Overheard conversation at a tech company cafeteria:
Man: Almost everything has gotten cheaper except for health care, education, and housing.
Woman: Wow.
Man: And you know why those three things have gotten more expensive?
Woman: Why??
Man: ...REGULATION.

I think that you are correct that we [nerds] have to learn to navigate the politics of [you] normies, but you don't seem to notice how you misrepresent the political opinions of members of the opposite [normie] camps. You seem to be unaware of your lack of intellectual autonomy.
