 and it is fair because there are lots of idiots that don’t know they are idiots, just like on Nostr… 
 It's like with everything … 
 yeah.

there’s the people that are idiots that know they are idiots: they don’t do anything

and then there’s the idiots that don’t know they are idiots or don’t care: they are dangerous because they will fuck things up for themselves and others

another example is the HWW industry…

a bunch of companies cut corners to the point where you could make a “most incompetently developed hww” marketing video and people would believe it

you could also make a “most secure hww” and they would believe it 
 People are better off buying a HWW off a random npub on nostr that isn't backdoored at all. 
 79% of people are idiots, regardless of the country they live in.
