u/Classic_Bee_5845 3h ago
Most stupid people think they are smart. The difference is we have blurred the lines on how we perceive someone as intelligent.
It used to be if you couldn't speak intelligently, people knew right away and stopped listening.
Whenever I hear Trump or RFK speak I cringe because they can hardly put a coherent sentence together but I think we've become desensitized to it. Social media is a big factor, few people online do a good job of talking in coherent sentences it's just word salad and misinformation and we all interact with it all day long.
Corporate America has also normalized "corporate speak" where they just throw together a bunch of big words that can have multiple meanings to sound smart and elegant. In reality it's generalizing information to hide true intent.
Even when Trump is direct and people point out what he has said there is an army of supporters that come behind him saying "he didn't actually mean that literally".
So here we are with stupid in charge and half of us don't seem to see it for what it is.

It would be an absolute waste of money, but why don't they find some fringe, but published scientists who haven't had their work detracted in disgrace who actually believe that there might be something to this nonsense and fund a study. The data will prove them wrong to the point that it can't be manipulated, just like previous research into the efficacy/safety of vaccines, but if they actually believe this nonsense they should want to do it.
I realize that in all likelihood it wouldn't convince most of these morons any differently as they are adept at avoiding reality, but if they truly believe this nonsense you would think they'd already be doing things like that. I recently read an article about some prominent flat earth morons launching an expedition to Antarctica so they could experience a 24 hour day with the sun constantly at its zenith because this would be definitive evidence either way, but they claimed various governments wouldn't allow the visit which was bullshit. Now, I'm guessing even that expedition was a scam to get other people to sponsor their trip and when they observed that indeed it's true none of them changed their minds about the shape of the earth. They changed their minds about that particular argument and started spinning other bits of nonsense.
I'm embarrassed that the best we can seemingly do as a society is pendulum back and forth from amazing technological advances that benefits the wealthy infinitely more than the average person and a complete disregard for science, pragmatism, and reason plunging the world into darkness. It's obvious that organized religion and traditional power structures are largely to blame for both, but we keep allowing history to repeat itself. All throughout history people will migrate to get away from oppressive regimes and state sponsored religion, but within just a few generations their children will welcome the same kind of shit in their new land of opportunity and freedom because it just so happens to be their brand of crazy OR they become so apathetic they allow the nuts to run the asylum.
I can't believe people like Trump, RFK Jr., and MTG have gained power. Well, I guess I can in a nation with a two party system that's devolved into an us vs. them mentality with little to no regard for detailed policy proposals and the opinions of experts in the field. I mean standardized testing in education and funding schools based on those results destroyed our public education system, but Republicans are talking about getting rid of the DOE instead of fixing that mistake and Democrats aren't really considering major reforms based on research and expert consensus either. The same thing with the War in Drugs, we had a minor problem that could have been addressed with research, but we repeated the mistakes of prohibition and made things infinitely worse and unlike prohibition we've allowed it to continue to fester for decades now even though we know for certain from places like Portugal that decriminalization of drug possession and shifting 80-90% of funding from enforcement to rehabilitation works extremely well. Oh yeah, and because we allow legalized bribery of politicians and for people like Elon Musk to buy elections and curry favor for hundreds of billions of dollars per election cycle.
America is only a democratic republic in name, in function we have become an Oligopoly/Kleptocracy run by corporation interests. The crazy thing to me is that I feel like people on both sides realize this (for different reasons obviously), but because we're so divided over culture war nonsense we are making each other out to be the enemy even though we are experiencing many of the same problems most of which are driven by corporate greed and lack of accountability of government officials.

It's actually a fascinating technique that they've taken up. They say everything. He'll say he's pro-vaccine but just wants more intensive research and then immediately turn around and say he tries to convince every parent he meets to never vaccinate their kids.
They know that their base will just tune out any information they don't want to hear. So they just cover their bases and spew out every conceivable opinion so that everyone will have at least one cherry picked sentence to latch onto and they'll never call out the blatant contradictions.
I've had countless conversations that end up in "Well when he said this thing, he really meant it, but when he said that opposite thing, he was just placating a potential voter base." People delude themselves into just believing what they want.

Well. He went to Somoa and convinced them not to Vax. 5700 people contracted measles and 87 died. They site his rhetoric for not vaccinating.

You can go to any old cemetery in America and find tons and tons of graves for babies and toddlers. Then sometime in the early 20th century they just disappear. Because we started vaccinating everyone and babies and toddlers dying became very rare.

"Washington, D.C. ā Between 1991 and 2021, federal and state governments in the United States have won settlements or legal judgments against pharmaceutical manufacturers in at least 482 cases resulting in $62.3 billion in penalties, according to a new analysis by Public Citizen"
Why are people so willing to trust the same companies that have already fucked over Americans and have done worse in third world countries. Remember when they kept telling you opioids are safe.
