       I’m a born introvert so according to this I shouldn’t even
       bother.

       This from the article is nicely put:
       --- Quote ---
       > “Cool” is fiendish, like a riddle: it cannot be bought, though
       it’s enthusiastically sold, and it can’t be claimed without
       surrendering its benefits. The more you aspire to be cool, the
       more uncool you are likely to be.

       I'm cool simply because I don't give a fuck what that article
       says or what anyone else thinks.

       No one should bother.  If you are bothering to become cool, you
       can't be cool.

       Well I’m 74. I gave up the pursuit of cool decades ago.
