(2,571 posts)hyperbole, but when you pass on completely un-vetted marketing as fact to an impressionable public devoid of research or analytical skills there is an implied responsibility. A public, incidentally, who constantly strive to form opinions around why we live in a cultural wasteland, why nothing makes sense, and how we have lost our way. Very impressionable indeed, but fodder for the propaganda that an agenda needs to grow and thrive.
I fear critical thinking becomes the new Neanderthal, hiding in caves, preserving it's DNA, waiting for the next Ice Age and hoping their warmer climate cousins just go the way of the dodo so they can get back to the very serious business of building a civil society based in rational thought instead of rationalizations.
They exist, quietly and calmly waiting for the end of irrationality. Generally poolside.
This graph has been clearly debunked as selection bias, and no I won't provide the link. Shame on you who took it at face. It's why your children will someday work for mine.
