>>1758492>Why do so few people (seemingly, at least) know how to play such a basic and commonly known game?Because the brainlet horde has a nasty habit of denouncing mentally demanding activities as nerdy and undesirable, and will socially ostracize those who engage in activities that demonstrate intellectual superiority over the average brainlet. What it comes down to, anon, is that no one likes to feel inferior. If you are intellectually inferior, your best bet is to either tell yourself and others that intelligence is either bad, or to tell yourself and others that mentally demanding activities aren't a measure of intelligence, and that everyone is somehow "intelligent" in their own way.
