One of the biggest problems in ALL these forums (and I've been in all of them at one point or another since 2015) is that we, as humans, are wired to be drawn to the scandalous (novel stimuli.) That can be great as far as alerting us to dangers in our environment, but it can be detrimental in the sense that we tend to ignore what we perceive as boring. This matters because the Globalists did not achieve their success by blatant bombshell maneuvers - They achieved their success through subtle and gradual implementations.
If we're going to raise the bar with posts we need to raise the bar in discerning what information is valuable as opposed to what information we find novelly stimulating. Anyone who researches knows it is terribly time-consuming - not only the research itself but assimilating it into an understandable written form. There are some very good researchers here - I know one who can educate on vaccines and one who knows the Vatican/monetary global system as well or better than any of the pundits out there. Thing is, they could write the best stuff ever, and here's what happens: They get several "tl;dr" responses and very few upvotes compared to a linked post that garners tons of up-votes. How long would you continue to invest your time for something that gets virtually ignored?
Basically, all the forums have become aggregates of links from various sources. That's great in that we can come here and get a very good, up-to-the-minute overview of what's happening, but it doesn't encourage original research. I'd like to see a flair or even a sticky for original research posts that sets them apart and gives them more visibility.
Just my thoughts. Thank you.
The problem with the people being lazy with information will never really be solved. The content of any forum will devolve to the lowest common denominator, which is usually memes and links to people who know how to write but may not know what they're talking about.
You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you can't explain it to someone in a way that they find engaging, you're spinning your wheels.
The answer is to find people that appreciate your work that can put tidbits of it into meme format or that can rewrite it in a way that users will enjoy the experience of reading an absorbing the information.
Your comment also gave me the idea for flairs. Possibly a really, really good one.
You've kind of described the dumbing-down of the public - Not everything can be explained in a meme or a tweet.
Also, the ability of memes to spread and inform shouldn't be underestimated. Not everyone has a 130+ IQ. But it's also not about that. Small, digestible tidbits of information can stick in someone's mind far easier than a long treatise on the subject.
Also, writing to an audience with a short attention span does not necessarily equate to the dumbing-down of the people.
I also mentioned writing it in a way that is palatable.
I didn't limit my comment to memes and tweets.
I'd wager I could rewrite just about any post on here to be more easily and willingly read than in its current form.
