Why are many people here generally unintelligent or misinformed?

Watch them come out of the woodwork and defend themselves 😂

Based on whose standards? Are you comparing everyone to yourself?
Out of curiosity… what are they misinformed about? You are correct…. My knowledge of brain surgery is extremely limited.
Can you give me more info to work with?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

For example, an anon account claiming "the US lost every war since WW2"
It's historically inaccurate, and holds no logical baring (a superpower that loses everything?)

It's that sort of loaded political question that implies either a lack of intelligence or individuals who are deeply misinformed for likely political reasons.

Appears rampant here

[BadApple69]

Ok in a case like this there is a third possibility. It could be that the account holder has an agenda.
Now he (assumption on my part) could be a total idiot or uneducated on the subject but is easily disproven. First question, we fought the Germans AND the Japanese in WWII. If we lost why aren’t we speaking Japanese or German now? If they beat us wouldn’t they have taken over our oil rich country? Before WWII Japan bought oil from us and it takes a lot of oil to run a military.
I digress…. It’s my opinion that his agenda is to make America look like a failed nation. It seems to be global phenomenon. Look at all the Europeans that came to the U. S. for the World Cup. They were all amazed how wonderful the U. S. is…. Their home country media convinced them that the U. S. is dirty, lots of crime and a dangerous place to go. They all found out they were lied to.

@BadApple69 agreed completely.
It's an issue I knew about, but was surprised to find here.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

All they're being shown is L. A. and New York. I would agree that those areas have failed.

That sounds like Donald Trump supporters. I recently posted a question about how Donald Trump said windmills cause whale deaths and another user was telling me he didn’t say they.

Yes, he did say that. Also what he said isn’t supported by science at all.

How would you measure someone's intelligence from an online forum?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

I'm speaking generally about history or political issues

[RachyRach]

But maybe they've got an aptitude for Maths or science. Doesn't make them unintelligent does it?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Maybe I should have been specific.
Though there's plenty of nonsense questions on here 😂

[RachyRach]

That's true haha

[MrChinaski]

You can get a bead to +-15 IQ points, which to be fair is not much information at all.

[canamlusciouslad73]

They watch their political bent's echo chambers instead something which challenges their beliefs.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

You might be racist, but you are correct on that.

[FreyaRed]

Less intelligent people are entertaining without any intention. Just learn to enjoy their mental limitations.

[strateguy632]

They know they lied but hope to fool people who are not certain.

[Snakeyes7]

Because they will always exist as long as there are people smarter than them. This will never change no matter what anyone tries to do about it.

[Dargil]

At a minimum, Democrat-Socialists and their sympathizers.

[fishbone77]

Schools don't teach critical thinking any more. They just indoctrinate.

[NathanDavis]

that happens everywhere... that's just how things are and have been... for at least a decade

[MrChinaski]

Unintelligent because we are human. Misinformed because we don't give a fuck.

[Anonymous]

You mean why do they disagree with you?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

No Abby, disagreement is fine.
I'm speaking about those accounts that post bait.
Or, those that push propaganda and create echo chambers of the same nonsense.
You are sometimes part of that

[Anonymous]

the call is coming from inside the house

[tatbrat]

Probably everyone on at least a few subjects

[Anonymous]

Because they watch MSNBC and CNN

[Anonymous]

Why don't you tell us. Why are you here?

[jahaims]

Most humans are stupid
