    Sometimes when you’re having a tough time with other people, it might not be them that’s causing the difficulty…

      “If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.”

            Experiment 1:

            Phase 1 – You meet 1 asshole. Result: you meet 1 asshole. As expected.
            Phase 2 – You meet 20 assholes in blocks of 1 asshole per hour. Result: Your status is unchanged. You meet assholes all day.

            Contradiction with initial conditions. Further experiments are not needed.

            The initial premise is incorrect. Quod erat demonstrandum.
