People are just functionally retarded. (bigthink.com)
One of the most surprising findings was that only 14 percent of American students were able to reliably distinguish fact from opinion in reading tests. For example, one exercise asked students to read two pieces of writing: a news article covering scientific research on milk, and a report from the International Dairy Foods Association. The students were then presented various statements about milk, and asked to judge whether they're reading fact or opinion. For example:
"Drinking milk is the best way to lose weight."
Most American students were unable to tell that statements like this represent opinion, not fact. Why? One major factor is technology, the report said.
"In the past, students could find clear and singular answers to their questions in carefully curated and government-approved textbooks, and they could trust those answers to be true. Today, they will find hundreds of thousands of answers to their questions online, and it is up to them to figure out what is true and what is false, what is right and what is wrong," the report said. "Reading is no longer mainly about extracting information; it is about constructing knowledge, thinking critically and making well-founded judgements."
So just think about the implications of that and make a well founded judgement.
Good God America is fucked. The kikes set us up decades ago, and I think what's been sewn will soon be reaped. Just like the twin towers and soviet union, they're gonna knock out America like a controlled demolition. Complete and thorough destruction
