The examples picked by the author are evidence of this bias. Triathlon hobby, “right amount of hops”, and PhD are the author’s examples of supposed middle-grade cluelessness. Are those any different from a hunting hobby, “right caliber of gun”, and being a country club member? Presumably the latter would fall on the author’s sanctified leftmost ladder of Labor where people only talk straight and aspire for reasonable things. Yet the article makes no effort to justify why certain hobbies and pursuits are “loser real” and others are “clueless fake.”
