No fun at parties

Of course there is the self-righteous minority convinced that while they may not be perfect, they are pretty close. It is best to avoid these people altogether. They are no fun at parties and, for the most part, are generally irritating the rest of the time.

“The circle you draw is but a poor shadow of the real, eternal idea of a circle.” This is kind of dense, and rumor has it that Plato was no fun at parties.
