Parent post / original context

Be careful with what you read here, not only in the context of crypto.

Oversimplified answers to complex questions often get the loudest applause, even when they are fundamentally wrong.

Many here seem to carry frustrations from their real lives, using this space to project hate, misinformation and distorted “truths” under the banner of supposed free speech.

Education and knowledge remain the only reliable antidotes.

They are what separate us from apes and Neanderthals.

Some people, unfortunately, never evolved beyond that point.
