Thread 938333934

I have noticed people are becoming dumber by the day. Here are some observations

*A large number of people legitimately think the Earth is flat
*People believing the moon landings are fake
*Easily fooled by crappy AI
*Easily tricked by the most blatant scams from shit skins in India
*Lacks even the most basic understanding of grade school science
*Trump supporters

it has to be one of 2 things
A. People have always been retarded and social media is just allowing them to spread it further
B. People are actually becoming more retarded by the day

Or:

Dumbass theories like flat earth are purposely perpetuated because more true shit is out in the open now so it has to be diluted so no one knows what's actually true

>Believe blatantly false propaganda like "Russian collusion" or "drink the bleach"
people have been conditioned to believe fake narratives over politics. Is it any wonder that all the other shit creeps through? The propagandists need people without critical thought who believe anything from "authority", and it's what they got.

unironically covid, plus the onset of dementia for boomers are causing things to get worse, but americans have always been stupid. Several of those things are just symptoms of evangelical teachings

I'd go with A. Social media allowed Dunning-Krueger to grow exponentially.

Not just social media. All of the internet. Just look how any time something happens, suddenly there are instant experts everywhere, telling you about deep sea submersible engineering and high pressure fluid dynamics, or whatever, from people who've never taken a science class past intro classes "for non-science majors"
People with no ability to critically examine anything they read, but who are certain about whatever the fuck they just looked up for the first time in their life.
And it's not just the dumbasses. You have otherwise smart people pontificating on shit they've never even heard of before for the same reasons.
