"Stupid people don't exist" is a bold take.

  That's not what the parent was claiming. The grandparent was claiming that most people are stupid. The parent was pointing out that most people are not stupid. Some people are, and many people have various biases and preconceptions that make it easier for them to be manipulated into believing misinformation.

    > "Those people" does not exist. It's just an illusion of your own limited perspective. We are on this together and calling people stupid not it is true, not it helps. I don't understand what's going on on this site. This is the second time recently I've come across someone claiming a comment didn't say something that's essentially copied verbatim mere centimeters higher on the monitor. It's basically in the same eyeful. Hell, the commenter even added the word "stupid", which wasn't in the parent comment.

    I was saying critical thinking is not as common a skill as you may think. Most people aren't stupid, but most people ACT stupid by acting without thinking.
