People use logical fallacies like buzzwords these days without actually understanding them.

We can win people back only by helping them realize the side they're on is ridiculous and uninformed.
But it has to be done right... Maybe some people are beyond convincing...
We need innovation to be on our side.

The Idiocracy is something the ruling class *wants* and actively tries to create.
They want oblivious servants to tend to their needs, sounds crazy, but that's something the modern internet can do...

But there are ways to fight back.

But there are ways to do this with modern technology, and I'm trying to figure out a way.

Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine all the people...
sharing cognitive architectures
instead of just
shouting conclusions at each other...
I wonder if you can...

It makes science too fractured even when all the right connections exist to make the right conclusions, they are disagreed upon because people have fractured ideas and ways they reached their conclusions.

The scientific community is falling down because there are too many people making these claims, and not enough people fact checking and rebuting, or if there are they go unnoticed because often what rises to the top is sensationalism.

But people believe them because it comes from an authority - "it's science"
But that's just one small part of it...

And Universities are full of these half-assed paper pusher "scientists" and "researchers" who do not ask the right questions, or enough question, but are confident in the results, even though there are gaping flaws or missing data in the logic.

First of all they are purposefully written too long and drively, of course I do understand the need for percision etc, but!
Human brains are usually not well equipped to deal with it.
writing a paper =/= you are a proper scientist. Papers are way too often marketed as conclusive when they are not.

If they don't find a decent opposing view to it to correct the bullshit, they might start to slowly believe it...
Scientific papers are a nightmare because science is in large parts broken.
Let me explain...

It starts small at first, mixing in some flawed studies about gender politics, even if they notice, they respect you enough that they go along with listening,
even if they might be sceptical, even if they disagree at first...

Especially if you build credibility by actually saying some things that are wise enough. But then they start poisoning that wisdom little by little, adding propaganda that people won't bother to fact-check.

Wisdom by Slavoj Ε½iΕΎek:
Wisdom is the most conformist thing you can imagine. You know that whatever you do, a wise man will come and justify it.

This is how they justify it, anything can sound wise if the right words are used

They start believing that what they hear in the pipeline's echochamber is "based" in logic and data, but the pipeline tries its best to hide other angles of data from them.
Voila - #faux-intellectualism

People don't thoroughly fact check and attack a new idea they see from angles they don't see, that's why they use circular reasoning and bait to hide that there are valid rebuttals.

Eventually they start seeing other far right politicians like Jordan Peterson, et al podcasters/public speakers

They start seeing normal videos of kirk because the algorithm doesn't care about sides. They start seeing the skewed cherrypicked politics without any rebuttal.

Which results in their bubble's way of influencing weak-minded people into seeing their propaganda as more and more agreeable.

Yes, there are lots of memes making fun of him, but they use memecoins to pay for theirs

What they really mean is that we are losing the meme wars which they have thought through more thoroughly, "kirked" memes can be looked at in 2 ways for example:

The far right turns memes to their favour, any meme you can think of will be tried to weaponize against the left. That's why they say bullshit like "the left can't meme"

I think we need to be more thorough about how we fight back to the faux-intellectualism that the far right pipeline perpetuates constantly...

Wilder Mann | Charles FrΓ©ger For two years in 2010 and 2011, Charles FrΓ©ger criss-crossed Europe from north to south, from Finland to Portugal, passing through Romania, Germany and Slovenia, in search of the figure of the savage as it survives in local popular traditions. These images, like archetypes, half-man half-beast, animal or vegetable, resurface from the depths of time

I am speechless. How lousy are Halloween costumes compared to this. Estonian traditional mardipΓ€ev and kadripΓ€ev costumes are no worse than this though. Costumes by #Sunn O)))'s Attila Csihar are also reminded.
