Based on the previous statements, yes. However, as a matter of fact, not necessarily insult.
The good news is you’re following up with questions and want to learn more, instead of doubling down. With curiosity you will become more literate.
Maybe you were born with all the knowledge of the human race, but the rest of us have to learn it.
The education system in the country you are from has failed you. Assuming you are in your mid-late teens, or older, scientific topics should have already been taught in what North America would call “middle school” (11-14 years old). That teaches you things like conservation of momentum.
There is a reason why it’s called illiteracy, because there is an expectation that the baseline level of education everyone in developed countries receives teaches them the fundamentals of how the world around them works. Without this fundamental understanding it’s not possible to understand more complex topics that build upon it, stunting growth.
I agree with you. Good comment. I am an interesting case, I was born in the west, and I’m back home now, but my parents traveled during my school years, and my education has holes. (One of which being how rockets work apparently! lol)
To answer your last comment, i think it must be the internet that makes the literate annoyed with the less literate, and the illiterate frustrated with the perceived arrogance of the literate.
Back in time I would imagine that both parties would mix in separate circles and not share in conversations like this.
Am I saying you are scientifically illiterate?
