50% of people are below average.

I try to get out of my bubble occasionally and talk to people with different political, religious, or other opinions. I usually run back, take a shower, and hide under the blankets for a few days afterward. There are a lot of people with some very disturbing opinions. It's starting to make the lizard-alien-overlord folks that I encounter regularly seem almost benign.
