You remind me of that remark attributed to George Carlin, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

Although the people who have ... well, baffled more than disappointed me, are anything but stupid. I guess I'm looking at the effectiveness of social engineering, when otherwise sane people suddenly develop concentric circles for eyes, and can't believe I'm on the opposite side of their take on something- politics mainly, but sometimes sociology, materiality, spirituality, especially conspiracy, and more I'm sure.

It's just baffling that good friends can suddenly derail like this. Never used to happen; but I'm forced to wonder if I've changed, and not them.

For the record, I do still have a very few with whom I can actually converse, now and then. Got to watch our timing, though. Cheers to a fellow Voat-goat!
