I'm not calling anybody dumb. I'm saying they're being willfully ignorant and assuming this is all brand new tech that is mysterious, rather than learning about how it works.
A lot of people are hyped by the "Hype & PR" machine right now instead of being (appropriately IMHO) suspicious and using critical thinking.
Your comment certainly feels like you look/kick down on people instead of giving them a helping hand getting up.
With your attitude you are driving away people who want to do exactly what you want of them: educating theirselfs.
You are being contra productive to your own demands is what I'm saying
Not sure I should take a lot of interest in the thoughts of someone on the Internet trying to act socially or intellectually superior, but using the word "theirselfs", which is not a word.
I am definitely "Contra productive" though. I can beat it on a single life with no Konami codes 🫰
If your argumentation results to shaming people for not being native English speakers I think everything is said here.
