Fuck James Dean

I saw this movie, where it had the typical "James Dean" archetype. He was handsome and brooding. He was mysterious. He was "against the world" but wasn't really sure what he was all about. It "seemed" like he was smart.

This is BS. I don't know why so many people fall for these types and I don't know why the media puts this archetype on a pedestal.

They are not "mysterious" and "smart." They don't hold some kind of "secret truth to the universe." They don't open their mouth because they have nothing to say and don't know anything.

These people barely contribute anything to society. They just run around life like a lost soul, confused.

People are drawn to them because they want to know what's their secret, what makes them tick. Or they feel bad that they have so much potential and they are so smart and do nothing with their life. We want to guide them and help them, the whole "mother theresa" complex.

I think they are idiots and should be left to rot. If they can't make due for themselves, then they are worthless.

We should be careful and stay away from these types. It's hard with their charm and their mystery, it's like a vacuum sucking you in. But it's a joke.

Anyone can pull it off. Just answer questions with vague answers. Don't talk. Don't give your opinion. Have "lost" puppy dog eyes all the time. Intermittently complain about something about society or about the world with some short phrase, but don't go too much in depth. Surround yourself with books and poems which you might not even understand yourself, etc.'
