Ikr?? Did you hear about that one tech bro Nazi who wormed his way into the government?!
- Or how about Vance’s mentor Peter Thiel? Did he forget about him?
  Sounds like they want to limit “bad” tech companies but reward the ring kissers.
  
  Upvoting you feels weird, but also KD Vances statement seems to have the opposite problem.
  You're just stating the obvious. It would be like if some guy were saying "Our enemy has been breathing oxygen their whole LIFE!"
  And everyone scurries around like "oh my god! That's less oxygen for the rest of us!"
  And then some other guy, thinking he's revealing an unforseen statement says the most blatently obvious thing they could say.
  "GUYS! I THINK HUMANS MIGHT NEED OXYGEN TO LIVE! THIS MIGHT BE IMPORTANT!"
  Meanwhile I'm watching this all happen, and watching peoples reactions to everything, and thinking "I'm surrounded by morons on all sides. Which is worrysome, because I don't feel like I should be above the average line. I'm just some guy. I don't know things....but I feel like a 4th grader, in a school with no teachers, surrounded by toddlers. We're in trouble if I'M the voice of reason in this world..."
  
  Carlin already explained this phenomenon before he died.
  Think about how dumb the average person is. Then consider the fact that half of all people are even dumber than that!
  
  You'd have to find the median, not the average, in order to have one-half dumber and one-half smarter.
  
  IQ scores, by definition, are forced into a Gaussian distribution, which is symmetric, so the mean is the same as the median.
  
  The median is an average. Mean, median, and mode are all considered forms of averages.
  
  surrounded by morons on all sides
  worrysome
  The call is coming from inside the house.
- And what about that Musk guy, too?
- You must mean Ketamine Karen :D
