If the submitter is the same as the poster, I'm curious about something, do you experience this same degree of generalised apathy and intellectual laziness with audiences outside of Australia? And if so, is the extent smaller, greater, or exactly the same?
- dools 15y agoHello, yes it's me. Firstly I'm not saying it's anything anti-intellectual or lazy on the part of those I'm attempting to explain things to, it's just that the decision is being made by a part of their brain that's not charged with doing the understanding. Also I've not found any significant difference between folks outside of AU and within it - although I couldn't claim to have any sort of statistically signficant sampling of either. It's mostly one-to-one personal communications I'm referring to (not necessarily face-to-face but also limited to the maybe 20 people or so that I've had discussions with recently).
- etherael 15y agoI understood you weren't actually saying that, merely that I've personally found it to be far more pronounced in Australia than elsewhere. But yeah, if your experiences are limited to mostly Australians not a very valid question. Thanks for the feedback.
