Remember that time when we elected a literal idiot to be president and a million Americans died because of how fucking stupid he was?
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.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
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.
That’s why this time the plan is to get rid of a health ministery before the next pandemic hits.
Can’t have high pandemic casualties if the pandemic is fake news and you’ve dismantled the agency responsible for coordinating testing!
And yet people never even talk about it now. No memorial, no day of remembrance, no lessons learned, just right back into the arms of the seditious traitor who killed more Americans than all of our wars combined.
Yeah but it’s not like we could bomb the virus so what are we gonna do? We’re Americans, after all, the only thing we can do is wage war. War on drugs, war on crime, war on poverty, war for independence, war to end slavery, war on Mexico, war on Spain.
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!!!
The early bird flu gets the brain worm
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.
They were moments away from killing him.
I saw it and the journey to get there. Sad to be on this side of the journey.
Shit.
I know shit’s bad right now with all that starvin’ bullshit. And the dust storms. And we runnin’ out of French Fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.
Oh snap it’s the man himself! I love you el presidente!
My favorite dichotomy is found on things like hurricane Helene posts. The same people who say humans aren’t affecting the climate say the gov is manipulating the weather.
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.
Nah the stupidest timeline is simulation 28 where Elon Musk was able to capture the FDA and 30% of the US population was left mentally disabled by malfunctioning brain implants. Compared to those guys you’re doing just fine simulation 19.
Dude, that’s just what will happen in a couple years. There’s no maybe about it.
Welcome to the kakistocracy
the connection between the two might be more subtle than you think. bird flu has already jumped to cows and non infectious virus particles were identified in supermarket pasteurised milk. RFK endorses raw milk and is anti vaxx. Go figure.
RFK won’t be happy until polio returns. He’ll probably wave the remaining samples of smallpox around to show it was fake too.
Also, some lab monkeys escaped in Florida recently. So, it looks like we’ll be starting another trump presidency with another pandemic. It’ll probably wait until he eliminates the pandemic response team again before it hits.
North Carolina.
Damn! Corrected on my correction haha
Yes.
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.
Jesus, this was embarrassing to read. You’re not just wrong, you’re also a massive asshole about it.
Prime c/iamverysmart material. Thanks for the laugh.
