Stupid little baby

 “I’m a stupid little baby” is not a pejorative!

being a stupid little baby is truly neutral

the absolute baseline

personality zero point zero

self-awareness is a currency!

it doesn’t buy you much

and the interest is terrible

but man, you can dress it up and sell it

you are always the main character!

so try to be magnanimous

not everyone is as special as you

such a special, magnanimous, self-aware, stupid little baby
