It's easier to be dumb and ignorant than it is to be smart and intellectual.
Humans tend to to take the path of least resistance sadly.
My buddy once said, "sometimes knowing too much is worse than not knowing at all." It's easy to smile and nod when you force yourself to accept everything is all good. We've all argued with an idiot relative. I had a cousin want to fight because I told him there's no way smoking a blunt gets you higher than a vaporizer because vaping heats the thc off, while smoking burns the plant past combustion. A larger percentage of thc is released when it's vaped...he kept saying "no" even when I showed him research. I was done after he called me an uppity nigga that hangs out with white people...I consider black people saying that to another black person trying to educate them on a topic incredibly insulting. I almost said "how dare you?", but then realized that would have added more fuel to the fire.
