Have Audiophiles lost their CIVILTY!

@waytoomuchstuff posts state many truths.

As for divide and lack of civility, this as old as human existence. wars nearly always being fought. Dehumanizing the 'other' leaves no room for communication or empathy. These events play out due to human predilection for zero sum games, humans much prefer winning to compromise, Contemporary social media is the greatest propaganda machine ever known by humans, presents a perspective that total annihilation of your opponents is within reach, no willingness to compromise when total win within your grasp.

The 'Dunning-Kruger effect' is the best explaination I've heard. The less you know, the more you think you're right. (as shown in the comments above.)

“The first rule of the Dunning-Kruger Club is that you don't know you are a member of the Dunning-Kruger Club.” David Dunning The Dunning-Kruger Effect is when people are too ignorant to understand that they really don't understand. Their confidence exceeds their competence in a certain area.

How it works

• People with limited knowledge or competence in a given area overestimate their abilities. 
• They may be quick to offer solutions or advice without fully understanding the problem. 
• They may take unnecessary risks because they believe they possess superior skills.
