“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” —George Carlin
“stupid people can’t comprehend that they are stupid and assume they are right about everything. I call it the Tard Paradox.”
“They don’t even have the intelligence to be embarrassed by their ignorance.”
“And they want their student debt forgiven? They should have to pay extra”
“These people can vote. Remember that.”
This is what Churchill meant when he said: “The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
“Sure, it’s funny as fuck. For a minute. Then I think that these are our children. This is our future. Some of the humor is lost with that realization. Then I understand fully that this was done purposely over the course of decades and with a singular goal. All humor is gone from me at that point. Then I accept that their goal is complete and they have won and humor ceases to exist.”
“Talking to dumb people, and they are everywhere, convinces me it is all useless and it is a miracle we havent blown up the planet.”
“These people are the only reason I’m sort of ok with massive doom.”

At the other end of the scale, I’m not actually sure if anyone has yet been able to comprehend the Fl0ating C0ffer The0ry.
Typically, I get “But, stone doesn’t float…”
Where do polymath engineers familiar with eschatology/catastrophism hang out?
Tell them a chunk of steel doesn’t float either but in the hollow shape of a boat it does. Damn few polymath/engineer-eschatologists-catastrophists in the world, I doubt there’s enough within a one hour radius of anywhere to form a group in the real world. The blogs and forums you’re already on might be it.
Those who say “But, stone doesn’t float” are way too far behind to be worth educating wrt Archimedes. Steel ships and concrete barges just rub it in. :-/
