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.
Can you make up or point to an example?
