They love masking. They love forcing masking. They love vaccines, they love forcing vaccines.
They love news of new deadly variants. They become angry for words of hope.
The only time I've seen these people angry with Biden was when he declared Covid to be over.
Really, why do you think they so eagerly embrace something so negative?
I have a close friend. Undergrad Mechanical Engineering Degree, plus an Engineering Management and and MBA from a top 5 school in the US. He is brilliant, but totally bought in to the Covid narrative. He still avoids social situations and tests himself every time he goes to a group setting. Fully vaxxed and will only associate with others who are the same. Me, unvaxxed. I've had Covid and have antibodies confirmed by test. I don't worry about Covid. My friend, still lies in mortal fear of Covid. How is it that such smart people have become so stupid?
They aren't smart. They are credentialed.
As a former college instructor, I can tell you that folks with a limited ability to actually learn, compensate with their ability to MEMORIZE (short term) to pass tests and advance. A couple of the DUMBEST students I worked with graduated Summa Cum Laude..
Kind of explains Hollyweird too, doesn't it.
Yup, repeaters. Corporations love them, because they are rubber stamped bots.
what's "smart"? many that we as a society tend to talk of as smart have great recall abilities. in other words, a great ability to regurgitate what someone told you, whether truthful or not. I'm not saying you or I are smarter, instead that he may not be any smarter than me or you. If I were to define intelligence though, critical thinking ability would be high on my list of requirements. sounds like your friend might lack this ability
Intelligence is the ability to learn and comprehend. The deep understanding of a topic is what truly matters. That can be faked by rote memorization in many fields of study.
Critical thinking thinking is a different skill entirely. We used to call "educated" people that had no common sense "book smart" to describe this same thing. They were able to regurgitate the things they had memorized, but in every other way they usually acted like complete idiots.
Current education is highly overrated. Hands-on knowledge and experience, which truly demonstrates both comprehension and the ability to put it into practical use, is what really matters in just about everything.
It's so sad, really. I have a friend who's about to get his PhD from an Ivy League school. He's an extremely intelligent and competent person, but he's liberal and has totally bought into the Covid lie. He gets every booster and even got the monkey pox vaccine. He never goes anywhere without a mask and is constantly worried about getting sick. I just don't understand how someone so smart can think this way, but that's the power of the fear machine. And most liberal people listen to the mainstream news, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, etc. It's all they hear all day.
