I know, it's frustrating to lose a debate. Those really come down to who is the better debater and not who's right. But it's usually easy to see if someone's looking for a debate instead of an actual conversation. Meaning they just want to win instead of trying to understand your perspective. In those cases I'd suggest just not to engage.
And yeah, humanity seems pretty depressing when you turn on the news, but just think of the filter they're using: Bad news is good news. While one genius hacked a bank or built a bomb a thousand others have saved lives and made an impact for the better. You just don't hear about them nearly as often.
As a matter of fact most geniuses work at apple stores. The world's a strange place.
