The HN crowd tends to filter out lower IQ people from their social circles so that it's easy to forget this simple fact about humanity.

One thing I've realized - I simply can't grok many of theirs' decisions, viewpoints, values. And just pure facts rarely pierce the thick veil or version of reality they create for themselves to feel comfortable in this crazy world. Or maybe thats the thing - I don't mind feeling uncomfortable in this world, seeing uncomfortable truths, picking up lesser of evils instead if simple black & white polarity, or the pinnacle - actually changing my opinion on things as I learn more about it.

Or in other words - can't talk to them about anything deeper, nor do I grok them beyond surface layer. But as you say its fine, and also its quite easy to create a life where you just don't meet them, apart from odd situations like car repairs or home reconstruction.

I’ve watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail countless times and I laugh at it every time.
