The problem is that normal people cannot handle, or work with abstraction, at all. What I’m coming to realize is that, because of the aforementioned, there is little point in trying to explain things to them or warn them about things. Normals are also basically hardwired to emulate authority, in thought and action, which means that regardless of the quality of explanation or warning from anomalous sources, they’re going to get their information from the normie guys and gals on socials, in the press, and in politics who make their social living by being about five minutes ahead of what the hive mind will be saying tomorrow morning and then feigning brilliance. The faux oracles of our world, basically, great and small. What I’m realizing is that it is best to simply do whatever you think is best with what power you have, only reach for what you know you can control, and don’t bother with explanation to or persuasion of the talking farm animals. There’s no point to it. It’s just a personal energy sink for anyone who actually has a clue. The mainstream always has been, is, and ever will be a gigantic lumbering repeating mistake doomed for disaster after tragedy after disaster. Because the average human mind, cognitively and psychologically, is what it is and is unlikely to change for the better. That’s why most humans will always be little more than prey for sociopaths, and why, nine times out of ten, trying to help them simply isn’t worth the risk or the hassle. Kids and animals are worth it. Adult humans, not so much.
