Nah, it's the dumb bias that smart people have, assuming their intelligence is viewed as more valuable than someone else's feelings.

The hard black pill that thinking people have to swallow eventually is the realization that the world broadly doesn't care that you know more than them, because people exist in their current, present feelings and rarely think outside of that space. It can't be helped, changed or improved. We have the same exact brains that our ancestors surviving on glaciers had, and it has the same survival tools built in. Just because our brain can do neat tricks like formulate language to make complex ideas into abstractions, doesn't mean that's natural for anyone, nor should be expected.

Sadly, we have no real choice but to try to build a better world for stupid people, because that's most of us. And yah, it will always be a thankless, misunderstood job that involves as much trickery and misdirection to accomplish as any parent learning to do housework around small children.
