        That article reminded me of that politician who said women’s bodies would prevent pregnancy from rape. Clearly he had so little contact with women he confused them with ducks.

    That is the wrong facial expression. That man would be laughing his ASS off. Like ribs hurting, can’t breath laughing.

      Good catch! I had to stare at it for a minute picturing myself spinning it into a cork and it does feel like it goes the wrong way. (Not righty righty).

    The Curse of Knowledge actually relates to educated people trying to communicate with people under the assumption that everyone knows as much as they do, forgetting that the average person might not be as educated

        I actually try to folks to the level of their knowledge. I had a debate with some coworkers about vaccines. I explained to them that it’s safe, thousands of studies proved they are, I also mentioned vaccines are produced just like any medicine. And yet people take paracetamol willy nilly without question but somehow treat vaccines differently; even though overusing paracetamol could lead to hearing loss as happened to my dad.

        However, I admit that what got me is the mRNA vaccine technology when a colleague said there has been no human trial of it before. The technology has actually been developed for over 40 years but with strong proof of concept. But I find it hard to explain that to laypeople.

        But the stupid uncoursed pleb doesn’t know that.

        I say curse him!
        It’s for their good, and for the good of human kind.

        But boy do some people have high curse resistance.
        Over 100%.
        Literally impossible to educate (which is the first part of the cursing process).
