I’m not talking about people going to work and doing their jobs. I’m talking about the truly intelligent that figure out new solutions to problems. That invent new methods.
The point I’m making is that most humans throughout history have not been particularly intelligent. We see examples of this all around us, all the time. It’s a small percentage of truly intelligent individuals that have pushed us forward so we’re not just a bunch of hardworking hunter gatherers.
What we have in our modern moment is a very small percentage of nefarious people
A majority of voting Americans just voted for a felon rapist who illegally attempted to overturn an election. Add a TON of people so unintelligent they didn’t even exercise their right to vote. That’s not a small percentage. That’s a significant percentage of nefarious/ignorant humans. Those people don’t get a pass because some bad actors are spreading misinformation. I received a public education and I’m not ignorant enough to fall for propaganda. Resisting propaganda is an individual’s responsibility. Especially now that all human knowledge is freely available. Ignorance isn’t an excuse anymore.
Or you could ask them if they know what DEI stands for.
Spoiler Alert: They don’t.
They love hating acronyms and nicknames repeated by their media sources that they know literally nothing about.
