim's low expectations from childhood meant he expected almost nothing from the world.
  • The paint-by-numbers path—good school, internship, good job at a firm—is what people who followed the rules actually took.
  • These rule-followers are increasingly unable to afford New York City despite doing everything right.
  • Tim doesn't hate these people, but finds them boring—normies with nothing interesting to say.
  • Their lives are vapid, dull, and pointless, infecting him with how boring they are.
  • This boring, mediocre coalition—people who did the right things and got little—is Zoron's base.
  • Republicans have lost their minds arguing about internet speech while flights are grounded and money flows to Venezuela, Israel, and Ukraine.
  • All these protesters want is to have brunch—that's literally their only desire.
  • Society buys off these perpetual teenagers with money so they never question anything and just watch Netflix.
  • New York City used to be where people came to fail and die trying to be great, not to live meaningless lives.
  • New York is the greatest city in the world measured by cultural and financial impact, with only London as a competitor.
  • In raw impact financially and culturally, it's New York—no other American city comes close.
