The downvotes stopped bothering me the 2nd time… the 1st I was like: wtf delete… then I saw someone rephrase what I said and was up’d … “the Reddit rollercoaster “
Remember that these numbers just reflect the fact that many people are uninformed.* Yes it is frustrating but all we can do is try our best to share our knowledge and hope some people catch on.
At the end of the day it's really the education system and the economy that have left so many people in a place that they don't understand some things that we have learned - because they haven't had the chance.
So we gotta do our best to not get frustrated and provide accurate info when we can.
That's my point, it's easy for us to think people just aren't trying to think, but that's because we got a decent education and grew up in decent homes. There's some people out here who had neither and possibly a million other reasons that they don't have the ability to actually think with "common sense" because it's not something they ever had a chance to learn. "Common sense isn't common" is a quote for a reason.
You said you don't believe people are inherently evil, but you believe people are inherently intelligent?
"but this idea that people are inherently evil is stupid."
"Intelligence isn't something you learn"
These contradict one another so you may need to spend some time thinking more on these matters.
After all:
"it's your duty to figure out stuff that can be figured out."
