There are people out there - a lot of people - who thing he's smart. Humans are a failed evolutionary experiment.
Bruh, the US is still uncertain Trump won't be elected. The proven criminal and grifter is at risk of taking the country AGAIN. The brain rot is real in the US. Of course Shapiro is a savant to them
There are people who think Jordan 'Benzo Coma' Peterson's advice is worth listening to.
When you're less intelligent than the layer of algae on the lake, any moron with a room temp IQ seems intelligent. Which, incidentally, is why republicans are anti-education: when your constituents are stupid AF, they'll believe any dipshit claiming they want to make America great while they burn it down around their ears.
A friend (ex friend I guess since it's been two months) is constantly spouting the shit these types disseminate
My hot take .. This is what happens when someone doesn't learn to find their own answers. Too much of education is spoon feeding instead of having kids investigate shit they're interested in on their own, with guidance on critical thinking. It is better now than it was BaCk In mY DaY.
But I'm just sitting here contemplating my own brain journey. I learned far too late how to find my own answers and verify them for correctness. I tried to raise my kid from an early age to think for herself more by sometimes not verifying things for her but having her do that.
The other thing is learning how to apply the scientific method to something you care about--to some project, say. It really has an impact when you get an answer that goes against common sense and then you verify it and think really hard and it turns out your new theory is correct.
Imagine if education were set up with at least some portion of the day dedicated to satisfying curiosity in these ways...
Kind of makes me think once I retire I should set up some kind of summer camp program like this.
I have a friend who likes Ben Shapiro. He doesn't really follow any of his agenda, so it's not that bad. But if the topic comes up I just switch it asap.
