Maybe it’s not.

It doesn’t say being poor makes you smarter, just that it strongly incentivises you to smarten up, or else your life will be much harder

Stating that the paragraph exists doesn’t really convince me… are there any specific sentences you can point at, and explain why they imply that rich = stupid and poor = smart? Seems to me they’re just saying that they have the privilege to choose to be stupid, not that being rich means they are stupid.

What you described is the division of labour, which has nothing to do with what OP is talking about. Of course woodcutters, generally speaking, don’t need to know quantum mechanics; of course engineers aren’t generally well versed in military history, etc. But “people generally only know their chosen subjects in detail” isn’t groundbreaking, nor is it what OP said.

No correlation was mentioned

That’s not a privilege, that’s a punishment, whether they recognise it or not

What do you mean by that?

Depends what you mean by “us”

So, this is where it all went wrong. For some reason, you thought that “ignorant and insensitive” were being directed at your reply to my comment, and not to the comment I was originally responding to. Perhaps you forgot that my original comment was a reply to someone else? Either that or you’ve been trolling the whole time.

Also, this marks the moment where you change the subject away from whether that comment was insensitive (probably because you forgot about that comment, or wanted to pretend you had), and towards discussing whether OP made any demands, which was never an issue on my mind. Damn fine trolling work, I must say, keeping me distracted for so long.

Thanks I guess?

“Wanting to be offended” is a myth perpetuated by people who want to be offensive. Nobody “wants” to be offended. Offence is a genuine emotional reaction, is automatic, and is unpleasant. Cut that bullshit out.

Imagine messing up halfway through a terrible rape scene

Don’t bother, seems people just aren’t ready to be told they’re being insensitive

I live in a very small town, all 2/3 storey buildings and fields everywhere

Still got buses that run every 10 minutes

Not really talking about preference or individuality here

Listen to yourself.

The text of the original post demonstrably does not contain the phrase you attribute to it. And i have provided evidence of the comment to which I was referring, which is not your own. There is no further proof necessary; and you yourself have even quoted that same post, which even in your attempt, still did not contain the phrase you claim. Only your own comment did.

You have not provided any evidence which supports your claims. Your quotes only prove my point: the OP did not request for this to stop, just stated that they “hate” it.

Further, I even provided reasoning by way of example: my hatred of soap operas and Tesla not motivating a wish for their destruction.

What more do you want? Like I’ve already said, if i misunderstood, then correct me. You have failed to do so.

This really doesn’t need to go as far as it has. You never even needed to reply to me, because you were off topic and not saying anything relevant to my point, which is that their comment was off base.

I’m not sure how the context of the word “astronaut” justifies implying interstellar travel that you aren’t capable of.

Reducing the population won’t lead to fewer deaths. The very act of doing so would itself be death on an untold scale.
