They pass by submission to authority (plea to authority, logical fallacy) and wrote memory. Few pass with original thought or insightful intellect.
Across the entire IQ spectrum roughly 20% of the population are even capable of original thought. IQ alone doesn't provide that.
This is true, but it is also true for reasons that we don't discuss here often. You cannot expect everyone to nerd over this stuff like we do. First, this stuff is boring. Well, it's not, it's dramatic when you really dig in but it takes a long time to get to the juicy stuff and hook into it. Second, people have their own lives to lead and they all have specialties to pursue.
There is a real economic reason why I delegate accounting to accountants, plubming to plumbers and so forth.
What happens with politics for most people is that it is presented like a giant brick of stuff. It has a shape, but it isn't interesting, you don't know where it fits and what to do with it and you don't know how to break it down, nor do you have interest in doing that.
So people just kind of leave that psychologically aside, it gets boiled down to some digestible bullshit 10 minute thing on the news and then they watch a bit take care of their kids and go to sleep.
I mean, if you think about it as an editor, how do you even make this shit interesting to people? None of the people involved are good looking because politics is just hollywood for ugly people, so you can't even enjoy watching any of this shit. You have to chop this up into a thousand little bits and extract the interesting and dramatic stuff, but the news already does that and they give people just the bits they already agree with so it is digestible.
It can be done, but we aren't doing it. And a regular user doesn't come home from work wanting to do homework and research.
The best our side has is Alex Jones in terms of production values. The next best thing is Poal and look at the low iq faggots around here that sit around and cannot elevate even a basic conversation above 'hey faggot'.
My self included.
I mean, if everyone could just do 20 minutes per day we would be way ahead, but the economics of the situation work against that.
Hey niggerfaggot. How's that for elevation?
People naturally pay attention to things that are a threat, or make them fearful. That's the problem. Because no open minded research was done previously, they take the easy way, i.e. put on the mask and try not to be noticed, hoping it would pass, and dig in their heels on their ideas out of panic. People are generally intellectually lazy. They would rather post, comment or read twitter or tiktok for validation even when they are in a respected profession. How many people join medicine for altruistic reasons? Most are lab nerds who want money and aren't willing to do the ass kissing the pursuit of grant money entails. They usually won't do anything against the flow unless it's underhanded, or they are the point man on the team. They give the shots even knowing it's bullshit. They drown patients in chemo knowing it's bullshit. Think about that.
That is an astute analysis.
In on paragraph you kind of pulled out the one thread that is interesting to people: things things that are a threat.
Are we missing the golden opportunity on our side?
Your post made me think about why I spend time on this stuff. I guess the hook for me is the identification of the threats to our (my) existence.
If we were to start re-branding and re-packaging our signalling and messaging. How would you do it?
Just curious, your insight is amazing.
wrote memory
Rote.
That's not how they remembered it ok?
Yep it's a personality trait. It's more around 10-15% question authority and direct their own learning. Would explain the reason around 3% of Patriots wanted to kick England's butt and the rest either were against the war, or didn't want to get involved. Sound familiar?
Midwits.

Not sure that's fair. As it presumes they have the intellect to argue and the capacity, while in conflict with their instructors, and that they have the knowledge to do so while in an institution intended to provide that knowledge.
Combine that with the small percentage who actually have the ability to question, it's not surprising things look like they do.
Doctors are just people. Few are even intellectually capable of questioning institutionalized knowledge. If they did, how long would they last?
Well it doesn’t help that the only people who actually question the things around them make up a small percentage of the population, and then a large percentage of that small population are completely nuts. Like, over the cliff nuts. And they pride themselves on questioning everything but don’t question, at all, the sources that they instinctively trust because they tell them what they want to hear. So average ordinary people who might be open to the possibility that they’re being lied to by politicians, the media, pharmaceutical companies, etc., encounter some of these nut jobs and immediately associate the rest of the “questioning“ population with those crazy paranoid schizophrenics who think they are getting secret messages from movies and think that politicians are holograms or that cloning a fully formed elderly adult is possible, etc.
Just because people who question things are right on a number of topics doesn’t mean they are right on all of them and the media does an excellent job of amplifying the morons. Ever notice that when they put someone on TV to speak out against vaccines, they pick the dumbest motherfucker possible?
I mean someone who literally has no basic understanding of virology, biology or epidemiology, up against a trained physician or researcher and it’s a bloodbath and it makes the rest of us look like fucking idiots. The media knows exactly what it’s doing.
I mean I see some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever read posted here as news and I am inclined to trust the population here much more than I trust the general population but even here I see tons of terrible information spread daily. Someone who is curious spent 10 minutes looking at what “conspiracy retards“ have to say on any issue and they’re going to see some of the dumbest fucking shit they’ve ever read. And they’re not going to see people around them questioning it. You question the dumb shit thatgets posted on great awakening, for example, and they kick you out. They have no self-awareness, no self reflection, they are unable to examine the information presented to them except to immediately absorb it into their collective as fact. Ifyou dare to even question, slightly, the narrative that they have created and they ban you.
I mean we brought this on ourselves because we allowed complete nut jobs to speak for us. Idiots, imbeciles, retards, faggots and morons who have no idea what they’re talking about, repeatedly post false information, spread bad data, and then wonder why no one believes them.
