Agreed.

Most people have perfectly functional brains—they just refuse to use them. That’s what makes them stupid, sometimes to the point of madness.

The internet only makes it worse, drowning them in untested nonsense that props up their half-baked beliefs. They’d rather cling to bad answers than admit they don’t know.

Certainty, even when false, feels safer than doubt.

Someone said: ‘People insist on their ‘freedom of speech’. But it only matters if they have freedom of thought...(which they never use)’

In my state (CT) 97% of folks over age 65 took the jab.

I was one of the 3%.

Fighting state propaganda is a tough battle.

It’s easier to share a meme that sounds good to you or signals your virtue than verify whether it is true.
