Popular Post caeron Posted May 4, 2020 Popular Post Posted May 4, 2020 The Death of Expertise Is an article on PBS that speaks to what I think is one of the most dangerous phenomenons in our contemporary life. The Internet has empowered everybody to be able to express an opinion, so now vast swaths of the world want to replace actual knowledge with their fact free opinions. Moron culture thrives cause everybody is entitled to their opinion, right? Never mind that people think the right to that opinion means they have the right to be respected for whatever idiocy they've espoused. Being locked in the house all day watching so many of my fellow Americans demonstrate their stunning idiocy has not been that good for my mental health.

Members trencherman Posted May 5, 2020 Members Posted May 5, 2020 I really watch myself now when clicking to clips on Youtube in order not to be flooded with suggestions I will never watch till the end of my life. Clips of overeating, restoring found garbage, manic preaching of religious beliefs, Bollywood type entertainment, etc. It use to be that ads for enlarging your genitalia was so ever discreetly emailed to you, now they are all blared out in the open.
