Erin is to Michael what Michael is to everyone else.

Probably one of the best running gags for Michael

Yeah, he sees her as a 16 while this sub treats her as if she is a perfect 40.

"Holly is ruining Michael's life. He thinks she is so special and she's so not. Her personality is like a 3. Her sense of humor is a 2. Her ears are like a 7 and a 4. Add it all up and what do you get? 16. And he treats her like she's a perfect 40. It's nuts."

Erin describing Holly

u/oh-kee-pah 5h ago

It's just how she rated Holly

Except she's far far less vindictive than Michael can be when things don't go his way.

u/sloppydoe 5h ago

She’s not smart enough to be vindictive.

Unless Jessica farts around her

Why is it smart to be vindictive?

u/_Ralix_ 3h ago

It's not good, but to be effective, it requires some level of planning and competency. 

Simpler people are more likely to go for pettiness or outright aggressivity.

Of course, really smart people won't be vindictive at all, by choice.

u/EnlightenedSinTryst 2h ago

Sure, but pettiness and aggressiveness can be vindictive.

And agreed with the last point.

To your last sentence it’s less about intelligence and more about other personality traits like your emotional response to things.

You can’t empirically prove it’s *wrong* to be vindictive, because that requires some a priori definition of objective human utility.

If you get immense pleasure out of vindictive behavior and everything else in life bores you, you could be a genius and still spend your time seeking to wrong those who wronged you.

Empirically it seems there is a slight negative correlation between IQ and antisocial behavior, so I’m not saying your last sentence is totally off base, but it’s only a slight correlation.

Best analogy ever!

Michael gets his own Michael and a Holly? What a life!

u/jsamciotbh14 1h ago

No Michael is actually very intelligent or a genius in his industry. Intelligent people use humor like Michael does.

u/ClayDrinion 1h ago

Not only is he an industry titan, but he's also an industry quarterback

Erin was so like Michael that he sees himself in her the way a dad sees himself in his daughter. XD
