Multimillion dollar team vs primitive brain of human. Many people bound to lose and fall through.
I think the problem is rooted in a large swath of society growing up in isolation. The past few decades has seen a sharp rise in suburban or exurb living (living in isolation), car centric transportation (traveling in isolation), and social media (socializing in isolation). High levels of partisanship in the states as well is not a coincidence. We have generations of children growing up playing video games in the suburbs because that’s all you can do from the moment you are born to the day you become an adult (or get a car).
