Most people who are dumb do not realize that they are dumb.
(I use the word "dumb" here for possible need of a simple four letter terminology in case anyone dumb is reading this)
Dumb people usually think they know what they are talking about even when they don't. Hence the saying "Ignorance is bliss".
(Please note that I am not talking about relative intelligence here, but the actual limiting deficiency dumbness)
So how does one find out if they are dumb?
Here is a simple test:
Does the above photo meme make sense to you? Do you think it to be a valid position or argument?
If so, then you are dumb, too dumb to comprehend simple scientific and natural (and logical) processes.
Why are people dumb?
It isn't always a lack of education. Sometimes highly educated people are incredibly dumb.
Stupidity can be caused by a lack of education, a lack of experience (wisdom), bias, conditioning, belief, and even a steadfast adherence to one's own culture or group. There are many factors that can create the numbness of dumbness.
How did you do on this test?
Are you dumb?
Hi Laren! I have read a lot of your blog and really enjoy it. I have never seen the picture above in that way before. I do love oddities so I guess I would love to hear your reason on why we don't see any of those other transitions. Also I was curious if you would call them the same species with just slightly different variations or would you see them as actually different species? Thanks so much for getting me to think about new ideas.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be best to not call them anything and just understand that everything within a changing environment evolves. We aren't separate from the external world because of our skin. In fact, we are connected to the external world by our skin, and we adapt according to our relation to the external world.
