Nah, I really don't. I enjoy having discussions where I educate people.

It wasn't underhanded, not in the least bit. Defending the status quo monopoly that exploits its workers is really strange. Destroying entrenched rent-seeking monopolies is doing the world a great service. Uber has been a public company since 2019. The fact that it's a viable business is beyond question at this point.

Have you given any thought as to whether you might take the time and reevaluate your basic assumptions about this? Being a person who is always perceived as smarter than most everyone else can lead to some ways of viewing oneself and the world in a very skewed fashion. I personally found doing psilocybin to be helpful in breaking down the ego enough to gain some good perspective on myself.
