It seems that you don't agree with my contention that it is best to ignore stupid people.

Fair enough. It took me a long time to realise that arguing with stupid people is wasteful and self-defeating (i.e doing what they want you to do).

You are right about the connection of stupidity to 'education'. Some of the most highly educated people are very stupid; while some of the lesser educated are far from stupid.

Stupidity is not an intellectual defect, but a moral one. Stupidity is acquired, not congenital. There is no defence against stupidity. Stupidity is more dangerous than deliberate evil. Avoiding stupid people altogether is the only way to go. You probably do that in real life; you can also do it online, and feel much better about yourself for doing so. Cheers.

So ignorance is bliss?

And, presenting facts and evidence is "stupid?" Better to
deal with hypotheticals, fear-mongering, conjecture, and
personal biases?

Kudos!

Indyvidual,

"The existence of a massive, contented low-information population is the ruling class’s supreme weapon."

A 'low-information population' is a polite metaphor for 'stupid population'.

Ask anyone in the street about digital currencies, social credit, personal data harvesting, fifteen-minute cities, the war on cash, the pandemic planning industry, the World Economic Forum and digital ID, and you are likely to get one of two responses:

'What'? or,
'Conspiracy theorist'!

In the meantime Albanese's threats to liberal values (including the the Voice) can be challenged if we wish to get up and do it. If the polls are to be believed, that seems to be happening,

The future course of history is never inevitable.

Thousands turn up for the Voice YES rallies all over
Australia.

What's to be done?
We have a government determined to entrench racism in the constitution.
It seeks to allow advantage for those of a different race?
That one fact alone should be sufficient for the proposition to be rejected.
All governmnets can and do already listen to the concerns of ALL citizens?
That is one of its many functions?
If they are not doing so, it is time to line up at the door of electorate offices?

I must comment on another 'sleight of hand' technique being used by supporters.
After we are born, we have passed on to us knowledge and infrastructure from previous generations.
This 'handing on' is short lived.
It is confined to the immediate needs of life, and to generations which are alive now.
It is not supervised by long dead persons.
It doesn't stretch over hundreds of generations.
A great grandmother from a thousand years ago is not here today handing us the necessities of life.

It seems to me people are tying themselves up in mental knots by believing so.
They are treating long dead generations as if they were alive today.
But they are not alive today.
They came and went.
The concept that we cannot touch or move that piece of rock because they might have looked at it, or sat on it, or painted something on it, etc, is absurd.
Rock is just rock. Sand is just sand. Trees are just trees.
You cannot imbue materials with some special or significant quality just by saying so.
Ask any ant or wallaby.

We need to use our resources wisely, not stand and look at them.
And how dare you use that water.
They might have drunk it or bathed in it or passed it.
Think of the latter the next time you are thirsty?
Hasn't this nonsense gone just a bit too far?
Let the dead stay dead.
Pretending otherwise is a ploy which works on some.
So it it being wielded like a scythe by those who have evil intent.
