this is a terrific turn of phrase. thanks.
- red-iron-pine 4y agothere are liberal low-info voters, and high-info voters of both sides. plus don't conflate low info to == low intelligence. low info is as much about attention and willingness to delve into policies as it is about sharpness. your Stanford STEM grad working 60 hours a week doesn't have time to dig deep into anything outside of some casual reddit or wired or HN browsing, and efforts to convey expectations via simple things like screenshoting someone else's tweets work very well.
- doctor_eval 4y agoI did not make the assumptions you’re concerned about but I appreciate the spirit of your comment. I would however argue that low info often correlates with low access to info. Or perhaps more correctly, you don’t know what you don’t know, so you don’t know to look. If theres anything I’ve learned as I’ve become older it’s how little I know about anything.
