Capable but did not. Barely enough time to read n meme, much less make vids. So old I forgot where I picked it up. Hell may be here for all I know. I would have given credit if I knew. Yes it is good that is why I kept it. Explains them perfectly and that is why it triggers them.
People have LOT of attachments to concepts, thoughts and emotions. This is the main reason why. That includes most people even on this forum. Opinions are formed based on what we hear and see. We then attach ourselves to those opinions and they become "IMO". We don't want to hear alternatives. We come up with our own reasons to defy anything (even if new proven evidences) that oppose those opinions. The classic cognitive dissonance.
I went to a lady's house to answer a craigslist ad. After talking for a while and having nice conversations when it came to our jobs, told her I got fired because I refused the jab. She was surprised and asked why I didn't take the jab. Told her I heard bad things about it and I didn't think I needed it. She argued those are all false claims and insisted I need to take the jabs. She said why would doctors give bad things to people and that she was taking 2-3 shots every year! Nice lady, even sharp too, but the attachment to the belief that ALL doctors are good is so strong in her and the shots are protecting her from severe covid attacks - she admitted she still gets covid a few times a year but said paxlovid cures that in 3-4 days). I wasn't there to argue or change her mind as I wasn't prepared for those types of dialogs, besides she seemed pretty stubborn, so got the hell out of there after a few mins.
Thanks to the internet and the speed at which computers and technology have progressed, 'evidence' is basically 'what this person I happen to like said."
The arguments end up "That doesn't count because I don't want it to" or "I'm gonna call your source mean names until you give up and I declare myself winner"
well one thought which could sidestep the heated debate is because they didn't/don't know (by now they should, but I digress). "Doctors are people, too," would be one foot in the door...
I understand why you didn't push the issue, but it's a thought of course.
It's so easy to begin with that, stand on that, and watch your opponent devolve on their own as you remain standing there. Then you can just move on as they destroy themselves.
Logic isn’t taught, logic isn’t considered… see how far down a line of thought you can get with some people these days just by asking “why?” or “how?”
The sense and logic will begin to disappear the further down the line of reasoning you get from just asking “but why?”
using the “why” technique has actually gotten people to end up proving my own point before hitting a cognitive dead end and telling me they’re done talking. lmao
Exactly! I've asked many what did Trump do that makes you hate him, I usually get a dumb look on their face or maybe "mean tweets"............they rant but can't even say what he'd done that makes them hate him..............DUMBED DOWN!
Took a moment and tried to imagine what it would be like to not be able to think logically, and alternately, to subscribe 100% to slogans and emotion, and I don't think it was a successful exercise.
It's no wonder people are caught in a cycle of bad decision after bad decision. They're unable to recognize or analyze where things are headed in their own lives and more broadly.
because dad is letting them put their hand on the stove and get burned, but a lot of them are no longer bright enough to know where the pain is coming from.
People are told orange man is bad and to hate him, but they don't know why (besides mean tweets).
Show them this and stand back about 4 ft.

That was pretty great!
Did you make that video?

That shit is hilarious 😆

Getting information from the internet is like drinking from a fire hose. We all get a few drops here and there.
off-topic anecdote;
misread your post as thought just said hose, and immediately thought of a garden hose. reread and caught what i missed.
one train of thought later, and I'm thinking "I wonder how far a person standing on a firehose would get launched when the water was turned on...🤔"
The internet is also used by people to learn about themselves. I've changed for the better thanks to the internet.
Just think about how much good Jordan Peterson was able to do thanks to the internet.

Poor woman, though...
But WHY do they?
Because critical thinking is not taught in schools anymore.
I took classes in logic and philosophy, and read books, and learned how to think critically.
Most poeple today have not, and so they don't know how to analyze information. They just accept "expert opinion" because they have no other option.
This has been done by design.
Exactly my point: she has never thought about questioning whether the "expert" really knows what he is talking about.
That's why psychology is the most important subject to research.
Logic and reason first.
It's so easy to begin with that, stand on that, and watch your opponent devolve on their own as you remain standing there. Then you can just move on as they destroy themselves.

Liberalism and Logic cannot occupy the same and time.

No wonder parents are great critical thinkers. I'm a 7th level "why" person thanks to my kids passing through their 4 year old years!

Case in point. When's the last time you heard of a school having a debate club?
He's right, but here's some reasoning:
You try to using logic and reason to explain to someone how
and yet they still support the same fucking people every time.
At some point you just have to say FUCK YOU and prep for the inevitable social unrest and violence to come.
The fluoride effect.
...the root cause of so many ills
I always appreciate Mr Sowell's insights.

They prefer safety to freedom, freedom is scary.

This is why waiting for them to wake up is folly. They are brain dead, almost literally.
