how is this so accurate?

Yeah these fuckin nerds are using logic and thought to understand the world.

Just so I understand this correctly, is this a post mocking 20-something year olds by showing topics they believe to be niche, complex, or exclusive to an intelligent audience? And that by understanding these topics they are “propped up” compared to their peers?

Maybe I’m a dork, but I think“correlation does not equal causation” is actually a good thing to keep in mind.

I’m reminded of it every time a news story says something is “linked” to something else. I hate it when the word “linked” is used in this way. It’s often lazy journalism and/or a scare tactic. Saying that two things are “linked” implies a stronger relationship than may actually exist. I find it deliberately misleading.

I don't see anything wrong with any of it. Why is thinking or speaking of any of those things being framed as a negative?

Did they just like, throw a bunch of random philosophy bullshit onto a meme? Feels like this was generated by an AI or something lol.

I mean, a lot of these things are good things to consider/know about. For example, you do always have to consider that correlation is not necessarily causation. They're not really considering the most deep of philosophy, but thinking is generally better than not thinking.

Those people are in their 30s now lol

That's popular science. On the one hand, it looks shallow, but that just shows that people are curious, and that's okay.

At least they "think" in contrast to the majority of working bots and angry Twitter idiots. I'd rather deal with a person who tries to have a concept.

I'd rather deal with people who had a cursory understanding or passing familiarity of these things, in spite of some annoyance. Than deal with the proudly ignorant.

Sounds like you don't like thought so you make fun of those that at least try.

This sounds like the epidemy of weaponized ignorance.

Turned this into a list without OP's negative framing on them If people genuinely want to look it up later without a negative framing

Because I see no reason to frame them negatively like op has done as these topics are not inherently negative unlike OP's negative bias of them

And bigots using them doesn't make them Inherently negative either

Edit: unnoticed typo

Just a friendly reminder: The Stanford Prison Experiment was not an experiment. There was no control group, there wasn't even proper procedures set up. It was just some professor off his rocker that had a dumb idea, made shit up as he went along, forced the outcome, then publicized the results. People always compare it to Milgram. This idiot can't hold a candle to Milgram.

Go ahead and post your intellectually superior topics.

Sounds like OP lost an argument and is throwing a clever meme-tantrum.

That’s Broden, Mark, and Zach from Auntie Donna

History 'buffs' that only know about the Nazis, Soviets, and the Crusades.

how is this so accurate?

Easy. All these people grew up on the internet looking at the same websites, reading the same meme, laughing at the same threads.

This post would have gotten more mileage on Reddit.

Is this a picture of Aunty Donna?

the brain develops in a chronologically similar fashion among members of the same species. even more so when exposed to similar cultural stimuli. that is correct.

Frankly, I think the Milgram Shock Experiment is more elucidating as to... hey, wait a minute.

I guess I missed people rambling on about HYDRAULIC GIRLDICK

What's the venn diagram with this and katana owners look like?

Isn't the phrase closer to "what is stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence"?

Report for: i am in the picture and i dont like it

"Think different."
"YES! WE ALL THINK DIFFERENT!"

In unison, of course, like Life Of Brian.
Bonus points for bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

please stop sharing my photo online >:(

And I thought I was a real intellectual in my days.... That's exactly what I pested my teachers and fellow students with. In the '90s, though.

Wait, im 20 something?

Thank god I has this phase at 16.

I blame reddit for this

I‘m in this picture and I don’t like it…

lol this is so painfully accurate, especially in internet culture where people feel inadequate in real life so they spend their time online wielding their swords of intellect.

Incredibly accurate. It’s nuts how they all could be one person.

Damn I got called out

@VirginChad Nae true Scotsman is missing.

what if we live in a simulation

Matrix (1999) was way ahead of you. Other works of fiction as well.

People in this thread take themselves wya too seriously

Learning philosophy (and sciences, arts, etc.) is great. I think their real problem is to be dogmatic or arrogant, which is ironic.

You forgot "logic" and "mushrooms" 🙄
