The intrusive thoughts won this round.

Sorry @Alice and @TheBreadmonkey

XKCD comic template about expert overestimation of laypeople knowledge.

Two stick figures are talking:

Beige.party is second nature to us shitposters, so it's easy to forget the average person only knows Alice.

And Breadmonkey, of course.

Of course.

Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.

@laprice We can try assuming no knowledge at all. Starting from kitchen basics, with the intention of finding a common starting point and building out from there. But then we take the risk people might get bored, or worse, feel patronised. In discussing anything with anyone, one walks a constant tightrope between accusations of being elitist, or boring/ arrogant.

Knowing stuff sucks. I totally understand the protagonist in Pi taking a drill to his head.

Is this, by chance, a pastiche?

@laprice @TheBreadmonkey I’m going to start introducing myself to others as Alice McFlurry as if I expect them to know who I am and I can only hope that Ben will do the same by introducing himself as The Bread Monkey.

EXACTLY like Madonna and Prince.
But if you ask me, I'll be unable to explain how they're alike.
