You are right.
You’re right about them being right.
And you’re wrong, do your research
Uhht
People want to be correct.
For some that means never being questioned. For some, it means always questioning themselves.
Um, actually, people don't want to be told they're incorrect whether directly or indirectly.

Assuming all the information on the internet was true, this could have been reevaluated.
But in today’s world unfortunately internet is more fabricated information than real information
The internet did get rid of ETI theories of UFOs and probably facts. Now we have Wikipedia and ubiquitous cameras.
Instead we have WTF is THAT UFOs called UAP, and singing abandoned buildings, but no ghosts.
Part of the problem now is fake news and we're about to lose video authentication the first time someone makes a convincing AI-generated street incident.
The fake news honestly frightens me. Lord knows what will happen because of it but there's many truly terrible possibilities
wwii was started with fake news
I don't particularly remember many people saying that. I think they were all up their asses about iq.
Ah, yes, that all meaning number that represents your ability to exceed at very specific and biased tasks. Love it
I don't think they're too bad, but than again I did score 1st.
The problem, I'd say, is that they measure primarily geometric and rational reasoning ability.
But in practice, you need much more than that. You need empathy, a good intuition for nature, life experience, human connections, extensive education, and the right environment to use these abilities. None of which is easy to measure.
There was a lot of talk about how being able to access any information would drastically increase the average knowledge base, which could possibly increase IQ.
is has increased intelligence, in countries where they didn’t also gut the schools….
tbf the internet is also jam-packed with misinformation which doesn't only counteract people learning the truth, but also makes them confident about their false views
Who knew stupidity was always the lies of man
Lack of education and critical thinking. Which people thought was because of the lack of available access to information. Yup, turns out even with access to knowledge people still wont bother to educate themselves.
Now they are blaming educators because they are voluntarily ignorant, we lead the horse to water but we cant make them drink....doesn't help when they want to call educators racists for trying to encourage a postive self image or dare I utter the taboo phrase, social awareness...
Bro's saying this as if written and spoken language didn't count as information before LMAO.
The only difference now is the bandwidth but the information was there
I always knew that it was due to christianity
