You have to understand that we are dominated by what could be called specialized intelligence today. For cultural reasons intelligence and it's development is focused on taking "tests" or specialized competence. At first it seems innocuous enough. With increasing cultural complexity a need for specialization develops. At the same time because the entire social structure is developed to "care" for most peoples needs there is a distancing from the practical or to put another way the need for "common sense". While the need for specialized abilities is self evident one consequence is that what could be called general intelligence is under developed. Common sense although not strictly equivalent to general intelligence, due to the artificial, cultural nature of intellectual development in humans, reflects the more rudimentary aspect of intelligence. Common sense in other words must be programed onto the basic operating system at an early age. If it is not there is a disjunction between intellectual ability and the ability to see the broader world as it is. There are also emotional development issues at work. As society has become focused on empathy it has forgotten that empathy is nothing more than the product of the mirror neurons we share with most other animals. Even having a theory of mind does not assure that empathy is sophisticated enough to deal with social issues. In this environment empath can easily overwhelm "common sense". Not to mention empathy for whom because instinctually empathy is the reading of other agents minds including the enemies.

While a lot of our problems are caused by bad intentions it's clear that many are caused by simple incompetence. If people are unable to connect with reality because of a misunderstanding of empathy and other instincts they will mistake authoritarianism for benevolent authority. They assume that their competence in some specialized field gives them insights into social issues that they actually lack. They convince themselves that being on the "right side" is the same as being right. Unfortunately societies are sufficiently complex that most issues are morally indeterminate beyond the personal range. The saying the road to hell is paved with good intentions comes to mind.

Adherence to dogma is the most dangerous form of mob mentality. The clash of dogmas the source of censorship. We live in a very dogmatic time.

Posted by CourseofEmpireWhy can’t C-19 vaccine mandates be taken seriously?

Posted by CourseofEmpireWarren is one of the inventors of mRNA and he believes 1 to 2 billion will die from this vaxx. [twitter.com]

Posted by CourseofEmpireThe vast majority are vaxxed. This can’t be the unvaxxed who are mostly dying. Remember, they are a few months ahead of the Northern hemisphere.

Posted by CourseofEmpireAwesome 😂
