Abstract rational logic seems to be very poor in this place. I often forget how the elementary must be tediously explained.
Or… you’re not nearly as smart as you think you are. You might be extremely intelligent and well-read, but you are plenty fucking stupid. There’s no point in having ideas, regardless of quality or merit, if you can’t convey them such that people can understand them.

When you’re the smartest person in the room you are in the wrong room.
When pushing the smartest people out of the conversation, the manipulative goal is to convince them that they are the smartest person in the room so they leave. Therefore it is my duty as someone that genuinely cares about my neighbors to say, no, this is simple, it is rational. You are a halfwit or shill. I know what I said and its rational grounding in simple logic. I cannot fix stupid in anyone other than myself. Wasting energy worrying about such things is an irrational waste of time.
