Sometimes I feel dumb when I'm trying to understand a Math proof or a new study and dont understand what they are saying...

Then I realize there are people out there who think Climate Change isnt human caused or a serious problem, grown ass adults who literally arent even as smart as a middle schooler.

Then I feel better about myself but then I stress over how many stupid people there are.

@freemo This climate discussion is a good example of something I like call "modern tribalism". Group A has certain goals and ideas and if you're part of it, you automatically have to affirm all of them. If you're a member of group B you automatically have to oppose every statement group A makes, no matter how true/false they may be. At best, this setting produces some hilarious results, and at worst the results are truly tragic and depressing.

I expect that most members of QOTO are reasonable enough think for themselves and resist these tribal urges that seem to play a role in the human psyche.
