Explain to me how overfishing and dumping by neighbour countries somehow justifies taking hostage a ship transporting goods from China to Europe?

Of course. But that wasn’t the complaint/satire of the satirist whose article we’re discussing.

Some topics are just complicated. If I write you a tutorial in fast Fourier transforms I can’t start the tutorial at 1+1=2.

So maybe the tutorial the satirist was satirising just wasn’t quite aimed at the satirist.

Help me understand what the author is trying to say, please. It could be I’m missing something. It just reads to me like the author feels everybody else has a responsibility to somehow make complicated topics easy.

Oh do grow up, frankly.

When I taught myself to program, there was no internet. You went and bought an enormous, 800 page book (usually written by Charles Petzold) and you hoped to Darwin something, anything would be understandable and lead you to move forward just a little bit.

If it’s worthwhile doing it’s hard.
