Proof Civilization Is Already Brain Dead
2020 Election Center ^ | Aug 27, 2020 | David Knight

Math? Whatever. It’s a sine of things to come. TikTok girl’s thoughts on math prove the theory that civilization is already dead. From British Museum to Mr. Bean, what made us civilized is being torn down (and we’re not talking about statues).

Civilization is always brain dead. Civilization is a mass of people trying avoid responsibility. Like they said in MiB, a person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals. Put a bunch of us together we always get get dumb.

Post-Modernist nihilistic garbage. The school that is teaching her this crap needs to be shut down.

To pay my bills I’ve been doing the Ubereats thing. I deliver food to people who seem to be ok with spending $30 for a taco.

Anyway, you can judge me in another thread :) But at a pickup window today (McDonalds) I ordered a coffee for myself and drove to the first window. The kid behind the covid condom stuck his head out and said.. simply.. and I quote..

“I can’t sell you a coffee”. Then he just stood there. No explanation.

If I did this in my job... Lets say I walked up to a house door and waited for the owner to open it. Then I blankly stared at them and said “I can’t deliver your food” and then just stood there I would fully expect the customer to pull out a gun and shoot me in the testicle.

I’ve been seeing levels of stupidity that truly question Darwin. These people shouldn’t be.

Lord how I tried not to, but I just couldn't help laughing hysterically at this.

When I was young and dumber than I am now (still dumb, though), I used to beleive that no one was "stupid". I thought most people were ignorant, but not "stupid". As I grew older I realized I was the one who was ignorant of the fact that there are many, many hopelessly "stupid" people in the world and that one cannot fix "stupid".

That made me depressed for some time, but I got over it.

This girl is learning. I wouldn't make fun of that.
What is scary are those that believe in "logical Positivism" which the belief every theory has a logical fault therefore no theory is true.

Example. 2+2=4 it has been proven if you discount every other number in existence. Though you haven't there for it's not true. It's the argument that many believe today why all science is wrong. The bases of "logical" argument of flat earth. Or Georges Sorel(1847-1922)(Marxist syndicalist who started Sorelianism) created a political ideology based on "logical positivism" where a state driven myth drives the people About Georges Sorel (In: The Birth of Fascist Ideology de Maia Ashéri, Zeev Sternhell )

LOL! Thanks for posting. David Knight does a lot of very thought provoking shows. One individual makes not a civilization. It’s easy to point out the flaws in any individuals logic. Defending oneself against the irrational is a whole different issue. Reason & logic are the fundamentals of thinking which lead to any civilization.

Civilization

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

‘sine’ is either a math pun or another example of our decaying civilization.

The light bulb went on about a minute and a half after I posted. Boy do I feel thick as two short planks. :-)

Thanks for the clarification, Grace and everyone else who replied.

No, that's exactly the problem; she's not learning and is perfectly cool with it. Why, she can't even understand why someone would want to learn. (I mean like why did Pythagorias even come up with y=mx+b?)

No, this fine young woman represents a threat to the gene pool.

I’m honestly amazed that someone so blazingly incapable of... Well, of ANYTHING, could possibly come up with a more moronic set of statements.

I think my favorite line of hers may very well have been, “we don’t need algebra, since we have all this technology...” Where exactly, does she imagine that the technology came from? Does the “Technology Unicorn” fly down from the rainbow mountain, farting out the newest version of the iPhone?

Ask her, the next time it’s time for her to charge her phone, how far she’d get in converting AC to DC voltages without Algebra. Or given that Algebra is the base of most mathematics, how much farther she’d manage to get past subsistence farming, before she starves to death?

Just WOW!!!
