- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 17 hours ago:
just do the same for:
- Hospitals
- Universities
- Utilities
- Waste management
- Infrastructure
And in a couple of decades, you can undo everything your parents worked for, pull the ladder up behind you, and leave your children a dystopian hellscape!

This is not about intelligence. People, in general, are really fucking smart. Think of the dumbest person you know, who is not cognitively disabled. I’d bet they are intelligent enough to hold down a job and live a meaningful life. Of all the things I’ve seen that hold people back, lack of intelligence doesn’t even rank.
I think high levels of bias are to blame. Current media and culture encourage the embrace of bias because it makes people easier to sell to; more suggestible to marketing. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, if your navel feels good when someone sings your tune, you’ll believe whatever they tell you. Especially if you aren’t even making an attempt to understand your bias tendencies.
- Comment on Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell 2 months ago:
Harry doesn’t need to study or practice because, by accident of birth and circumstance, he’s naturally gifted at magic. Hermione isn’t naturally as gifted, but with hard work and dedication, she can do it all. Ron is neither, so he’s just the fuck up.
