“No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it. Collective thought is stupid because it’s collective. Nothing passes into the realm of the collective without leaving at the border – like a toll – most of the intelligence it contained.”

Every sentence in this book manages to be quote-worthy. And it’s so rare I see myself in a character but it feels like the narrator thought what I think, with the only difference being his ability to put his thoughts into the right words. Formidable is the lightest way to describe this 😅

@Nel - lmao what I love about this quote particularly is that it can be applied to many things 👀 democracy and who ppl vote for, but also just a lot of popular booktok books and what makes them so popular
i do wonder if books on booktok get traction cuz people genuinely like them or they pretend to like them and the algo does the rest.
@Nel - I can see that being a reason, I also think many of them are generic enough to be loved by a large audience
