    Well, teenage me would have said the answer is “stupid”.

    Then I grew up and realized that I was full of myself and everyone isn’t stupid.

    Then the last 10 or so years happened and I now I sorta think teenage me was onto something there.

      It is a terrifying revelation for a child when they first realize that they’re kind of stupid, but that the people who run this world are even stupider.

        Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
