It's all designed to dumb us into a black and white opinion set. Have you noticed the Tyranny of Opinion. The insistence that we take sides? CNN gives a dumb view, then Fox gives the counter dumb view. We have lost the idea that it's OK, to have no opinion about some issue or other. But, a modern person is consider to be a sad and stupid wreak, when we express that.
That to me this the essence. We are being forced to take sides, no middle ground. And since we can't be truly, and completely informed, any position we are forced to take, (including the Stupid Study about which news is dumber,) is a position of ignorance by definition. Long ago I realized, taking sides for no real reason ior thought is what's stupid about our society.
its not a black and white option problem, its a black and white option in a universe of colourful options problem. One side gives us stupid opinions, the other side gives us retarded opinions, and the facts are beyond the grasp of the idiots who try to manufacture opinion (like WorldPublicOpinion.org Lulz at domain name convention in their incorporation name) or CNN or Fox. They really dont give two squirts of piss if we take a side or not, as long as we
STAY THE FUCK AWAY from the real facts, and science that shape our society, world and universe.
the cited
OPINION POLL was not a study by any stretch of the imagination, but the non thinking masses of "consumers" of manufactured opionin are conditioned to believe anything they are given by the media or politicians, and is called a "study" is sacred writ or "settled science" (lol at phrased only used by those with no interest in, or knowledge of science) despite the fact that they should have learned in middle school that science doesnt settle shit, it only asks more questions. Pluto isnt even a planet anymore for fucks sake!
When the data at question is a
Goddamned Opinion Poll from a leftist political organization with either deliberate or lazy errors on the subject of economics, science and history, the real victim is the truth. Those who slavishly cite this
Retarded Flawed Opinion Poll as a study are liars. the idea is sown in the fertile soil of the public unconscious of the seething masses, and the meme is born, "Fox News makes you dumb" when the truth is, listening to any of the media morons and believing they know jack shit about anything is the purest distillation of stupidity.
Journalism, "political science" and "education science" programs are populated by the second lowest tier of academic performance. "Students" who choose these programs are either teetering on the brink of failure, or are just at the end of their natural ability to be eductated. These 3 legs of the idiocy stool are the final stop on the higher education Slip-n-Slide of failure before you wind up in a Phys ed. program at community college and become a gym teacher. Sadly these three shit tier majors are the pool from which we are expected to draw the journalists who choose what does and does not go into the media's poison Kool-Aid, the political class of movers and shakers who craft the laws and make our rules, and the teachers and administrators who are expected to teach the youth of tomorrow, and give them the critical thinking and science background to become the leaders of the future.
When the craftsmen who create our most powerful societal institutions are drawn from the midden heaps of mediocrity and failure, the people who, with just one more keg-stand, would be relegated to teaching fat kids how to do jumping jacks, how can we expect anything more than 4 quintile performance? The people who run the media, our political theorists and the educators of our youth are intellectually just one step above the guy who mops the floors in a porno theatre and thinks he has a career. Allowing the dumbasses who are on the brink of flunking out of college to shape the nature of society for the next generation is why we are so deep in shit today. When the actual smart kids are studying physics, medicine, biology, engineering, and methematics, the middle tier students are studying law, business, economics, history and language, the assholes who are barely hangin in there gravitate to the easiest program they can squeeze into, and thats invariably, journalism, education and political "science".
What is truely stupid about our post-modern society is the slavish adherence to the idea that everyone is born equal, and nobody is really stupid. Brains, like any attribute span a wide arc, from the dimwits who cant figure out change from a simple transaction at a fast food joint without a consultation with the manager, to the brainiacs who leave the rest of the world wondering how the fuck they can turn a complex scientific concept into a simple equation that effectively predicts the output of a nuclear reaction that nobody can even create for another 30 years. Fuck you Einstein, stop being so smug.
Untill the masses stop venerating the high preists of mediocrity and start listening to those who know whereof they speak in their field of expertise we will continue to spiral into the abyss of suck fail and shit that the fourth quintile students create with their C student skills. I wouldnt ask my doctor whats wrong with my truck's transmission, i wouldnt ask my lawyer why my knee hurts in damp weather, and i wouldnt ask a physicist to keep me out of prison when the cops find a dead hooker stashed in my crawlspace. why the fuck do we ask the fuckwits and twats in the press to tell us whats important in the world every day?? I wouldnt count on chris mathews or glen beck to pump my gas for me, why the hell would i care what they think about anything more complex than ringing up a cup of coffee and a glazed doughnut? The tragic irony is, many of our society's under-performers are far more intelligent than members of the political class or the media circus acts. I can guarantee you that without the army of producers, writers, make-up experts, cameramen, lighting specialists and teleprompter typists, the trained monkeys who give you the news, and pass our laws would be as useless as tits on a mule. Most of em wouldnt even be able to manage at the menial jobs and minimum wage drudgery the rest of society's under-performers are shackled to.
