The only real people are the people who never existed.
The most interesting guy I know is, to me, around 5.3% interesting. That’s really the worst case scenario because I have to put up with a lot of bad to get to a little good. For this reason, I have to strategize my dealings with him. I can’t come right out and ask him to stick to the good stuff, but I can try to nudge him toward it or tune him out when he’s producing less interesting material. I’d like to blow him off altogether because he’s worse than uninteresting in the nonsense department, but he’s so interesting when he talks sense that I stick around. (It’s weird to talk shit about him because he’s like a thousand times smarter than me.)

Oscar Wilde was a famous Irish writer, poet, and playwright, known for his sharp wit, flamboyant style, and biting social commentary. Born in 1854, he gained fame in the late 19th century for works like The Picture of Dorian Gray and plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband. Wilde was a prominent figure in the aesthetic movement, advocating “art for art’s sake.” His career came to a tragic end after he was imprisoned for “gross indecency” due to his homosexuality, which was illegal at the time. After his release, he lived in France under the name Sebastian Melmoth and died in 1900. Despite his troubled life, Wilde remains a celebrated literary figure.
