I just notice people more often sound sort of like robots repeating whatever they just heard. They seem less able to take in new information, or accepting of different ideas. Its sort of like stepford wives.

Are people suddenly stupider ?

When people are fearful of something unknown, like this virus, they Do get stupider because they want so badly to have answers....remember Chicken Little & his mob?

Some panic is understandable. Wanting answers doesnt seem stupid

@thinkwithme it isn't stupid per se, but jumping on every FB post, running out to buy, or worse ingest, whatever is put out there, is. Very!

I think more increased communication (internet, etc) has just lifted the veil on the gullibility that has likely always been present, but is now more exposed. I really thought we were smarter than this, and less intellectually lazy. The current situation is pretty depressing.

The grammatical rule is ‘more stupid’ as a comparative, in most cases, does not have more than two syllables

That sounds less stupid.

The stupidity is just out in the open now that we have a moron as president...

In the USA at least, everything has been politicized, and it appears people merely pick a side … then repeat the talking points from the ‘news source’ of their choice. I suppose their opinions become their identities. So, oatmeal?

I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot. I am not a robot.
