Lol. Are the majority of people as dumb as they seem?
I'm continually amazed at how well propaganda works on people and how easily they'll go against their best interests.
Voting seems to be just a battle of propoganda to sway dumb people instead of two sides presenting scientific evidence to back their views and people actively working to make things better with rigorous scientific method.
Maybe I'm naieve but it seems humanity will keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again until we run government scientifically with peer review.
- DrScump 10y agoAre the majority of people as dumb as they seem? In fact, almost half of them have below-average intelligence. But seriously, media-managed perceptions have a lot of effect. Most Americans have low approval ratings of Congress in general but much higher approval of their individual Congressmember.
- nickthemagicman 10y agoYeah but isn't insane how politics and government is just a media managed propoganda battle? These people running our entire society have absolutely no scientific methodology for determining their policies. It's all just propaganda and some politician on a commercial making a bunch of promises. It's so insane to me. I wouldn't go to a doctor who had really good commercials, I would want to see their success results,and I want to know and what is going on with my treatment at all times, and see how successful the treatment is, etc.etc.. Yet this is how we elect people to run the entire country??
