But I will say that this model of yours that says people do these things because they are stupid or “dumb” might help you cope emotionally, but it prevents you from reaching any genuine insight.

I'm not the person you were responding to but I just wanted to make perfectly clear that you are 100% full of shit.

It doesn't give anyone ANY measure of "cope" that so many people are fucking stupid. Its terrifying, despairing, and awful. I would rather delusionally believe I could convince them of rational stances, now that would be cope.
