I feel so damn guilty all the time. I feel like I need to read

start a blog and spare us your self pity

i felt like this at one point but then realized all the reading did absolutely nothing for me. how much you read, what you know makes absolutely no difference in your life -- literally no one cares.

so, i stopped worrying and just read what/when i want. i still have a compulsion to read and learn a lot, but i don't feel anxiety over it.

The first step is to admit you're stupid then just do the best with the little brain you have

Stop caring

If you didn't go to an elite university you might as well kill yourself now. They'll always be better than you no matter how much you read.

This. SICP is baby-tier intro shit, if you think that's hard you shouldn't touch a computer ever again.

i used to feel this way but i know a number of people who went to elite universities who are pretty dull.

just read publications like the NYT, vox, salon, whatever prestige liberal source you want -- many graduates of elite universities are not very intelligent or insightful.

there are, for sure, better on average than the average students at mediocre schools. at least they kind of care about things.
