I never said they’re dumb. I said they don’t care. Most people don’t care about these things.
I am able to see the 50 things I can do every single day without having to think too hard and I am grateful for that.
I don’t care to know why the elevator I’m riding in is safe. I just care that it is. I don’t want to even have the option of tuning the torque on the elevator motor. Or to tune the right temperature on my cappuccino machine to ensure optimal frothing or whatever. Or to care that 103.5 FM in the radio isn’t exactly in the 103.50000000 MHz. I’m glad that someone made the choice for me so I can enjoy the end product and get on with my life.
