I’ve been noticing a wild pattern lately, I couldn’t tell if it’s either a ragebait or not but every single one of them seems quite confident with their wrong answer… Well most of the time they’re likely schrodinger asshole.
Some people in most social media (whether it’s tiktok, instagram or youtube) always say the most stupidest thing in a comment section, and most of the time they spread misinformation and believed those misinformation without doing any proper research which made me concerned.
One time someone argued with me that intel management engine on 2008-2010 chipset has a “crazy spyware backdoor” and I explained to them that most 2008-2010 chipset lack network stacking in order to be a proper backdoor and since those older chipset lack network stacking physically and needed vPro edition of the chip for network stacking.
I did some research more on why they believed that information and I found a popular tiktok video that went across my feed a few months ago which contained misinformation and did not clarify the vPro part.
Someone even admitted in my comment section that they’re doing research on the tiktok search bar… tiktok search engine isn’t even reliable for researching!
I seriously think I should take a break from social media, because how come these type of people even exist without any instinct of researching properly? Have you encountered people like this too? Please tell me I’m not the only one whose encountering these type of people.
People are inherently stupid. It is an essential part of our species for a reason that’s clever by no merit of our own. That reason is because fitting into social structure takes precedent over everything else. Without it being the highest priority, we are exiled from the goup which historically has spelled death and the end of our family line.
Above all we are a social animal. Of all traits, it is the entirety of our strength and survivability as a species. We believe what we are told to believe by people we believe. That’s it. The adaptability of our world modeling systems is remarkable and the vast influx of environmental data is ambiguous at best.
From the moment you are pooped out onto the earth to the moment you sink into its chilly clutches, all of us, from the beginning of humankind, believe only what our socialization allows us to believe.
Except for the very few things you’ve objectively tested with rigor, everything you think you know falls within the category of second hand knowledge by trusting that certain people are telling you the truth.
Conversely, logical deduction, mathematics, statistics, etc., etc., are not natural to our instincts. They’re skills that must be learned.
So just remember that. You, me, and the vast sea of morons that cover this planet are inherently built for fucking, hunting for resources, and being an integral part of our in-group way beyond things like understanding long term cause and effect, objective analysis, or anything else that paints a somewhat clearer picture of reality.
