Marine and the Hippie 210612 S01E19- Are you a Ferrari or are you a Chevy?

The Marine and the Hippie

In this dialogue, we discuss the tendency of people to misperceive the comments made by other people. In so many instances, very often on social media, people tend to assume that the strange, out of the ordinary things they do, which attract attention of other people, are in fact very normal, and present it in a public place as if it is perfectly normal. When another person inevitably makes a comment on the strange thing they see, the person exhibiting a strange trait feels that they have been some how slighted or insulted. They themselves think they are doing something mundane, like driving an unremarkable vehicle, but in fact their are attracting attention the way a Ferrari would, and are surprised that others would notice their oddity. A lot of this misperception and miscommunication tends to feed cancel culture. We encourage people to take a step back, consider how their own personal strangeness, the things they do to very publicly stand out, will attract attention and will attract comment, and if that attention and comment offends, perhaps the problem lies with the person who attracted the attention, and not with the one who commented.
