I Am Misperceiving an Expanding Stupidity And Here’s Why
I’m assuming that stupid people are louder and more expressive than rational people. Because the less you know, the more certain you are of being correct, they tend to be very passionate about their own views. On the other hand, the more you know, the more you know that there is more to know, so you are less certain of being correct and less passionate about your views.
Combine this with “exponential megaphones” (e.g. internet in general, especially social media) and you have a death spiral of stupid, angry people filling the majority of online social spaces.
