If only everyone in the world would watch and understand this...

Youtube Video

Reading "The Undercover Economist" is a good add-on to this video.

@Obsolesce I don’t know how many times I’ve said people cannot do fucking math

The problem is, emotions get in the way of calculating the math.

Which is so very contrary to how math works. Or science. But if global pandemic has taught us anything, it's how painfully stupid most people really are.

Oh, I'm sure you're right, it's showing that - but I think more so, it shows how they let emotions run their lives, not stats/math, etc.

Watching the second Kingsmen movie last night. Holy hell that was awful. I'm a big Colin Firth fan, but even he didn't save that train wreck. Nothing redeeming in that movie. Wasn't a fan of the first, but it wasn't bad. Way better than this.

Not me. It just justified what I've been saying all along.

Anyone qualified to handle that task is also smart enough to not. A better solution would be to cease celebrating stupidity and ignorance, and teach critical thinking with a focus on validated truth (not truth you need faith to trust) and science.

OK - Scott must be busy -

Scott has been saying for years that that is what the world needs - bowing the to public demand just ends up screwing us, and politicians doing it for their own gain, also screw us.
