I'm glad we live in a world where a person's worth and the validity of their opinions are determined by how much activism they do per week. It makes everything so much simpler.
You seem really strange. I'd rather listen to a Dr. than a grandma for medical advice. I'd rather listen to a lawyer than a high school kid for legal advice. I'd rather listen to a state rep than someone on a budget committee for political advice. I'd rather listen to a company owner than a porter for business advice.
Likely, the vast majority of the world would agree with you. However, you are more than welcome to continue in your view, which I consider backwards.
