The “gullible” label wasn’t directed at you or any specific person. It was a general statement. Don’t take it personally. It could apply to me as much as anyone.

I think it is important to distinguish between intelligence and consciousness. They are related but are not the same.

Words have meanings. We all chose the wrong words at times, including me. I was merely offering a suggestion with regards to gullible. 🙂

Also, others cannot read another poster's mind as to whom he may or may not be focusing upon when they use a word that has a negative connotation attached to it. I didn't take it personally though, just so you will know. 🙂

It was more of a segue of identifying the poor choice of your using the word gullible, as Sam Altman had also done with the word break coupled with capitalism.

Sometimes I get ahead of my skis. 🙂
