Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Whew.
Buddy, @chunes@lemmy.world is right - you have met people that fall below average. I would easily bet money on it. You either don't recognize it, or think you are immune from it for some high and lofty self-centered reason.
This seems like a pretty trite ego post that only demonstrates how unaware you proudly are of your surroundings and a lack of sonder and empathy for many people you meet. Dunning-Kruger effect in action, if this is even real.
Bubble or not, genuinely stupid people are still human enough to recognize some patterns and play along. They fit in well enough to reproduce. Frequently. All throughout history. Meaning that you are not as good as recognizing them as they are at hiding it.
Shout out to @Pudutr0n@lemmy.world for maybe also calling it.
This.
I also would like to point out being unable to learn things quickly isn't the same as being stubborn and incurious about the world. I'd much rather work with someone who is slow on the uptake or unobservant over someone who refuses to engage with new information.
Also, no one is so smart that you can't learn something from someone who is "dumber" than you.
This isn't a video game. There is no IQ stat on your character sheet.
