Political Shitposting
Am I the only one who found a message of “hope” in Idiocracy? We start at a future dystopia approaching human extinction caused by following some of the worst trends in current society. Then a savior appears, and they’re smart enough to actually follow him? They’re able to overcome some of their worst natures and start on the road to recovery.
That's how you could tell it was fiction.
Silly Hollywood always insists on a happy ending.
I keep trying to tell people. We do not live in Idiocracy, Idiocracy is a fucking utopia compared to what our situation is
Welcome to the kakistocracy
Here we are, "Idiocracy .001", folks. We are at the point where they haven't even realized that they need a person with an actual brain. It will get worse, much worse. Maybe they will pick a pedophile for attorney general. Oh, wait.
RFK will replace vaccines with electrolytes, it's what plants crave.
But...but I'm not a plant... I'm pretty sure anyway.
stupidiest timeline
i'm waiting for MTG's nomination and we should be good to go
She probably won't get one since she called out Laura Loomer for ~~saying the quiet part out loud~~ being too racist
Wow, I wasn't even paying attention to her. Looks like she and Lauren Bobblehead both kept their seats. I really think this election confirms that we're in a simulation, and a drunk grad student just fucked with it.
I voted for them both because they're funny.
Camacho did try to kill him, to be accurate.
Statistically for some of us it's always been Idiocracy...
It's only takes two standard deviations above 100, before the difference between you and the average person, is the same as average person and someone with an intellectual disability.
If you're really unlucky you're 3 standard deviations above and then like 80%+ of the population would be classified as having an intellectual disability if your IQ was the frame of reference instead of 100.
And our own IQ is literally our own frame of reference...
So yeah. At any given point in human history, roughly 2%, definitely 0.1% have been living in fucking Idiocracy, and nothing will ever make it better for them.
Ignorance is bliss, because you never deal with someone that far below yourself, and you don't notice the other person being that much higher.
But 30 points is the line, because that's where differences become apparent and one sided frustration common.
IQ is some pseudoscientific bullshit though
IQ is not linear enough for this argument to hold imho
You think bell graph distribution should be linear?
I'm genuinely curious what you're trying to say here
No I don't think that of course.
What I am saying is that the meaning of relative differences is non linear. That is 30 IQ points difference is not the same kind of difference from 70 to 100 points as from 100 to 130 nor from 150 to 180.
Nope.
30 points is 30 points, and that's the round number around the point where the difference is very apparent to the person 30+ above the other...
If you've never experienced that before, most people never will. If you're the one talking to someone that much higher than you, if you did notice you would just noticed you're not understanding and you'd likely blame the person talking.
Exactly like Idiocracy.
Ignorance is bliss, because you never deal with someone that far below yourself, and you don’t notice the other person being that much higher.
If you're 100, only 2% are 30+ below you, and depending on your country you'll never really run into them.
But if you're 145, it's around 84% of the population, and the vast amount of people you interact with in public will give you that feeling.
I understand you're not getting this, but it doesn't mean it's something I just pulled out of my ass. You're just not understanding it
I am getting what you are saying. It's not difficult to understand but I understand that for you it must seem like I don't get it.
What I am stating though is that while you assume the relationship of IQ and that feeling you are describing to be linear it is in fact not.
Like most relationships between metric and human feelings it's highly non linear and individual to everyone. I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.
I am getting what you are saying
And then you go on to say you don't get it...
I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.
Have a nice life bub, it'll be less frustrating than it is for some of us at least.
The early bird flu gets the brain worm
We fortunately already have vaccines for bird flu
Well, as long as we fly out an antivaxxer in change of the only department that can ban existing vaccines, that should be fine.
Good to know. Also a point of info: RFK Jr. is against "big pharma vaccines".
Well, as long as you have the money to pay for it yourself, you're golden. This could decimate the Republican voting base forever though.
Remember that time when we elected a literal idiot to be president and a million Americans died because of how fucking stupid he was?
We were averaging one 9/11 every three days during Trump's pandemic. And that's just counting the deaths directly attributed to COVID, with the CDC and a shitload of states playing "don't test, don't tell" plus the delayed deaths due to cardiac injury I'm betting the death numbers were closer to 5x reported.
I still don't know why Kamela didn't just run ads reminding people of all those who aren't here because of Trump's handling of Covid.
That's why this time the plan is to get rid of a health ministery before the next pandemic hits.
Hey let's do it again! I'll call 10 million of my fellow Democrats and tell them not to bother showing up to vote. It'll be fun!!!
Not So Fun fact:
Bird flu has killed 50% of the humans it's infected so far, and that same idiot is going to be back in charge.
And this time, our soon to be Secretary of Health has part of his brain eaten away by a worm.
Only the best people, folks!
If you're speaking for the worm then I agree. I only enjoy the fattiest, juicy meat myself.
And then we prosecuted him for crimes, convicted him, and then sentenced him to live in government housing for the next 4 years?
Shhh, everything I said is true don't ruin it for me with facts.
Wrong kind of government housing, unfortunately 😓
Be the change you want to see in the world.
