    This thing is more rant than article so it’s hard to refute what is being said.

    People who tell you they are smart never are.

    Likewise, people who tell you they’ve figured out how to navigate the system without being influenced by it are the easiest to control.

    One of its basic premise here that is flawed. Most people go to the polls knowing exactly who they are going to vote for. Those who don’t, are the ones marketers are trying to influence.

    It isn’t really clear what the goal of this rant is. I find a lot of these things come down to the adage “teenagers think they invented sex” – people often confuse their mental awakening as novel discovery.

    These people are rarely smart and are rarely worth listening to as they clearly fail to understand the next steps to such self discovery is to explore existing knowledge.

      Quote of the day there, my friend.
