Stupid people invariable assume that smart people are stupid, which gives them false confidence. Stupid people love to use the straw man fallacy on smart people.

If a climate scientist is skeptical about the Green New Deal, then supporters of the Green New Deal (who don't know climate science) label the skeptic as a "climate denier" and a "science denier".

Democrats are arrogant pricks. After using the straw man fallacy, they do a touchdown dance and declare themselves to be badass. People like this are impossible to reason with, and they tend to be narcissistic jerks.

Democrats think that things are simple. They are not.

Einstein: Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Einstein: Complex problems have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers.

Democrats are complexity deniers.

Not only are Democrat complexity deniers, they are also incapable of comprehending complexity. They're incapable of acknowledging that complexity exists, and that it matters.

Professor Kingsfield: You come into here with minds full of mush. You will exit thinking like lawyers.

Kingsfield: You must learn how to teach yourselves.

Democrat playbook: If challenged, accuse your opponent of being a racist.

If your playbook is this simple, then you are not conscious. You do not possess free will. You would flunk a Touring test. You are merely a meme.

Dr. Manhattan:: I have seen memes come and go so fast, they can hardly be said to have occurred at all.

Gandalf: If you do not study, you shall not pass!

Boromir: One does not simply pass without studying.

If you want to achieve the pleasures of complexity, you must study.

Democrats don't study. They are incapable of experiencing the pleasures of complexity.

Love this video!

At the left end of the plot is Greta, who does not take the time to study climate science.

At the right end of the plot is the world's mightiest climate scientist, the physicist Dr. Koonin. He published a book titled "Uncertain", where he says that the current state of the art of science is not yet capable of predicting the future of climate. Koonin says that people will have to deal with this uncertainty.

Remember that Dr. Koonin is a monster badass physicist. Caltech physics professor. Caltech Provost. Undersecretary of Energy in the Obama Administration. British Petroleum Chief Scientist. Director of the NYU public policy institute.

I recently spoke about the Dunning Kruger Effect in conjunction with Dietrich Bonhoeffer's "Theory of stupidity”. I also opened the session with a short video on "The boy Who Cried Wolf".

Lost a few friends that day.

Makes good sense! However the more I learn about myself and others the more and more evidence comes to light that the entire human race is "BATSHITCRAZY"

This may be among the most significant videos I have seen in some time.
