@vital876@mastodon.social I suspect its more of an ego thing. These sort of people usually have no education or means to understand the subject. They compensate for the insecurity this would cause by convincing themselves they are smarter than all the people in the world who dedicated most of their life to learning and studying. They go so far as to try to paint studying and learning as a corruptinginfluence.
Its just insecurity, nothing more, nothing less.
