Without re writing everything said above, I have to agree on just about all points here.Since the dawn of our species, we have always sought to be led. There was always a leader, a chief, usually one smarter and stronger than the rest. Does that make the tribe stupid for following ?
Stupid ? I don't think so considering we've survived this long especially through countless diseases and viruses and wars.
What we've lost in my opinion is the ability to critically think for ourselves..Sounds simple, but it's surprisingly absent in today's society. We depend far too much on someone else telling us what to do, when to do it, and how.
Some need that, they need to be led around by the nose. Less for them to worry about too. Others are natural born leaders, warriors, chiefs, CEO's, Presidents, world leaders, military men. They take charge, create paths forward, kick but t. They have an air of confidence around them that some lesser people would not.
We don't build that confidence into our young men and women anymore. Instead we fill them up with entitlement, victimhood, radicalization.
Stupid ? In some sense, yes. We just have a hard time learning from past mistakes and let history repeat itself.
I actually think most people are good, it's the few that make everyone else look bad.

I often ponder the comment that human beings are not rational animals; rather, they are capable of reason. Ignorance and emotion both operate to the detriment of reason.
Of course, there is also self-interest at play — to my mind one of the worst enemies to reason and goodness (absolute or relative).

When some run out of beer or whatever, they now have to go out and get more from the grocery stores.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I was complementing you and was just to lazy to include you as a recipient to my post. Sorry.
But your insight and statement was very wise. You probably would've aced that course. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

I met a girl a long time ago who was majoring in Psych and she too was saying it was making her look at people too deeply while socializing.
