Yes, but I'd expect them to learn at some point. But they keep being idiots.

It's the lost-cause fallacy. They're incapable of self reflection because it could compromise their entire identity/beliefs.

Talk to anyone who worked in hospitals during the height of COVID. All of them encountered people gasping for air as their lungs filled with covid pneumonia, on their death beds insisting they did not have covid, and it was all a government conspiracy. Even on their deathbeds, these people still cannot accept reality.

See, this is how people end up being in favour of eugenics.

It's not that stupid people exist, it's that they keep being stupid, and bafflingly self-destructive, even after their stupidity is demonstrably demonstrated to them.

I'm in favour of education. There was a time when people lacking education strived to close the gap and become a better version of themselves. I'm not sure how we lost that, but I want it back. I'm not only talking about school. People went to classes after work, read about new stuff and invested into themselves.

Social media broke us. Instead of seeking to learn and become better, idiots seek likes and retweets. And they get it.
