These Jubilee 1 vs 20 social discussion videos


Recommended Posts

Posted

i assume most everyone has seen clips of these by now. in the latest version, one doctor takes on 20 anti-vaxxers. on the one hand, i am so thankful that we have people like dr.mike to calmly explain why things like science aré important. on the other hand, goddamn these videos make me feel like gen z is a lost cause.

I have never heard or seen any of these things and still haven't because I don't want to click on your link based on your description.

I am just posting because I'm wondering how the word Jubilee got used in this context. I understood Jubilee differently, as a word and definition (a sort of reset or forgiving of debts that occurs every 25 years or something like that).

Jubilee Media is the production company behind these videos. Jason Y. Lee founded the company in 2010.

then there’s this guy: extremely passionate, sees himself as some sort of intellectual or academic, can’t form a single coherent thought:

I tried to watch this yesterday, because I like Dr. Mike's approach in his videos.  I had to give up after this guy took the seat.  He was completely incoherent and made me want to smash my monitor.  "I have brief access to a broadcast platform, so let me take this opportunity to mention every issue I have a crackpot theory about rather than make a single logical argument."

I made it about 25 minutes into the video. This guy is is a fucking perfect example. 'Vaccines suck, but the real problem is that the white man took this country and we need to commune with the earth."

Ok, guy, great, but the discussion is vaccines and you're talking about nothing related to actual vaccines. Every snippet I saw was some version of this. "But my unvaccinated kids are healthy." The doctor wasted his time completely. And yes, this country is turbofucked.

The feel-good inclusivity politics of the last thirty years are a big part of why we are now dealing with conspiracy theorists who are confident enough to espouse idiotic bullshit to anyone who will listen.  They genuinely believe that they are reading and doing research because they have no fucking clue what that means.   I know the Internet and social media provide a platform, but if we adequately shamed stupid people for being stupid none of this would be happening.  Instead, we pass kids along who can't read, convince certain folks (mainly white suburban kids) that they are intelligent because they score high on really easy standardized exams, and generally coddle morons of all stripes.   Maybe it's time to bring back the judgmental shaming of kids.  At the very least, start failing the kids who are too stupid to pass our embarrassingly easy public school classes instead of passing every single one of them along.   At least then, they'll know they're stupid and/or lazy and will have the opportunity to do something about it instead of just meandering into adulthood with misguided notions of their own intelligence. 

TLDR: We would have fewer stupid adults if we started telling stupid kids they're stupid again.  Put that on a red hat.

Dialogue is going the way of the dodo bird. This debate culture is fucking terrible and gets us absolutely nowhere. 

 

 

Unfortunately, giving an idiot a seat at debate gives credibility that their point of view has merit.  No, you don't get to debate that 1 + 1 = potato. Fuck off.

the only idiots are the ones not doing their own research.  there's a wealth of valuable information on tiktok and facebook covering important topics such as these and if you're not doing the work then you're the idiot.

tldr: We suffer fools gladly. We shouldn't suffer fools at all.

On the plus side, American society and governance is being remade in such a way that fools who believe bullshit on the intardnet will sort themselves out of the biosphere in fairly quick order.  See West Texas measles outbreak.

If they don't, well... I guess they will prove they were right all along.

Regarding, people should do their research. While I get the sentiment, the problem is that when someone is a novice/beginner to a topic... with how chaotic the internet can be, it's not a sure thing what people are researching is accurate.

They read some spam on Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/whateverthefuck. Research done. Now they are smarter than doctors.

The dumb cunt mom who lost her kid to measles was still saying measles isn't that bad and people shouldn't get the vaccine. Fuck stupid people. Fuck social media which allows stupid people to find each other and unify in their stupidity.

PERFECT - I'm in

All your crotch fruits are fucking regarded. Socially and intellectually.

I texted my 18 year old nephew after I got his HS graduation announcement and asked him if this was a joke, because there's no way his pot smoking dumbass is actually graduating HS, unless all his finals were watching Youtube videos.

We are minutes away from a widespread movement to ban airplanes, because they are fake news, everyone knows that things with wings cannot get off the ground unless those wings flap. Watch the birds, watch the butterflies, DO YOUR RESEARCH.  Your bullshit about "camber" and "lift" are utter bullshit that BigAirplane wants us to believe.  But I know what's real and true, and what's real and true is that wings don't make things fly unless they flap.  We need to ban all airplanes right now, because they are doomed to kill everyone who gets on one.

Stupidity is one thing.  There have always been loads of stupid people.  It's the WEAPONIZED stupidity, full-Dunning/Kruger stupidity, that's killing us.  And "weaponized stupidity" is our national model right now, so...yeah, we're beyond fucked.

We will be banning chlorine in water soon, too.  Just wait for it.

The optimist in my is clinging to the chance that @futureman was demonstrating a smidge of sarcasm with his comment...  I could easily be wrong.

Don't forget that those fucking things shrink as they get higher, and plain old common sense tells you that is impossible.  It has to be some kind of mirage trickery, probably some secret DOD stuff harvested from alien tech they won't tell us about.

The problem with the "did my own research" and "common sense uber alles" crowd is that they've never grasped the age-old principle that the breadth of one's knowledge always limits one's logic and reason.   If you know very little about something, or research incorrect information about a topic, lots of wrong things will seem perfectly reasonable to the point you would swear up and down you must be right.  I made the joke in my last post about airplanes getting smaller as they get higher, and that comes from an old story that illustrates this point well.   A kid who has never flown before watches from the airport window as planes take off and disappear into the sky.  Once she's on board her flight, she turns to her mom and asks, "When do we start shrinking?"    It's a perfectly logical and reasonable presumption based on the kids' limited knowledge, but it's also completely wrong.

You sound like a whore for Big Airplane.  You should do your research.  Here, watch these five videos made by complete fucking crackpots, and treat them as the end-all, be-all authority on the subject:   (BLAH BLAH BLAH)

When our society has fully embraced postmodernism, along with a significant regression in critical thinking skills, you have a recipe for the disaster that had put this country on a downhill ride into dysfunction and mediocrity.

Your relative truth becomes undebatable and there have been plenty of people during your “development”, including and largely due to social media, that tell you that you are the center of the universe and you should reject every commonality or institution (like evidenced based medicine) that may have caused some grievance or perceived injustice for somebody, somewhere, at some time.

Is there any evidence today’s 18-23 year olds are actually dumber than a decade ago or two or three? Let’s be real, this age range has never known shit about fuck but thought it did.
