    That’s funny to hear. I’d actually say this kind of thing that happens with electronics is unusual, and people do know what’s in their own best interest the vast majority of the time. Dunno if that puts me in the picture or not.

      and people do know what’s in their own best interest the vast majority of the time.

      Is that true if the vast majority of people are either uninformed or apathetic?

        Magical boxes aside, people understand and pay attention to things that are of direct personal interest to them. Transit schedules, typical prices of things in their area and so on. Which garbage bins to check if you’re really poor, how to avoid taxes if you’re really rich.

        So, I guess it wouldn’t be, but people actually aren’t stupid or apathetic (about their own life) in general.
