Won't argue that a bit, so maybe the scariest thing is that they are considered creators or influencers and their followers are watching

True I had a friend who was adamant that chocolate milk only comes from dark cows 🤷‍♀️ We just didn’t have the internet to Google that.

They had plenty of airtime.. it was just that in the times of old that airtime was just between their ears. Now they just share it with their peers.

I think you're on to something. In the "old days" you'd only see this rarely. Usually in the form of a television show doing "Man on the street" interviews asking general knowledge questions of passerby. The advent of the Internet has helped reveal just how widespread this lack of basic knowledge and life skills really is and probably always was. If there's a silver lining, it's that the problem has now been identified. Whether or not it can be fixed remains to be seen.

​@@sibbylou I had some people ask me if Strawberry milk come from red cows ! I answered back that I had never milked a red cow so I didn't know ! I knew better because I was raised on a 160 acres farm and had milked cows before ! 😅😅😅

I'll drink to that🥃!

Pretzels and beer!

No, the Planet is fine, WE are on our way out! Too many stupid People among us who are fukking things up for the rest of us!

You've obviously never watched the movie Idiocracy, huh?

@@matthart2767 I have but at the time it was just a movie. There's supposed to be a difference between satirical fantasy and reality.

I sympathize, but could happen any other way?

​@@matthart2767 I just didn't realize Idiocracy was a prophetic documentary

To the contrary, I don't think it's a new problem; merely one exposed through the advent of the Internet. The miracle (and possible ray of hope) is, despite this being the norm, society has somehow managed to limp along semi-functionally. There's a great quote by Dr. Jordan Peterson where he says he's amazed every day he wakes up and steps outside his front door that everything isn't on fire with riots in the streets. That it's a miracle the lights are still on.

Wow that's all I have to say is wow😮😢

Totally agree, man. I use to teach orienteering. Pre internet proliferation. This is much much more common than people suspect.

There's more than one person who believes this? 😳

Retired military and it was sometimes a struggle to get the younglings to understand shooting a bearing doesn't take you to your destination if you've already veered three hundred meters off your intended line of march.

Way to real. Cheers 🥂.

but keep working physically...might wanna be somewhat fit in the near future

Some research indicates it's innate, like a 6th sense. I don't mean that in the woo-woo, pseudo-science, metaphysical kind of way. I mean it in hard science, empirical studies done on migratory birds and fish kind of way. That there are anatomical and physiological "compasses" built into the brains of these species. I think it's also true of humans, though we have yet to identify its locus. I, like your father, couldn't get lost if I tried. I always know my cardinal directions, even if you were to spin me around while blindfolded. I can walk through a wilderness I've never been in before and find my way back without a map, even if I don't backtrack along my outbound route. I have a photographic image in my head of every tree, and rock, and stream I've walked past; a complete 3D map projected in my mind of my surroundings. And not just for that moment, or a day, or a week, but for a lifetime; everywhere I've ever been. Yet it's so "normal" for me, I assumed everyone was capable of the same when I was a child. Exercising the skill improves it, but it's something I've had since I was a little kid before learning about compasses and orienteering. It's such that I don't even carry a compass because what's the point? It's just dead weight for me. So it's definitely innate. And - woke political-correctness and accusations of sexism notwithstanding - it's been my experience it's more prevalent in males than females. Which isn't to say every male possesses it, either. My own father prides himself on his orienteering skills. And rightly so; with a map and compass he can find a needle in a haystack. Deprive him of these, though, and he's lost. So his skill is a learned one relying on external tools, while mine is an innate one I was born with. I could not imagine what my life would be like without this ability of knowing exactly where I am in the world at all times and possessing that internal map of all the places I've ever visited. If I were to lose this ability it would be as devastating to me as losing another sense, like hearing or sight.

🤣🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

each time i hear that song it reminds me of when we were 13-14 yo me and a friend would daydream about scoring the overtime goal of a game 7 in the stanley cup final in hockey. i would say ''imagine us jumping on the ice in slow motion all epic that would be awesome!'' and my friend being the dumbass that he is ''yeah and me falling flat on my face since i dont know how to skate''

yeah....kinda hard to explain indeed but ill try...for me it was knowing where is north from home to begin with...then judge all other places in relation to home and where home is facing...its kinda like we have an internal thing that calculates that for us...also we are awesome at reading a map...and we also ''register'' the north side of some buildings randomly in our heads kinda like landmarks to help us ''keep north'' basically......some of us also know the hour of the day in relation to the sun....that one i have really no idea how we do it its like its just a feeling

There is an internet full of information waiting to be consumed by any mind willing to look. He is not, in fact, shaming. This man is recognizing, with pity, the conditions that have developed over the last several decades, and brilliantly making it humorous.

Cause the people that are doing this and not educating themselves will listen? They don't bother looking up answers before boldly stating their ignorance. Blaming this one man for not educating them is , actually, pretty hilarious.

@@lorireed8046 Assuming that people won't listen is actually hilarious and presumptuous. Also, I never blamed him for their ignorance, ☺️ I was just suggesting that he could educate them on some basic knowledge with his platform. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@Degenerator100 Facts are hard huh? They aren't listening and willfully stay in their ignorance all while boasting about their ignorance on video THEN uploading it for the world to see! His platform is on the same dang place that information is available. You remind me of the ones that will swear men can have babies all while ignoring the fact that there are over 8billion humans on Earth and Zero were birthed by men. Facts are hard.

You can lead a person to logic, evidence, and reasoning, but you can't make them think. 😔
