The internet allows people in small minority groups to gather virtually and speak loudly as one. Be they trans people or fucking idiots.
I think what surprised us all is just how many fucking idiots there are. I mean, before the internet, there was always one or maybe two in a social group the other’s needed to keep in check. They were dispersed somewhat evenly throughout society. But, now, they just find each other online and there’s no one nearby to watch over them, or tell them they’re stupid and to shut up.
We’ve gone from the village idiot, to villages of idiots, and now the gospel of idiocy praise unto the king of morons and his flock to punish the sinners of critical thought.
There really is no shortage of people who are incapable of thinking critically or that not every issue is black, white, left, or right to be solved with upvotes and likes.
And they all live happier more successful lives for it.
Common sense isn’t a thing. It’s a word you use to describe something you know without having to been told it, aka, your gut intuition. Turns out, that’s kinda different for everyone.
Exactly. “Common sense” is belief or intuition pretending to be reason. Typically invoked when someone does truly believe something is true, but doesn’t have information or arguments to back it up.
I think it’s tempting to imagine that we’re the smart ethical ones, and I certainly do my best not to be the person the meme is describing, but it always strikes me that for as much as I might think that about some others, I’m certain there are people out there who view me as just as ignorant, unethical, and stupid, just for very different reasons
The fact that you have those thoughts puts you ahead of the majority.
This was literally me one time that I was trying to convince a meth dealing biker gang to bring me in on their operation because their supplier was the serial murderer I’d spent the last 13 years hunting for who was the last surviving heir to a decades-old child sex cult ran by the governor and his brother in inland Louisiana
Everyone can relate to that!
I’m thinking with my one brain cell that this must be the plot of the movie the meme template came from, but I’m too lazy to check
It is the first season of True Detective.

Why is “some people have no inner voice” on the list with the rest of these? You don’t need an inner monologue to be intelligent or empathetic or dependable or anything else, some people just process information non-verbally.
My guess is they mean “a conscience,” but they used a terrible word choice. One doesn’t need an inner-monologue in order to have a conscience.
I’m still waiting for someone to define common sense for me.
