Hear me out. Sometimes I hear quantum physics stuff and my brain understands what is being said but just like still cannot grasp how to reach some of the conclusions. Like it doesn’t fit my mindset or something, I don’t know. String theory is hard for me for example.
I’ve decided to start picturing some people as hearing stuff that doesn’t fit within their scope and just… noping out and hiding back in their box because anything more than a one step equation just can’t ever make sense in their brain.
I know this doesn’t help, but makes me less angry at them.
It’s hard not to be angry at stupidity once you recognize it as the source of most social problems. As a species, we are not as far from monkeys flinging poop as we like to believe.

Ok but we’re not exactly asking the electorate to understand quantum physics. Is asking people to look at what TACO did last time too much to ask for?
idk, makes me more angry at them

which works both ways: if bonobos can solve most of their argument with vigorous bumming, why can’t we?
