Its something I notice a lot in stoners and low achievers. Do you think it is due to natural occuring anxiety issues that hold them back from being able to deal?
IE:
Tried to talk about something last night with the ex (stoner) now roomate...
I said.."I am bored I want to read about something different."
He asked "what chocolate chip cookies" and smiled
To which I replied..."well no, but close..."
(thinking about what I was to say was the complete opposite of chocolate chip cookies and it made me laugh and raise my brow)
I continued: "I was thinking of really looking at nazi occultism...." And then went into pineal glands, dmt, wormholes, history of the pincone through various religions in time etc..."
I just thought about the one time that I held a real nazi pin and had to put it down because it felt so creepy. I always love to creep myself out since I was little...lol...But the meshing of theology, tyranny, and science just makes the whole nazi occult thing very interesting to me.
TO which he replied" Why do have to be so intense about things"
I thought :why do you have to be so dumb, boring and stoned. But just rolled my eyes and went back to reading.
It just seems that people like to be intense at times but always fall back into whatever you want to call it. I find that so boring. I like to be stimulated and challenged by the people around me. What is a good way to always find these people? It seems so freaking hard to find. I have only come across a few. My favorite was this old russian jewish lady I took care of. She LOVED to talk about stuff intense like this. But it would be nice to find it in the young as at 88 she was not going out for drinks with me..lol
i know what you mean, i work with some people one may consider boring -- although my ex was a stoner and he loved to get into all that so i don't know if its a stoner thing or just 'mental unstimulation'?
my husband (who is russian) also likes to talk about this kind of stuff -- it has been my experience (not saying everyone is like this) that usually people who are into art/photography are into intense discussions...as for age...both of the guys i speak of are under the age of 30
In its own way, non-stop intensity is just as tedious. Imagine coming home from a hard day at the office or a tough four-day swing through your territory. All you want to do is sit down and read the newspaper, but instead your being peppered non-stop with questions, abstruse theories, or the whatnot.
Or, in other words, there are times when people simply not in the mood for Nietzsche, Heidegger or Schopenhauer.

I like a healthy balance of mellow and .... stimulus maximus. I don't want intense all the time. I'm a laid back person for the most part but I don't do drugs and if that's boring--that I'm laid back, not that I don't do drugs LOL--I'm happy with that.
I think underachievers are scared of failing and therefore resign themselves to mediocrity since then they don't have to take chances and risks.
