Love this. I spend a lot of time thinking about how losers took over everything and how sometimes the most confusing part is the sheer lack of logic involved- is the answer that some people are just desperately annoying?? IDK, but love the connections here to draw out how people will enter into situations that are bad for them bc of a lack of self respect or a lack of interiority... Much to think about.
Always love the art you gather to accompany your ideas-- it's a fascinating way to expand/offer counterpoints to your writing. Thank you! The "are losers born or made" question also makes me think of Aiden (?) the serial Tinder-swiper whose millions of swipes has landed him a single date. Some are pointing to women's "pickiness"; but it feels like a very clear answer is the Aiden, maybe, just isn't good at understanding what women are looking for.
