My FIL just knew that the covid shots were going to kill my wife and I. The goalposts kept moving after we survived each alleged length of time without dying. Last one was “You’ll die in 30 years because of the covid vaccine”.
Wtf? I ride a motorcycle. And I’m in my 40’s. I spend time in small aircraft sometimes. I’m 100% positive I’ll die in the next 30 years from something.
Edit: My rambling inebriated comment reminded me that I’ve somehow managed to avoid covid completely. I’ve either never had it, or it was such a mild case that I didn’t even notice. Thanks vaccines, I get to die in 30 years instead of a few years ago.
If there was, they’d reject it anyway. I mean, it’s kinda their thing.
Even if there was they wouldn’t take it. It might cause autism!
Can’t stop stupid, best I can do is slow it down.
Hay I’m an offended two that. Or I wood be if I’m can read. Many happy I can’t not do reading.
Well there is, it’s called education… but morons fear it almost as much as the tracking sensors Bill Gates put in the Covid vaccine
Education is only a cure for ignorance.
There are many stupid people that are very highly educated.
You can actually also learn to be less stupid in school and it would still be called “education.”
I know that some of my teachers occasionally tried to teach us how to think critically. How to solve problems. They made me write arguments. There were debate classes that I didn’t take. They taught some philosophy in my English classes. Math had word problems.
I’d like it if all that stuff was part of the official curriculum and they had a required critical thinking course or something. But it wasn’t nothing.
I would argue in those cases that you didn’t learn to be less stupid, you learned smarter things.
Your brain is still clocked at the same speed, you’re just performing more efficient processes.
Are you suggesting that one’s stupidity is determined at birth and then their stupidity can never decrease? But even with a strange definition like that, I would argue that a good education plan would keep your brain from atrophying, and so the net result would be the same as if education decreased stupidity.
Mark Rober is Mormon.
He helped build the Mars rover but he’s Mormon. I was so shocked to find that out recently, like what?
How are you that smart and dumb at the same time
I think you are confusing those who can buy a degree vs those who actually earn one.
No, just because you’re stupid doesn’t mean you can’t learn.
You just tend to learn more slowly than other people.
Just because you’re smart doesn’t mean that you are always correct. It means that you can learn the wrong information faster.
The difference between a bad stupid person or a bad smart person and a good stupid person and a good smart person is what information they have absorbed and processed and what they do with it.
That’s aside from the entire point that stupidity is a spectrum, like you might be the world’s greatest theoretical physicist, but be completely incapable of wearing matching socks without somebody putting them on you for you.
Agreed… however, I find it hard to believe that a person with an education (i.e. a solid base of knowledge) would be as susceptible to stupid ideas as ignorant people are. Maybe this is where the message got muddled for me.
For example, a person with a normal knowledge of science (let’s say European highschool level), should be immune to the notion the Earth is flat… maybe it takes them longer to convince themselves (if they are stupid and as you say, slower to “get there”)
Unfortunately, the vaccine for stupidity is transmissible to vulnerable groups.
