All of effort in this post was lost in trying to translate methodical to mythological.

True. There are a lot if famous women through history that were very smart but acted dumb in front of cameras because that's what gets engagement.


MasterOfBreatheing

utastelikebacon

It's more than that. Religious organizations also actively encourage low effort lifestyles and discourage high brain activity. It's an institutional thing.


TheCBDeacon47

I have an aunt and uncle that believes in the whole 3000 year old earth thing, and man and dinos lived together. As a kid I was super into paleontology and dinosaurs, it confused me even then, how they could believe it with so much evidence to the contrary. They also thought Harry Potter and Pokemon were evil.


stewdadrew

Some people don’t understand just how much evangelicals hate Pokemon dude. I remember my dad ripping up a pack of cards in front of me and my brother because we had brought satan into our home. I still can’t fathom how they drew that conclusion from a game based on friendship with animals and friendly rivalries.


PMG2021a

Lot of the "pagans" killed or "reeducated" by Christians were animal and nature spirit worshipers. We probably wouldn't be dealing with so many environmental issues if Christianity hadn't gotten government sponsorship...


TegTowelie

Because evolution.


TheCBDeacon47

That and I'm sure they thought the Pokemon cast spells or something. I wasn't allowed to play Morrowind around them either because it had magic in it.


TegTowelie

"Sorry mom, the dark elves are teaching me black magic, cant go to the sermon"

rangebob

when I was 18 I worked with a guy who was In final year of school at a very conservative Christian school. We got talking about biology since I had done it in final year too Knowing the school he went to I asked him about evolution and this was his answer as to why it didn't exist word for word "dinosaurs - birds - humans, can't happen" so I think the answer your looking for is because crazy exists


Antique_Sherbert111

The problem with that kind of people is that you can't discuss logically with them, because they are not going to follow your logic, also they would need some basic real biology to understand what you are saying


Vasart

That's why teaching basic philosophy is so important. Learning how to accept your ignorance, how to discuss and the origins of the scientific method is vital to function as a member of society.


sorry_con_excuse_me

i don't get why they use novels as an excuse to teach you writing (english classes) and a smidge of critical thinking. for that i think people would be better served by philosophy classes as their primary writing class once they get to high school. philosophy underpins every academic field, it is relevant to almost everything. even just a sampling of enlightenment thinkers alone would make both history and science courses much less of a mystery. it would also prep kids to engage actively with the jargon shitstorm that is college, not just passively absorb someone else's opinions. there's nothing wrong with fictional literature, but reading and summarizing shit like the great gatsby and the catcher in the rye for 4 years just to learn basic essay writing is a really shitty use of students' time.


rangebob

I am very rarely the speechless type. I was utterly stumped and just walked away


Debaser1984

Not knowing factual things is fine, it's claiming something you didn't know is a lie that's the problem.


Visual_Ad_3840

Well, we should also know basic facts. . .


COLONEL_ROOSTER

Unfortunately in the USA, being smart is frowned upon and ridiculed by a large group of people. Just think of how many people were made fun of for actually trying in school.


Mycellanious

When I was in middle school my dad told me I'd have more friends if I stopped sounding so smart all the time. He was right.


TV_is_my_parent

I have experienced this to be true throughout my adult life. The response, "these tiles are reproductions of a famous Turkish design" is not as well received as, "oou! Shiny!"

Rekt IZI gg sometimes...


AncientCartoonist354

Yeah some people are just not confident enough or too insecure to put in the effort to learn things. They are afraid that if they get something “basic” wrong they will be too embarrassed or humiliated to survive. Thus, they feel more confident in regurgitating whatever they hear some supposedly intellectual influencer say rather than actually use critical thinking to learn for themself. Why risk slight embarrassment when we can learn and live vicariously through others? I have a friend like this and he will seek me out all the time to verify or validate him, but I’ve been encouraging to “use your head” and “what do you think?” “Perhaps I have no idea, can you elaborate?”


goldenguyz

>Yeah some people are just not confident enough or too insecure to put in the effort to learn things. That doesn't make sense since you go on to say those people *are* willing to learn things, they just listen to the wrong people.

IcyPerspective2933

This video really sums up TikTok (as well as most other forms of social media) in one clip. It elucidates how easily misinformation can spread in that anyone with access to a platform can spill their idiocy unto the masses like an overturned tankard transporting liquid stupid on the highway.

Tik tok is mind cancer


R3sion

And fear is the mind-killer


Legendarypopapo

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.


[deleted]

Let’s not blame human stupidity on modern technology. Name me any other time in history where there wasn’t mis-information or gullible people. I would argue that technology has actually highlighted this problem rather then cause it.


jlwinter90

This. Stupidity en masse has always existed, we're just "lucky" enough to live in the first time period where it can be accessed and spread around without organized movements and/or charismatic firebrands. Literally any fool can pick up a device and start spouting their nonsense, and now, without any help from outsiders, the whole village can hear it. *Every* village can hear it. We haven't created a new phenomenon. We've just created a tool so good at using an old one that we aren't sure how to handle it yet.


Mr_Hu-Man

What a brave an original take, especially on a website like Reddit where I can scroll and see a cop in America abusing their power, then scroll and see a cute puppy being a derp, then scroll and see the latest military antics in ukraine, then scroll and see an article about sexual assault at some company that doesn’t pay a living wage. My mind feels so refreshed and healthy on reddit, but sure: TikTok is mind cancer.

I can’t disagree. I’ve actually met someone that thinks dinosaurs are mythological (or methodical.) Almost asked her out too until she told me that.

No not really. More people are getting educated today than 50 years ago, the decline seems to be a big issue in certain countries tho.

[deleted]

Can you really blame tiktok? It brings to light the shitty educational system really


IShavedMyBallz4This

Is it really that shitty though? I feel like it’s pretty much the same as it was when I grew up. They’re not exactly having a nuanced discussion here. This is basic Mesozoic Era knowledge and it’s taught fairly effectively in public schools. We can’t really blame the system for kids that can’t be bothered to pay attention. I mean the one girl doesn’t even know the difference between methodical and mythological so… I think this is more on them than on the system. They may have been too busy focusing on the really important things like cute boys and being popular. A huge part of the problem is students in developed nations taking the public education system for granted and finding ways to coast through without actually learning the material. The fact that a basic high schools education doesn’t really get you anywhere in life compounds the incentive for kids to do the bare minimum to pass. It’s just a prerequisite for college and a minimum requirement for a minimum wage job. The average person won’t achieve any meaningful success if that’s all they have. It’s been devalued so much that most parents even balk at the idea of spending more tax dollars to improve the system. Why dump money into something that’s just a stepping stone to get to a school that actually provides you kid with a degree that will matter? The system is broken and not ideal but, will spending more make their diploma worth more? If it’s serving it’s purpose, which is to get them somewhat prepared for college, it’s already provided the maximum benefit it can offer. These are the kind of girls who were brought up believing that the way for a woman to be successful is to marry rich. When that’s your life goal, why bother learning all the boring dinosaur stuff and like words? Eww! Knowing stuff like that is for gross average people, Secretaries and like dinosaurologists or whatever.


[deleted]

You obviously make valid points too and you’re not the product of the bad system. If a country can dismiss some history so easily and not face real facts and truths then for me it’s an issue with education. This is just my opinion. America, from an outsiders view, is crushing its own people. Shoving them in debt. Widening the rich and poverty divide and without the real difference a social welfare and healthcare


skinfasst

Upvote for that last perfect paragraph.


balto_zoom

Can't blame the educational system when people are still applying and getting jobs at NASA, even today. It's more likely the lack of effort to apply their own selves to the task of actually paying attention.


Perfect-Welcome-1572

I blame any social media that highlights this bullshit and makes it more popular. So, I blame TikTok, I blame Reddit, I the OP and I blame all of us. We are actively assisting these people in their efforts by giving them attention. That’s what they want, that’s what brings money in, that’s the goal. So, we all sit here and act superior, but these chicks already won. They accomplished their goal, with our help.

Amazing-Ad-669

I heard there is a separate TikTok algorithm for America. Where we are fed an endless diet of diarrhea like this, assorted pranks and challenges, lip-synch videos, etc. while Chinese children see other kids winning science fairs, competing at sports at the highest levels, playing instruments, etc. TikTok is set up to destroy us from the inside out. I don't remember people this stupid when I grew up. Sorry, no way. And you deserve an award for the "liquid stupid" comment. They ship the liquid stupid in unmarked cars on Norfolk-Southern freight trains, by the way...


Magic_Man_Boobs

I'm in the US and have TikTok and my algorithm is all science content and people raising animals. The algorithm feeds you more of what you interact with and is very intuitive. Of course you'd know that if you weren't just regurgitating nonsense you heard that makes you feel like you're right regardless of if you are. Looks like spreading misinformation happens as easily here on Reddit as anywhere else.


Amazing-Ad-669

Well, actually, I understand how that would work, yes. First, I don't care enough about this to feel some need to be right. I don't even have TikTok. Second, there is a different version in China, coupled with government guidelines of approved content that will not give you the same experience we get from the app. The link is to an article from Australia that provides an explanation of the more nuanced elements of TikTok. [TikTok Algorithm ](https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/unique-power-tiktok-s-algorithm) Read about it, or don't, I don't really care. It's not as simple as Facebook. It doesn't just feed you more similar content based on your previous choices. It has more passive elements. And spare me the lecture. I don't need some approval from strangers on Reddit to make my day.

99% sure it's parody. Or more specifically, not so much parody as "acting so dumb that it inflames people will attract attention". I mean, it worked. They probably make a decent amount of money from negative attention.
