Dang. I don't follow - much less worship - any celebrities, but this is still mildly disappointing. MacFarlane is good on some things, and some of the stuff he produces is pretty good. I knew he was retarded, but it's still sad to see him be this much of an NPC.
Just from this conversation, you know he had breakfast.
Not really. If they were simply stupid, you could educate them and they'd change their minds. What we've actually seen, even in this very clip, is that they'll never change their minds, because lack of information is not the problem, ideological dogma to their cult is.
As I've said in a few comments, it really is sad. Not least because it makes me sound like a raging narcissist. I don't want to act like I'm better than large swathes of the population...but large swathes of the population seem to be barely conscious. I don't claim to be a super genius, but come on, people! Work with me here!
Seriously, it really is sad how many people are basically actually the NPC meme. The Science™ and the Experts™ actually back this up, too, which is extra depressing.
Most people are straight up that meme of "I just want to grill." They exist in a very simple bubble of trying to do as whatever is possible to get their money and then get to their hobbies/family. The greatest sphere of politics and society is just a hindrance to them and they treat it as a disregardable nuisance unless its directly effecting them at that moment.
Its not even that they are really that stupid, they just don't want to or think it matters to fuss about things above their station. If X says it, well its his job to say it so lets do it to move on to getting back to grilling. They can think and reject things that go against certain ingrained knowledge or their nature, but its normally not in a big showy way that you'll see either.
It’s like that. I tend to find dumb people put off doing things that will benefit them and require little effort. And once i realised that, a lot of people who seemed normally intelligent have long moments of dumbness along with npcness

It’s amazing how many people are pants on head retarded
Its not stupidity. Its hyper-socialization. They'll say whatever keeps them popular in their circles, no matter how insane.
Potayto, potahto
