Kids, which earthquake should we cause today?

Twitter is optimized for opposition research - you see the crazy and gullible like nowhere. This is how to read such tweets; good part of the population are vulnerable to such information debris. Adapt your public policy accordingly.
@RadCentrism calls them low-information individuals, no?

The same ones who think a radio transmitter can cause tsunamis and earthquakes also tell you masks don't work and climate change and SARS are hoaxes. Understand whom you govern or write policy for. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-freq…
@RadCentrism Hashtag is #LowIQPandemic, look at a few examples.

Now—having preferred sources is NOT *ipso facto* a problem.
3/ But it IS a problem if 99+% of ALL info sources are *fatally* wrong.

Here's a Dunning-Kruger (DK) metaphor.

Been saying this for a while now.

We are suffering through a concurrent #LowIQPandemic caused by abysmal educational standards—at all levels—particularly in the past 20 years.
