[Opinion] Have you noticed a larger percentage of the population is becoming irrational in so many ways?

[DiLoco_DelEted]

I have studied enough of psychology and being an astute observer of people (their thinking, body language) I am finding that the "mass-formation" effect that has been put into effect on the planet in the last 5 or so years especially is staggering. I know most people are not extremely aware of themselves and their surroundings but I am beside myself to see how irrational/insane people are becoming. I understand the plan the elite has used to dumb the population of the world down and to use divide and conquer tactics to keep and gain more control, but it still amazes me how it

happens. I have watched people completely change so many beliefs to fit in when in the past they had the strength to stand on their

beliefs. Fear is such a strong influence and to see its effects is unreal. It is like the Twilight Zone in reality (loved that show) and is it strange. At one point it felt like waking up in another timeline as I am sure it has been like for some others. I understand the Cognitive Dissonance, Confirmation Bis, Confirmation memory (that one is freeky), avoidance and disconnect that happens and it is so bizarre to see it play out. I know they literally wanted to make the majority go insane to be controlled easily and they expect most won't survive the future. Of course the elite are suffering from the vary same issues as well but they don't think they are which is how cognitive dissonance with confirmation bias works. I am interested to hear any of your experiences with this around you?

One can speculate endlessly as to causes. Personally I'm into cure. Which means psychologically unplugging from as much of the un-culture as possible. (Once brain implants become mandatory, that will be a thing of the past.) This, of course, stamps me as the nuttiest guy in the room in many situations. Price of non-attendance at the Great Suttee of World Civ, eh?

...and then fly into an irrational rage when either their beliefs are questioned, or they get called out on some bullshit they've previously pooted forth.

I think that the problems in the US began when mandatory civics classes were ended in high school around the end of the Cold War, and people stopped learning about the logic behind the US Constitution (separation of powers, proportional representation, guaranteed basic rights, limits of federal power, etc.) and began not appreciating, or being inclined to protect or defend, what they were no longer taught to understand. These classes should be reinstituted here. Also, I think that classes in Aristotelian deductive logic (including the laws of thought (if X then X, if not-X then not-X, either X or not-X, not both X and not-X) and the verification and falsification methods of logical induction that are employed by science should be mandated so that people can once again learn how to spot logical fallacies and self-contradictions, and how to sift through the enormous plethora of available data and glean the wheat of genuine knowledge, millable via those logical operations into grist for well-informed speech and actions, from the mountain of mostly clickbait bull fecus chaff that avalanches over us. Most people don't even understand Hegelian evolution, wherein a thesis invokes its opposing antithesis, which then merge into a greater synthesis, much less FSC Northrup's advancement that for each thesis there are many nontheses, not just a single antithesis, and not just the two, but the many converge - this should be taught as well, to facilitate more effectively dealing with the enormous complexity with which we are now presented. It would also well behoove us to remember that the intensity with which one advances an opinion of position has nothing whatsoever to do with its veracity or even verisimilitude; otherwise, the most violently extreme, like the Thugees in the past and Islamic State in the present, would always be the most correct. That's just substituting emotion (feeling) for intellection (thinking), which is a recipe for cooking up a massive cluster of disaster. And we suffered that self-inflicted disaster at the voting booth last year.

Good query. As part of my general misanthropy I am an anti-Semite, but even I am growing a little weary of everyone and his dog dumping on Israel for fighting back against Hamas. (I mean what do they EXPECT?) Besides, any thinking anti-Semite has to ask himself why HIS own Volk are so very susceptible to being duped century after century. David Myatt has a number of well thought-essays hinting openly at chronic deficiencies in the white European psyche. These tend to produce a human-type he calls "homo hubris." Google his stuff.

Ashkenazi Jews have a much higher average IQ than caucasians, and it is the oppression that they have suffered in the last two millennia that has Darwinianly resulted in this. Their population has been systematically culled throughout Europe and the Middle East, with the less intelligent among them not survivng the pograms and dhimmitudes long enough to reproduce.

Absolutely this. Failure to recognise this is why obvious Dunning-Kreuger victims succeed.

Yes i have noticed this. I believe the biggest issues are rooted on social media, podcasts, toxic addictive short videos , and with pop culture figures.

On social media all you will see is politics everywhere. When you go youtube same thing, but of course Trump is a very polarizing figure in politics so he produces alot of attention to him from content creators.

Biggest problem i see and it has been for a long time is emotionally biased news (which is also politically one sided news). Never do you ever get news without something to grab your attention emotionally.

The way i look at it is that people naturally need some sort of leader to have any sort of direction. That leader can be the president, some musician (or artist), podcast person, famous intellectual speaker, friend, sibling, parents, etc. When you like someone that usually means you relate to them. If you notice the people you hang out with the most typically will be like like you(Basics of NLP match and mirror principles). The leader people choose to follow will end up shifting the way they think.

Another problem is attention span. How many times i have noticed politicans taking radically different positions politically then they did in the past — yet i have noticed barely anyone having attention to this.

Theres also this gullibility in people i see that trust the image projected by someone without questioning "is that really how they are?"
