It’s not an insult. It’s a survival mechanism. And if you’ve ever walked directly into a revolving door while checking your phone, or pressed the “close door” button on an elevator that doesn’t work—you know exactly what I’m talking about. Cities are humanity’s greatest invention. They concentrate talent, capital, and culture into dense, humming grids. The average Manhattanite holds a graduate degree, earns twice the national average, and can name three obscure mushroom varieties.

You go dum. Temporarily. And that’s fine. Here’s what I’ve come to believe: City Dum is a feature, not a bug. city dum
