  • Too many times people who have been monitoring or are deep in a field overestimate how much knowledge an average person or even newly interested person has in the same field (oh hey, there’s an xkcd about that!).

    People scoffing at anyone who thought Elon Musk was just a meme a nerd CEO before the cave thing, people who expect everyone to know who is running every browser, OS, or other company, and lots of other minor things they think should be common knowledge, when at the time it was something only someone invested in the overall field or someone who knew how search much better than the average person.


  • Well, last statement a lot of antitax are also antiwar. Ron Paul attracted some people because of his antiwar, anti intervention, and freedom regarding drugs platform.

    I think that basic form of libertarian is attractive to many if you don’t look too closely at what it actually entails and if you only care about yourself and maybe people you know/family.

    I generally think of it as childish selfishness we’re expected to grow out of once we learn some basic society facts.
