He had everything a young man could want, but felt nothing, he had gone to the finest schools ,but knew nothing. His family loved him but he didn't know why, he had a GPS on the dash of his Porsche but he was lost. How could he bring a child into this world? It would be so irresponsible of him and Responsibility is what he had successfully avoided his entire, short, Life, he was a Devolver, and his girl friend felt the same way.

Devolve together

Share definition Flag
Some people would like to see everyone else devolve alone, as long as it isn't them, but if they start to devolve too, they want everyone to devolve together, since together is the way they like to do everything (as they hate being alone and will say anything to keep lots of people around them at all times).
Martin Luther King would have been as entertained if everyone devolved together, bound for something like Squid Games and both psychological and physical standoffs that escalated into their final stupidity as he would have been by brotherhood/sisterhood. The leadership not brotherhood/sisterhood folks can't wait for us all to devolve together, it's just good fun in their minds, those adrenaline junkies that they are!

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
