Mentions of iamverysmart are invariably made by embodiments of mediocrity who display nowhere near the requisite level of introspection to foresee that this says a lot about them. Namely, recognizing the futility of any attempt to defend their loathsome dreck, they want to outsource the task to the philistine mob. Perhaps they do believe that they’re intelligent enough to recognize potential foibles of other people, but they’re deluding themselves. Unnecessary hostility that they perpetuate only serves to stigmatize and pillory those who dare to express themselves polysyllabically and/or originally. The perpetrators do so because they’re frail and deflated and malleable, shaped by the anti-intellectual zeitgeist of their culture and time period, which leads to them eventually ganging up and posting a link to their intervention subreddit. Yet upon closer inspection, the unassailable dissimilitude between the designation and the destination of that subreddit reveals an underlying implication: it is not pretentiousness that they hate, but rather non-conformity and non-humbleness.

Of course, the horde is now going to resort to the predictable rebuttal, and victoriously exclaim that it is equitable to do so because they deem these people to be novices at original thought, dramatically turning their enlightened gaze away from the neophyte’s feeble attempt. Indeed, the subreddit itself is full of worthless detritus. Yet I still maintain that their claim proves their vacuity nevertheless. Of all the vileness perpetrated by humanity, they want to present being a novice at original thought and expression as some kind of grave sin worthy of mockery!? In order to be a novice, you have to actually start something, don’t you? Whereas they are not even dilettantes — they are non-starter non-entities that wail in disgust whenever someone tries to express a thought that isn’t wrapped in dozens of layers of false humbleness. They want to call people out for their sophistry but they can’t because they’re non-entities, very stupid subhumans incapable of original thought.
