I'm more of a lurker here, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the spectrum of responses. At least personally, I'm copping to the ML bent here (same username) and telling people this community still has redeeming value, and I have people maligning me and telling me to log off? Wha-?

Are these people just suffering from lib brain, or am I missing something?

    A lot of people are pathologically incurious

    This has always been the biggest mindfuck in my personal life. Maybe it's just because I probably have at least one Cluster A personality disorder, but I've never been able to understand people who can just take things at face-value without questioning them or doing their own research to the extent that they weren't beat down or exhausted or something. I understand being exchausted and not haivng the energy to think about things, but how the fuck are you gonna be rich and comfortable and not be asking questions all the time?

      I think you answered your own question.

        Isn't the entire point of getting rich the fact that you can ask questions and call out demonic cunts without worrying about starving or being banished to rot in a gutter?

        Like I said, my brain simply can't conceive of the idea of being uncurious. Evil, devious, uncaring, sure. But not wanting to know the real story? Inconceivable. Even if you're a rich asshole who doesn't care if anyone on Earth lives or dies, don't you care to know what going on to spite your enemies? God damn, Capitalists suck! They aren't even trying!
