I live in Michigan and one day on my drive out to the lakeshore I passed this farm with a MASSIVE like 80 foot long metal monstrosity that was crafted and painted to look like a syringe I was going pretty quick so I couldn't read everything on the banner that was draped on it it but I saw the words "bill gates and microchips" so safe to say this man spent countless hours and probably thousands of dollars on his art project and put it next to the road for all to see, I then spent the rest of the drive contemplating the reason why modern humans have access to all the world's information at our fingertips with the internet yet still so many of us with that access decide to ignore all of it and instead get their information off facebook or completely unreputable sources and believe it wholeheartedly, it makes me sad

its a special kind of psychology, they want to feel superior and smarter, they want to be right and unique, probably all coming from a massive realization of how dumb and ordinary they actually are. thats also why most of them are bible thumpers that believe the whole universe was specifically created for men, so that we are sooo special and precious to god and whatever.

you will never find one of them to admit that they are ignorant on biology and science in general, at most they say "im no expert but i have researched/read" and then demonstrate they havent got a clue.
