Thank you, this is illuminating, and just a little scary, as we seem to be surrounded by sub-90 IQ folks. They breed a lot, they vote sometimes, they eat and take up space. I'm not a eugenicist by any means, and believe all humans are guests of God on this earth, and I should treat the as such. But then again, I go to great lengths to avoid them when I can.
I have a brother-in-law who is low IQ. He is Hispanic, which is relevant in that the term "what happened?" is a common question in general conversation Spanish translation, "que pasa" An example of a conversation with him is as follows:
"Hey man. I heard you got a job."
"Uh? Job? Oh. Uh? I got a job?"
" That's what I heard, yes."
"Wha happen? Job? I got a job? Oh. Oh yeah. I got a job, uh huh."
** end of conversation **
Now it makes so much more sense. You can almost hear the gears grinding as his mind tries to process what is happening. He has had my wife handle basic paperwork that is too complex for him to process -- like job applications, which was always maddening to me.
Incidentally, the resultant jobs have included bed pan specialist, and currently "security guard." (shudder) I can't imagine my BIL standing up to ANY form of resistance or threat . . . So beware - 'they' are everywhere!
Currently working security, and the people, if you can call them that, that they send to fill in a slot... hooooooooly shit, there are some stupid people out there. Just today, one of our guys is on vacation. I showed the guy where the bathroom is, and he still got lost a little later. I showed him where the locker room is, and he still got lost a little later.
You're right about the literal translation, but having spent 2 years in Panama, I know it also has a sense of "what's going on?" Or whats happening? It can be used in both contexts.
Agreed. I often hear it being misused, where "excuse me?", " I beg your pardon" or ""I didn't hear you - would you please repeat what you just said."
It just seems to demonstrate mental laziness, more often than not.
Of course, every cultural group has their own such terms. I suspect that it's the low-IQ folks who use them the most, either due to said laziness or just an inability to formulate complete sentences.
Maybe we need to take some pages out of their playbook and stop concerning ourselves with variables we can't control and just live a little in the moment.
I mean the only sensible prep for the future is survival gear. The rest is banked on the status quo maintaining itself, which is moronic because even the concept of the status quo is a lie. The status quo is based on consistency, which the human experience is anything but. In 24 hours the cells in your body have changed. Our entire society is built on the lies of consistency when in reality the human spirit is more fluid and diverse... The society is engineered to keep us dumb. Our "education" has been the same since post industrial 1800s. It trains us to function on their evil system. Yet the true breakouts of society are always the ones who go AGAINST the system. You think Elon owns Twatter cause he played by the rules?
My point is, this low IQ population is a symptom of our bullshit system. Yes, they still need to be held responsible for their actions, however the answer is not to other ourselves from them, but to figure out a way forward, to ensure their children will grow up smarter. That should be one of our GAW goals.
I think you're about 97% right about that, but it's also possible that we as a species seek homeostasis (consistency) to enable us to not go mad. Certainly I have prepped quite a bit for shtf scenarios, but I also hope I never have to use them.

The security guard for my company at one point was a 90 pound introverted 20 year old girl who was afraid to look at anyone.

Perhaps a healthy balance is the answer. Some routine mixed with mostly spontaneity... In the end we have to find our own balance.
But yeah, 100% regulation routine or 100% spontaneous are not the answers...
