The problem is that most people are. Look at the statistical breakdown of intelligence. Half of the world is 100 IQ and below. Half. Hell, 16% of all people are 85 IQ and below. That's over a billion people worldwide.
Any technology that you want to see enormous widespread adoption of, has to be usable by some of those people.
And believe me, no business-minded person wants to throw a billion potential customers to the wayside. They want to simplify the technology to capture those dollars.
Sorry if this offends sensibilities of anyone, but I guarantee you if you could get inside the heads of a lot of these billionaires and multi-millionaires, you'd hear the same shit I'm telling you right here. The reason I know this is because my Uncle is one of those people. Smart. Ruthless. And has absolutely no qualms about exploiting people of lower intelligence.
Don't think for a minute that the SV crowd is any different.
