There is, literally a generation of idiots by the virtue of being so lazy that have no time to think.
It is called, “educated out of common sense”.
I can understand an idiot posting misinformation, when he or she hates Russia so takes a video from the South Africa where a lion wonders in the city and creates a fake post, claiming 500 lions have been released in Russia to enforce quarantine.
But, how would you explain thousands of idiots on the Facebook, re-posting that crap as if legitimate news?
It takes 2 mins to Google and verify the source.
But the idiots would don’t have that time.
But no, They are too busy re-posting crap.
If you don’t want to be like them, make a habit of verifying any info you are fed, questioning motives and credibility of the authors.
The same applies to Politics.
Don’t rely on hearsay and claims on behalf of others, who said what but check the original source.
Laziness breeds idiots, research – a critical mind.
I admit that judgments are wrong; so is calling some people idiots.
But how else would you call an idiot?
