Most people have never been trained to actually think. At least not critically.

After whatever this was I engaged in, I couldn’t agree more.

[3am dorm conversation intensifies] Depends on how loosely you define the term. Maybe. Maybe we’re all inside a simulation and everyone’s just LLMs with slightly different training data.

Bitcoiners are no exception, i hope you understand this. And most aren't brainwashed, they just lack efficient critical thinking skills which could, in turn, make them more susceptible to a form of more severe mental manipulation like "brainwashing" or indoctrination–whichever term you prefer.

Fyi, saying that you believe most are "brainwashed" is a form of self-indocrination in itself. Most people know that fiat is consistently losing purchasing power, most are aware of the endless levels of geopolitical drama that's occurring on the global chessboard we occupy, and most are at least aware of Bitcoin's existence. The issue is that most don't understand how to opt out or, in Bitcoin's case, opt in.
