A thing I’ve noticed on the Fediverse is obvious virtue-signaling dog piling with a twist: logic is also a virtue people want to signal. But people are increasingly incapable of genuine reasoning. So they try to ape logic anyway. They go through the motions of what they think reasoning looks like. It’s like watching a 6 year old try to use big words to sound smart. And they get validated for it, because the conclusions they started with align with the social group. It’s painful to see.
I’m neurodivergent as fuck, but I think this post is supposed to be sarcastic. So stating that you see it sincerely rings odd.
you are correct. i also just find the text-image-combination funny.
I am aware of the sarcasm in the OP. I get it. My reaction to it was “no, yeah, but people genuinely are getting dumber very fast.” It’s noticeable. We have functionally illiterate college freshman now.
I’ve met functionally illiterate college freshmen 22 years ago.
Hell, I’ve met functionally illiterate college graduates 22 years ago
Can you make up or point to an example?
You’re right, I do feel smarter
Goes hand in hand with debate bros who try to apply formal debate rules to every conversation.
Edit: all these responses are too real 😂

OK, strawman.
Wow, beg the question much?
Wow, you’re in favor of abandoning facts and logic for your echo chamber, all in the name of “not being an annoying ass who people spurn and would rather saw off their foot than share an elevator in the unlikely event that we become stuck together.”
You sound just like my ex girlfriend would if she knew about me.
Are you hiding from her?
