I am really starting to understand it’s not so much that people are actually stupid, but that they have been so thoroughly brainwashed and conditioned that the form of callowness in which they exist overrides all forms of thought so that the very idea of taking courageous action is fundamentally impossible. It’s quite sad really.
It’s a complex question that I resent people think can easily or sensitively discussed on forums like this because of the extremely nuanced nature of not only the conversation, content and deep historical knowledge needed to discuss such things; but also the very real bigotry and hate that is directed in both directions for either trying to question, or accepting the historical narrative. It’s rather infuriating as it is a needed conversation that seems nearly impossible because of how much it has loaded itself and the aggressive nature in which questioning isn’t presented as sincere questioning, similar to how defending the narrative doesn’t seem to have legitimacy beyond its own defense. So frankly I can’t really comment on any of it without opening a can of worms that needs a 5 hour podcast format just to get the preliminary view to understanding the very nature of the question itself.
It’s this kind of shit that you clearly fail to understand works against you. If you want a real conversation that could actually be productive in a meaningful way than be willing to put in the effort towards it rather than just being as asshole.

Our academia-heavy culture rewards intelligence and conformity. Those who come out on top are the smartest who color within the lines. If you’re not smart enough, you won’t make the grades. If you’re too free-thinking, you won’t pass the tests. The system ejects nonconformists. This explains the bell curve meme. The left-curver is sufficiently disagreeable to reject the dogma. The right-curver is intelligent enough to see past it. But we both look crazy to middle-core normies.
Are you an AI or a Nazi? Simple question.
Goddamnit, and lol.

Is a cow stupid for being bred into domestication over thousands of years? Is a human stupid for being psyoped into domestication over the past 100 or more years? Probably not. We're got a big hole to dig ourselves out of as a species with a small group of predators trying to devour us. nostr:nevent1qqszsgymvrajrxdmcxxmlxas2pf7g6zz7jh5arpamh7czvfljxwgt8qpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qhk0tv47ztd8kekngsuwwycje68umccjzqjr7xgjfqkm8ffcs53dqxpqqqqqqzdqv93d
