Right. No kidding.
I have been saying this for years.
The problem is that the "average person" is a retard with no capability for logical thought, and the development trend is driven by politics which are driven by the "average person".
I just read a post about people buying "coffee" in Japan. Then, of course, there are the daily "bitcoin is dead" posts. It is a culture of mass stupidity.
There is a big gulf between reality and what you read in the news and forums. If you use logical thinking, you will find that most of what you read in newspapers makes no sense.
