32:32Now PlayingThe stupid have always had opinions about everything under the sun. But they were wary of expressing them lest they be shamed, ridiculed, and shunned by their betters. This is no longer the case: the dumb are brazen and vociferous, drowning out, by the force of sheer numbers, all informed voices.
The ignorant and the retarded are the overwhelming majority. They trust their pitiable life experience over science. They adhere to magical thinking. And they are fierce in the defense of their grandiose, inflated, fantastic self-image as undiscovered geniuses (Dunning-Kruger effect).
Technology empowers mediocre failures and losers in their self-delusion of malignant egalitarianism.
Access to raw information is not the same as possession of structured knowledge. But the stupid can’t tell the difference: “I am as knowledgeable as my doctor or professor because I can google. My opinions, therefore, count as facts.”
Stupidity is on the rise for two reasons: 1. A reverse Flynn effect: there has been a precipitous decline in average IQ scores in the past 4 decades; and 2. Inanity is tolerated and legitimized thereby encouraging indolence, entitlement, and nescience.
