retards gunna retard. That fag sure got told

Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider.

The problem isn't that there aren't enough smart people it's that most are awkward as fuck.

Who even know this people??

and why they arent replying back?

a bunch of pussies is what /sci/ is.

I dont know anyone that believes so openly in creationism, NOT A SINGLE PERSON. In undergrad bio classes at my university they make fun of creationist in every opportunity

>>2501545

i'm pretty sure the problem is the massive amounts of ignorant fuckwads, like the girl in the facebook.

>>2501556
There are only two kinds of people catch the attention of everyone else, the stupid and the loud. Obviously that leads to the majority of people thinking that the majority of everyone else is stupid and obnoxious. You shouldn't base your views on the intelligence of most people simply by the people you notice the most. You pass hundreds of thousands of people in any given day, but it is only the stupidest and loudest that you notice.

>>2501584

so who's stupider the stupid loud people, or the massive hoards of people following them?

>>2501597
>missing the point
You seriously misread my post.

>>2501604

you're missing the point that the vast majority of people are incredibly stupid

>>2501503
ok, obviously the lady at the start of the vid was batshit, but is the whole argument of the video supposed to be "religion is wrong because science looks cooler"?

pfffffff if cats came from tigers than why are there still tigers pffffffffffff fuckin dumb noobs evulucion is ghay

>>2501621
my rage scale is off the charts and the fact that the stupid cunt has offspring makes it that much worse

>>2501665

no it does not

>>2501606
I find it mildly ironic that you claim that the majority of people are stupid when you yourself have yet to prove you are even capable of using proper sentence structure. Combined with the fact that your first reply (>>2501597) to my posts had nothing to do with the post of mine you linked to, I suppose your true method of argument is acting like an idiot to convince everyone in this thread that most people are idiots.

Sageing because I'm done with this thread tangent.

>this is why I love you

why is it that whenever people make a fool of themselves, someone has to say that bullshit line. Every fucking time.

>>2501621

WHAT THE FUCK

>>2501671
h8rS gon' hait

superior

>>2501621
What language is that? It looks like some substitution cipher, I might try statistical analysis later today.

>>2501668

listen man, that earlier post, when you said people only mnotice the stupidest people?

that argument is a fallacy.
I see stupid people all the time, and then I see a mass of followers backing them up. So how could the person noticed initially be the "stupidest" as you claim, when they have followers who must clearly be stupider than themselves.

>>2501674
yfw he is a student at yale

>>2501674
i don't get it.
Whats the significance of this picture?

>>2501683
it's humorous because he looks like a typical ignorant black male, but yet he has a delicious sagan quote..pretty simple shit bro

>>2501667
you're right we need more pieces of shit like her mom in the world

>>2501681
>Milgram experiment
People can be intelligent and still make poor decisions. Humans tend to follow the loudest person, and as long as the majority are following them, they wont question it.

>>2501690

glad you see it my way

>>2501688
"HURR DURR NEEGARS ARE DUM LOL"
/new/ is that way bro ---------->

...oh, wait

>>2501674
:3

>>2501688
oh. racism. I see thats still counted as humor on this board.

>>2501696

you're flopping your positions and mincing your own arguments.

you said "stupidest and loudest" referring to two separate groups of people. If you follow a stupid person, you are stupider than them.

>>2501699
>implying you werent surprised.

im not saying black people arent capable of doing science or appreciating it. But its just funny because he looks like the stereotypical ghetto black guy.

>>2501706
>you're flopping your positions and mincing your own arguments
I'm a different person to whom you were previously talking to.
I was just telling you that intelligent people can follow idiots and its nothing new.

>>2501696

If you think stupid and loud people are authority figures, then you're pretty fucking dumb, man, i mean seriously

>>2501703 That picture needs the subtitle "This is serious business".

>>2501710

thats only true for people following the president, what i was talking about is the everyday social structure of networks like facebook and small groups of workplace friends, etc.

>>2501711
Lets take your government for instance. I bet theres tons of people out there who think the government is full of idiots and yet they do what they say, including you.

>>2501711
stupid people also have guns. thats why they're the authority. You see, their lesser intelligence means that they are ignorant of the value of people's lives.

>>2501727
this is exactly what i was saying here>>2501720

it's true for the government(and to a lesser extent MSM) ONLY, not in everyday social groups

>>2501546
my entire family are creationists...

>>2501739
I think it applies to social groups. After all, the government is one big social system - it only works if everyone complies.

Though we may get older, our vocabulary and insights expand, we're still subject to our human behaviors. Civility is just a mask. I bet there were times when you've thought (and I'm assuming you're in college?) "how can these people be here? They act like they're still in highschool." Anyway, i'm getting off the point.

People will always follow the loudest person or the most fearless. Why do you think protesters chant everything the guy with the megaphone says? Why do people who go to boot camp get constantly bombarded with yelling that gives them instructions?
Why do women always win arguments? :p

Just a human trait

>>2501778

your opinion is really interesting and all...

but the science says it applies to authority figures, not ordinary social groups

>>2501797
Sure, but then this will lead to a debate about how humans define what an authority figure is.
And thats where perspectives differ.

>>2501791
I fucking swear.

Dogs "evolved" from wolves, but why are there still wolves.

>>2501826

no, it'll lead to a debate about where scientists defined authority figures in their experiments like Milgram, and it wasn't your neighbor or workmate

>>2501900

Dogs and modern wolves both came from a common ancestor, not from each other

>>2501928
i thought it was the wolves that were more docile and more likely to approach villages for food and what not, along with the docility came a series of changes that led them to start turning into pariah dogs and then being domesticated?

>>2501950

thats a valid theory. If that were the case then dogs were artificially selected and therefore evolved at a much faster rate than the wolves that were not domesticated, leading to rapid speciation.

>>2501950
The important part is "wolf" is a designation of a species (or group of species ?) of modern animals. The common ancestor of wolfs and dogs is not wolf, and it is not dog. It is a different species that existed in the past only.

>>2501972

adding onto my earlier post, technically the wolves we see today are different than the wolves thousands of years in the past, but they are much more similar than dogs because dogs have been selectively bred.

Give me his name, so I can pull a Hitler and eradicate anyone within 3 degrees of this pussy bitch.

>>2501999

>3 degrees of seperation
>death of thousands if not millions of people

overkill?

>>2502016
I think millions is a safe lower bound. Each person knows a hundred people at least, say, so that's 100 ^ 3 = 1,000,000 or a million.

>>2502026

yah probably but you have to account for overlap. Its still probably over a million though

I really hope this person is trolling

>>2502037

I live in America. He's not :(

read and dispair

>>2501791
What is this... I don't even.

Seriously, how can none of those people's friends jump in and dial down the derpocity?

>>2502048
I do too... I can still hope

More suicide fuel

and... *bang*

>>2502026
Then again, that assumes that the web of knowing is "independent", for want of a better term. It's possible that there are isolated pockets, like a city, so it might wrap heavily back in on itself.

>>2502063
>>2502074
Godamnit so much. I guess thanks for showing me this, but not really as I'm super pissed off right now.

>>2502074

>>2501503
fucking glorious

maybe a bit tactless, but shit, we can't go around being nice to everyone.

I want to have faith in humanity but as long as there is material to fuel these threads I never will.

I lost it a long, long time ago.

I literally want to cry reading some of this stuff.

this shit makes me rage so goddamn hard...

>>2501503
From the video:
>the Bible is one of the most advanced science books around

Yeah, too bad modern science came about 1,500 years after the last books of the Bible were written. Therefore, there literally cannot be any science in the Bible.

>>2502230

actually have you read the shit about the ark? some scientists tried to build it and it made a weird electrical device...ancient science ftw

>>2502264
capacitor.

>>2502264


no, the electrical device was an attempt by borderline scientists to try and prove that the Ark of the Covenant really existed and really had real "powers"


the REAL ancient archeological finds that people believe are electrochemical batteries have absolutely nothing to do with the bible, nor any of the locations discussed in the bible (at the same time as they were discussed in the bible)


people say: "here look at what these other guys did, maybe thats the same thing as the Ark, lets build a fake replica to get funding for a science channel show to pay our bills, because we clearly cannot get real work elsewhere"

>>2502264
>>2502281
