David Hopkins, who wrote a piece for Medium titled “How a TV Sitcom Triggered the Downfall of Western Civilization,” seems to think the ending of Friends - and specifically, the character arc of Ross Geller, Ph.D. - was the beginning of the end of some kind of precious blip in history where people were praised for being smart as opposed to mocked. Hopkins goes on to say there are few “Rosses” left in this world, and even the Ross on the show went insane - and not due to the pressures of life, but basically because of his dumb friends. You know, the ones who were stars on TV shows (Joey), built a fashion career from scratch (Rachel), were hugely successful chefs (Monica), etc. Those dumb friends.
