      I’m in this camp too and have made a recent comment (dev angle) but I genuinely believe most people are stupid lately

      I’d go further with it (about celebrity culture and influencers) but I think we’ve heard it all

      my genuine shock is just how much people seem to care so much that it affects their daily lives
