No fucking shit, Sherlock. In other news: "water is wet" and "fire is hot", and later "capitalism does nothing for non-capitalists, and should be overthrown"
Why is this not top comment?
Because it's the same kind of tired "I knew it all along" comment that's under every depressing post like this - a comment that simultaneously undervalues both deep analysis and scientific rigor in service of a cheap, emotional moment of superiority over those who "haven't figured it out yet".
Thanks for the thorough response. I appreciate it. I do enjoy the more thoughtful engagement of Lemmy compared to Reddit.
