The Cranky Cynic Embraces His Inner Weirdo
Years ago, a supervisor called me a cranky cynic, because when he showed me something that was the latest fix that would solve all our problems, I would look at him, and say, "Yeah whatever." The person who called me Cranky Cynic thought he was funny, but I am the one laughing at him.
A real cynic wants the truth, even if it’s inconvenient, unflattering, or ruins someone’s favorite myth. A cynic doubts because they’ve seen too much. The pretentious know‑it‑all dismissed my doubts because nothing scares them more than being wrong.
I've embraced the philosophies of the great cynics because they question the status quo, they call out the closed-minded people unwilling to consider alternative viewpoints. A dismissive person is unwilling to consider alternative viewpoints, because they’ve already built the conclusion before hearing the premise.
I'm so analytical at times, I forget to laugh. The people who have become my "fans" over the years understand my dry cynical sense of humor.
In the past year I've been rebranding my online identity from Geek History to The Cranky Cynic because all the myths and misinformation on the internet being told as history, makes me angry!
I'm new here, just took a stroll around the community, looks cool to me!
