A Week in the Life of a McDonald’s Cashier

I’m not judging anyone. Judgement is a moral action. I’m recognizing the self evident truth that for many people they fundamentally lack the ability to plan and take care of themselves properly or thoughtfully with regard to the long run.

It’s not about thinking we’re better than them — which is an ambiguous moral statement. It’s recognizing we have a substantially greater ability than them and viewing that as a responsibility we owe to those in society less capable, and then to take care of them.

I guess people may have found your presentation abrasive, but it was just blunt. I wouldn't call most people stupid. In fact, most people are of average intelligence and by definition are not stupid. We can't be overreaching in our expectation of the mental prowess of evolved apes, everything is relative.

Yeah I was needlessly abrasive, which was my bad.
