This is probably the advantage of being stupid. Stupid people just do. We tend to overthink. If we could eliminate the â€œoverâ€ and just think, then we could do, too. Only weâ€™d be smarter doers because weâ€™d be thinkers.

In fiction, I searched for my favorite authors, women I have trusted to reassure me than not all teenage guys are total ditwads, that the archetype of the noble cute hero who devotes himself to the girl he loves has not gone the way of the rotary phone.

In college, we believed, weâ€™d finally find our people.
