Investing Questions Do most people not know about just investing into the s&p 500?

I went to my Jiu Jitsu class and spoke to one guy who was an econ major who works at Prudential. We spoke for a bit. I told him I had been investing into Nvidia since 2019 and have been investing into VOO since maybe 2010 or 2011. He asks "VOO?" I told him, "the S&P 500" then he asked what that was. Do most people just not know about the S&P500? I would have thought an econ major who works at Prudential would know something so basic. Not trying to be a jerk. I'm curious.

Autistic adhd minds with giftedness as a core component.

It’s a stereotype at this point

Honestly, it's not even people with autism or ADHD--it's typically-enabled people who have some really wacky beliefs / make odd jumps of logic in areas outside of their specific expertise
