I think that's unfair. On this website specifically we're very tended towards college educated. If you follow the bright path you can end up being somewhat sheltered to the concerns and the motivations of much of the general population.

This leads to people being blindsided by things like Trump or Brexit. Its important to register that we tend towards a slanted world view.

I have imperfectly adopted a principle in discourse: that if I have to resort to patronizing explanations to understand, I'm not working hard enough to understand.
