> those smarter than you.

That’s such a terrible and unfair take.

Less tech savvy or more busy/tired people are not less smart than you. I can’t believe I actually have to put that in words.



Just wait until GP is retired and old, they will finally garner some sympathy because by then they will themselves be "a ... low capability individual".


I think OP used "..." because he has some sympathy. He could use better word than "smarter", but it is indeed a certain kind of smartness.

I am sure that when I will get old I will become less capable and I am worried about this. Because looking at birth rates and inverted population pyramids around me signify that I will be an old man in the sea of old people. A conman's dream I suppose. It is not that I don't have sympathy saying all this (just as I think OP thinks) for those other people, quite the opposite, because if I will live long enough I will be one of them.
