There are actual, living breathing human beings out there that looked at the NSA, heard Obama say the words "putting all our information in a single database will make us safer" and came to the conclusion it was legitimately in their best interests.
People are fucking dee you em DUMB. Remember George Carlin's rant on average intelligence? That was 30 years ago. An average person back then is probably 20% ahead of the curve today.
I don't think it's necesarily an intelligence issue. I think being more social and whatnot is sort of counter-productive to developing the ability to learn how to think critically.
When I was a kid, I was a thinker and would contemplate things, but even from my youngest age, I was a loner. People didn't really exist to me. I was in my own little world. This isolation has been true for most of my life and I'm 28. I was most social and focused on that around 9th grade or so, when I was starting to carve out a niche with friend groups, but soon moved and was alone again pretty much.
I think when you're interacting with people and are social, the thinking that's done is not the type of thinking that's effective at combating lies and whatnot. Social interaction is like a dance, a waltz if you will where the intelligence in it is dedicated to navigating it gracefully. It's not the same type of thinking as the type that's required for catching someone or seeing through a lie or breaking down why a statement is logically faulty. Because good social interaction needs for you to assume the people your interacting with are operating in good faith, so your mind is conditioned not to look critically at what they're saying for the sake of being a good friend, coworker, peer, etc. This is the type of scenario that occurs most of the time for most people. Most people don't want to be all in their head naval gazing when they get home either and are able to shut their brain off.
Being socially oriented has pros and cons, as does being isolated. Pro of isolation is more time to think, and develop the habit of thinking through things without too much influence, the con is I'm not as socially adjusted and struggle in these areas. I have critical thinking intelligence, but almost no social intelligence. And the naval gazing I mentioned earlier, that prevents me often from acting. I think all day, but find I'm trapped in my head, unable to bring things to fruition. Whereas people who are socially oriented, tend to be able to have the ability to take action which is often more important than the ability to think.
I think most people don't see through stuff because they don't have the time and haven't had the practice at it. It's not an intelligence issue, but a "what's emphasized issue.
That's just a theory of mine, and I could be totally off-base.
It's called an amygdala hijack. They've been raised like animals and, as a result, they react to stimuli in an animal like fashion. No long term tests have been done to see if it's reversible, because let's be honest you wouldn't want these types of people within ICBM distance of you anyway, so they're probably fucked for life.
