I don't know, pick one:

A. You have an excellent education, the means to answer questions: building a consistent understanding of the world. You are hard to trick. That said, you live in a society where the powerful can't be criticized. Many things you know cannot be said.

B. You freely and loudly express your ideas. But, you have very little education, formal or otherwise. You have been tricked before & know you could be again. You just don't have the best tools to prevent this.

@futurebird I have a pretty solid education, but I find that I still can be tricked. The tricksters refine their methods as their full-time job, I have other work than analysing their trickery. So I'm just harder to trick, but not immune.

Are you living in your home or apartment, living your own life...

OR

...do you run a bed and breakfast for your cat?

@futurebird there's also second breakfast, lunch, teatime, dinner and supper. So, not a bed&breakfast but full board.

If I had more energy I'd be tempted to write a snarky, satirical, 21st century Jetson's style short story set in a future where all the dot-com 1.0-3.0 hype turned out to be true and faithful predictions of our lives in 2025. Just so I could explore the unanticipated drawbacks ("oops, the Amazon drone delivering your neighbour's new dishwasher just fell through your roof; meanwhile trades.com only shows you roofers who live in Boston, England, not Boston, MA").

@cstross @sabik about that .. when I was at an open source event that Stallman also attended 1992(ish, I forget) I got told to stay out of reach of him by other women. It's not been news, it's just that nobody cared.
