I've been finding out just how deplorable the educational system has been with finding out about the recent rise in the flat earth movement. The science, math, science, and logical thinking skills of these people is far worse than you can even imagine. Trying to have an intelligent discussion with these people is an incredible lesson in the dumbing down of education.
And the sad part is that the Dunning-Kruger effect is strong, making them believe they are smarter than everyone else. Thanks for the great article.
Thank you! I had a kid just out of high school come to work for me... This poor kid was actually terrified about global warming- convinced that we'd all be dead in ten years!
