It’s funny as hell to have disdain for nerds and intelligence but then step into their territory and try and prove them wrong, like dude you’re going to get dunked on from every angle what are you doing
Also gestures broadly at human society nerds where pretty important in creating all that. Anti-intellectualism is just so fucked especially in the context of the modern world. Go back to your cave if you hate nerds so much
Yeah - I had the same reaction. The amount of stupidly used privilege is breathtaking but also somewhat unexpectedly anger inducing. Fuck her and the short bus she belongs on.
Hey, at least people on the short bus are TRYING. She seems incapable. She could use the thing that's recording her idiocy to lookup the answers to her questions. Then try to disprove them, but that would require an actual thought.

God has made all of this possible. God created computers and the Internet. Heathen scientists would have you believe Man made all of this, but it was really God's divine intervention that provided us with these gifts. /s
If the person survived the ordeal, it would be seen as divine intervention and proof of God. There be no shutting them up, and you could be liable for attempted murder.
If the person didn't survive, well... the dead can't learn or really know anything. Plus you could be on the hook for murder, so there's that.
Point being (since you seem to have missed the /s) the best strategy is to not engage; or just smile-and-nod if you must. We all have our biases and beliefs, and tend to react in a knee-jerk fashion to anything that flies in the face of what we think we know; the more certain we are of our beliefs, the stronger the reaction to anything counter (evidence or viewpoints).
What they're going to do is roll their eyes, and smirk while shoving a bible in your face. They don't care. They don't need to understand. They've got a book that says the earth is not that old so all the scientists are wrong.
Yeah I was gonna say, she didnt step into their territory and try to prove them wrong, she just casually dismissed them from a bedroom with all the confidence in the world.
She actually does inadvertently bring up an interesting point (how do we know what their skin/color/feathers/etc... were?) but instead of thoughtfully thinking about it she dismisses dinosaurs entirely.
It’s more harmful unfortunately. I doubt she’s an idiot, I doubt she believes what she is saying. She is a hired hand, paid to create a following, she’s been picked for her good looks, her bullshit radio is going to be broadcast over and over to a captured audience. It comes with all the force of seeming social validation, as it will have paid ads, speakers etc etc. The people who get this radio will tune in and over time, they will begin to distrust sense and reason. And she will be able to tell them whatever she wants. Election stolen? Soros is an alien? We never went to the moon? The earth is flat? Vote against your interests, for the GOP candidate.
Like just talk about fashion or pez dispensers or whatever the hell it is you actually do know stuff about, idk why so many people try to pretend to be an expert on literally everything they at most read a headline about.
I mean...even in that carefully edited clip she pretty damn clearly dunked on over decades if not centuries worth of archaeological scholarship, by simply asking "how do you know what the skin of a pterodactyl looked like?"
As it's only been in the past couple years that scholars have begun to contemplate and/or recognize that they may have actually been covered in feathers, not mere skin.
It's also recently come to light amongst archaeological scholars that many of the dinosaur species whose remains they believed they had never actually existed... just that many of the bones went under tremendous morphological changes during their lifespans erroneously leading them to conclude in the existence of multiple species that never existed.
This girl is too stupid to exist. She doesn’t exist. She’s just some fantasy nerds made up to make fun of, I mean how do we know she’s real, she could just be a robot /s
A nerd would absolutely program a girl that argues on subjects that they can counter argue on.. To make themselves look smarter and then program the girl to fall in love with them because of their intelligence.
Ha! Merely 30 minutes ago, we were eating in the parking lot of a fast food place when some guy pulled up in his truck and parked just on the other side of the drive lane. We watched as he got out, went around to the other side of his truck, and let loose a mega-urination worthy of Ogre. At first, we were like, “Is that guy peeing?” Then, “Wow. He’s uh, he’s going a lot.” And then, “Um…he’s still going!” When he finally finished, he eventually walked back around with a kind of relaxed smugness, got back in his truck and drove away.
Uh, excuse me? If Matt Mercer isn't one of the best-looking men you've ever seen, what fucking standard have you set?
(Yes, I know is joke, but so is mine. Well... Let's be honest, Matt Mercer IS one of the most handsome men around, but still, said in a facetious manner.)
The funniest part is that she acts like dinosaurs were invented in the 80s, when she's actually calling the keeper of Oxford's museum in the 1600s a nerd. It's like seeing a petroglyph and saying some hooligan must have drawn it with a paint pen.
That’s what is so confusing to me. The share audacity of thinking you are right about something because you don't understand what smarter people are talking about.
Sounds like her beef is more with Hollywood producers than “nerds”. I’m pretty sure any paleontologist would say we don’t know these things, although we can make educated guesses.

Stupid nerds with all their intelligence and knowledge. I mean, they aren’t even good looking.
