This morning, my entire family either switched or said they already had a Signal account. Now we have a family Signal chat.

I expected resistance, not compliance! I’m very happy.

    I think its more so willfully ignorant than stupid, which in itself could be seen as stupid I guess.

    If my 80 y/o grandma can do it then noone has an excuse

      Hah, yeah, willful ignorance is imo… just a kind of stupidity, its actually an active, intentional stupidity that takes effort to maintain.

      Powerful stupid, you might say.

      Or, you know, just outright delusion.

      So thats much worse than say, genuine naive ignorance or actual inability to comprehend the relevant concepts and their importance.

      Those behaviors I would generally be more kind towards, because… there’s either room for improvement or they really can’t help it.

      But if you insist on being wrong, even though you know you’re wrong?

      You’re fucking stupid, lol.

      As you say, if 80 yo gam-gam can figure it out… ~90% of people have no excuse.
