I have grown increasingly amazed at the inability of so many to see trends that are so clear and obvious to us here.
I'm definitely claiming any kind of superior intelligence--I was a steady B- student throughout all of college. I agree 100% with the statement "I can't be smart enough for there to be so many people dumber than me!" (I can't remember who said that).
Yet, we have been brought to a new understanding of our reality in the past 2 years-- that the vast majority of people get their beliefs and understanding of the truths based on what they are told--not by what they see.
We have seen a number of mysterious vaccine deaths and injuries. Of course the vaxxed have seen and experienced it even more. Instead of gaining an immediate sense of concern and suspicion, they just consider what they've seen around them as a coincidence or bad luck until they hear CNN say otherwise.
The "believe what you are told, not what you see" group tends to lean left, but there is certainly no shortage of those on the right also--just look at Patriot.win.
How many "q proofs" convinced you Q was real?
After seeing one q proof, I thought "whatever". After 2 Q proofs I thought "interesting!" After seeing my third Q proof I thought "Wait a minute...is something going here? I'm going to pay close attention from now on to determine if these are just coincidences or if POTUS and the military are nodding "yes, it is real! yes, it is real." Sure enough, in a month of careful observation, I was 100% convinced it was real.
Yet, we all know other conservatives that have been exposed to dozens and dozens of q proofs, and it never intrigues their interest in the least.
Any how, this is my rant for the day. Anyone else feel the same?
I'm sure people who work with their hands have a better respect for physical principles.
Those who don't have to make things work may defer to 'experts' for the answer they want.
It only takes a couple minutes to look up what temperature jet fuel burns at vs the melting point of red iron. But when I mention that, all I get is a blank stare & the pancake effect.
I think for a normie, it's the implications that are the issue. If they accept the fire could not have demolished the twin towers, that only leaves the horrible realisation that the goverment would commit an atrocity for its own ends and absolutely does not represent the people.
For a normie, that's a loss of faith of religious proportions, they'll do any gymnastics to avoid that conclusion.
Exactly!
Likewise, for a 9/11 fanatic, the possibility that the collision, fire, and collapse were an inevitable physical sequence, is a loss of faith of religious proportions that they will do any gymnastics to avoid.
That's because iron or steel doesn't need to melt in order to lose its critical strength. The adiabatic flame temperature of kerosene (jet fuel) is 2093 deg C. Structural steel loses 70% of its room temperature strength at 600 deg C. Wrought iron, which is not used for building construction, has more resistance to temperature, but still loses 80% of its room temperature strength at 800 deg C. They are looking at you strangely because you don't know this. It makes the pancake effect inevitable.
