BuzzFeed · GOP Representative's Intersex Blunder Goes ViralBy Michaela Bramwell

> Stupidity isn’t just a lack of #intelligence —it’s the refusal to think critically, and it’s everywhere. In this video, we dive into The Stupidity Epidemic, exploring why people ignore #facts, how #SocialMedia fuels #misinformation, and why Dietrich Bonhoeffer believed #stupidity is more dangerous than evil. From blind groupthink to misplaced confidence, we break down how #ignorance spreads, why it thrives in positions of power, and what we can do about it.

American Century Ended Gradually and then Suddenly RIP America the #Superpower. We are being attacked from win. The attack is as sweeping as it is sudden. All of the sources of our strength all of the engines of our growth R being systematically dismantled. Damage is being done as a result of a strategic plan #Project2025 + #VladimirPutin, nearly all of it is being substantially aggravated by the #ignorance and #recklessness of those implementing it. #trump #musk #gop davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/t

Need to Know by David Rothkopf · The American Century Ended Gradually and then SuddenlyBy David Rothkopf

@soatok I didn't know you when you published that one, but it's most excellent. I don't understand why it's on the bottom of your views.

The benevolence/kindness part against evil is a kind of super power. Bad people just don't get it to a point... And they don't get it even more why people will side with you for that.

(Then, I wanted to express something about feeling out of place in the world, and my brain was weaving threads between that post, your "doesn't matter" one, the recent most excellent post by @grimalkina social.treehouse.systems/@grim or in French when @uichelorraine describes her family or point out the common malovelence around her, or when @dysfun expressed lack of understanding when I explained how I try to manage my company and the values I try to put in that, or @RuthMalan all encompassing empathy, but it goes nowhere so the unknotting will be left as an exercise for the readers.
Perhaps it's just: you're all very good, kind, uncommon people, and life is complicated and I hope you will find ways to make it works for you)

Edward Ongweso Jr. graces us with a riveting tale on how #AI #skepticism is as deep as a #kiddie #pool 🌊, while the "useful idiots" bask in their comforting #ignorance 🤦‍♂️. It's a #groundbreaking #revelation that discussing AI's limits is as productive as debating the merits of #decaf #coffee ☕.
