"I get a very strong “has never actually interacted with a working class person of average intelligence for a long period of time” vibe from some rationalist diaspora people, which is really unsettling, though. I guess it’s plausible that that could happen to you if your path through adolescence just goes from one Fancy Institution after another and the closest you get to a community college, public university that’s not Berkeley, or trade school is by driving past one. (Or the non-US equivalents, I don’t know too much about other countries’ educational systems.) There’s a good chance I’m completely wrong about many people on this website–I am not known for my skill at making predictions about others’ lives–but my System 1 says holy guacamole, there are some sheltered birds on here."
Then there are those who have interacted with such people for way longer than would count as not!cruel-and-unusual-punishment for whatever sins they have committed before birth and are desperate to get the hell away from them. I’d be very interested to know how these types manifest differently because my brain can imagine them being seemingly indistinguishable on the outside when being safely sheltered, while the subjective experience might vary from “hey, these are some strange creatures with curious habits” to “help no take them away don’t attract their attention they will tear you apart and feel good about it put them as far away from me as possible please”.
