I'm not high IQ low EQ. At least not high IQ. But I do think society is better when it has the capacity to laugh at it's own absurdities. Which also means mocking the establishment as well. In some ways I feel that what happened with the anti vaxx stuff was a serious lack of skepticism about the vaccines, and suppression of the more comical position: these have been rushed and might not be great but it's what we've got and it's probably better than getting COVID.
