Why the fuck do normies think it's ok to be absolutely shit at grammar and spelling?
Why is anti-intellectualism so fucking rampant in society? People don't care about learning things.
Especially if you pointed out that they were in fact wrong on a subject they thought was true.
First of all, you fancy yourself a learner but you are probably just as bad as them. We can tell by your typing that you're not very clever. Look at you posting a stale outdated meme, you're just as bad.

This is true, actually. Never really got why people hated being smart.
I think it's because they all have a natural instinct to 'rebel'. And since education is compulsory, I guess they rebel against that?
anti-intellectualism, fake status and niggerfying standards has become the norm thanks to jew media
>>29412945
I'm not saying people should sit inside all day reading an encyclopedia. I'm just saying that they won't even learn the most basic of things like the difference between their, there, and they're. Or if someone doesn't understand how heat/fire works it's very simple to explain and people see it's gonna take more than 30 seconds and become disinterested.
I'm not trying to start some pissing contest about who's more intellectual.
And pepe is immortal.

Take a course in linguistics. Every Goddamn period there's idiots complaining how language is declining.
There was a dude in the Middle Ages who complained about the state of English can't find it.

What society are you talking about?
The same one built by the educated intellectuals?
Or your highschool playground?

wah wah wah the jews wah wah wah the blacks
you're so cool man lemme suck you off while you read me mein kampf in line for the trump rally
lmao i fuckin cringed m8, most fedora post ive seen in quite some time
>>29412991
Your post is gaggingly stale, and you are a faggot because of your opinions and the things you like.
>>29412911
Everything has a spell checker. When you spell a word wrong, everyone knows what you mean. If you spazz out over a typo, you need a life. It's how dumb insecure people pretend to be smart.
>>29412998
what do you think society is? it's not just some glass boxes made by these super smart people and they just fill it with the masses like they're rats
it's formed by everyone around you.
>>29413025
thanks
>>29413026
then stop replying
>>29412991
Learning how fire works is trivia. That doesn't make you smart. It makes you better at shitty board games.
>>29413041
Everyone around us would be dead if not for chemists, biochemists and engineers.
>>29413041
Not until you start posting with a name or trip so that I can never make the mistake of seeing you again.
Or you could do us both a favor and stab yourself in your OC-defiling visage.
>>29413052
if you know how things work you can think about how it applies to other aspects of life that's how intelligence works
>>29413035
it's about how people in college can't even fucking spell college. you didn't get to use a calculator in first grade when you learned how to add and subtract. Why should you be allowed to use spell check when you don't even understand how to use the language you were taught.
>>29413065
you're overestimating their role immensely. they're necessary for the size of humanity today but we'd still be around if they weren't just not as advanced
>>29413099
>Why should you be allowed to use spell check when you don't even understand how to use the language you were taught.
To fully understand English, you also need to know German, French, Greek, and a little bit from everything else.
How is your upper Futhark and Frisian? Idiot.
>>29413099
Everything around you was built by someone with their head on straight. Everything. Everywhere. You're wearing clothes treated by biochemsts, you're standing on foundations created by chemists, you're eating food that wouldn't exist if not for engineers.
A "just not advanced" society is not the society we live in.
If it was truly anti-intellectual there would be none of these things. Intelligence has always been prized, it's our one great advantage over the rest of nature.
Maybe you saw a dumb nigger on tv and mistook him for all society?
>>29413151
>>29413160
you're both just nitpicking specifics i'm talking about everyday people being anti-intellectual. work at any job and you will see what I mean.
>>29413236
I've never met a single person that advocated stupidity outside of junior high.
>>29413250
have you worked a job?
real life is exactly like jr high people don't grow up past that point they're just petty little dumb shits
Goddamnit guy, take the course in linguistics, you are brainwashed by the goddamn prescriptivists
Some pretentious fuck made up grammar or spelling rules to make English more like Latin
That's all there is
>>29412911
Did this thread go in the direction you had hoped?
>>29413290
You're either delusional, or you work at a kfc in detroit.
>>29413304
i just want a bunch of people to reply to me so i feel real
>why are normies
Shit thread by shit OP who thinks he's smarter than the rest of society.
>>29413336
wah wah wah only black people are bad wah wah wah my daddy beat me until i put on my klan mask wah wah wah my sister looks hot wah wah wah gotta vote trump wah wah wah them muslims
most non-whites i've worked with have actually been the most intellectual and I've mostly worked in retail
Even that fuck Plato complained about anti-intellectualism. It just happens all the time every time.
>>29413398
I'm not saying it's a new occurrence I'm just complaining
>>29412911
grammar and spelling = caring
not caring = cool
caring = not cool
>>29413398
As if a philosophy major knew anything about anything.
He'd make a fine janitor in the modern world.
>>29412911
i dont get the fuss over bad grammar
once upon a time, some people developed a language so they can communicate with others
so we can talk with others, we make sure to learn the same language
but if i get wrong some things, they still understand, so bad grammar isnt that baf
also language always changes, as proof we have the dictionaries
language isnt static, it changes and new words, expressions and rules appear
>>29413483
yeah and i adapt to the language just fine i'll use abbreviations for words online like irl and shit. but when someone is debating you online and they use poor grammar/spelling it's like, why am I even trying to talk sense into them?
>>29412911
I listen to maddox too
>>29413483
>>29413524
also to expand on that point
spelling and grammar is pretty much the ONLY viable metric you can use to gauge a person's intelligence online and if they have no desire to make themself good at either then why would they be smart?
>>29412991
People know the difference between their they're and there.
They just can't be assed to correct themselves every typo
>>29413440
That's not how math works mate, it'd be
Caring = cool/not
>>29413547
wut, about the validittty of dere point getem across? dont have ta fancy being to understanding
>>29413547
Right, let's say a person's spelling is rather horrible. However, their argument is rather logical and well presented? Does that still mean he is not a smart person?
>>29413537
i agree with like 75% of what he says. he's pretty cynical now that he finally made a livable amount of money on being an internet presence so you can't just accept what he puts out so quickly anymore.
I'm still mad that BPITU ended and the fact that he's not bringing it up at all means that it's probably all his fault. And how Dick just goes "it's a matter of different artistic views" is pretty high-road for him.
>>29413548
read
>>29413547
that's like going "i know i SHOULD put on pants I just can't be assed to" and then expecting people to take you seriously.
>>29413608
>>29413590
if they are able to articulate their point well enough through jumbled spelling i'd accept it but that's like saying that a racecar with no back tires might win the indy500. sure it MIGHT be possible but it's highly unlikely.
you can go "sorry english isn't my first language" or something if it's not and then make your point which a lot of people do do
i made too good of points now everyone left me
>>29413547
this sums it up nicely
originalcomentplsszzzz
>>29413852
thank you larry
that's your name now larry
>>29413852
Not at all, it is EXACTLY what unintelligent people think.
>>29413609
I will still listen to maddox but dick's got his own show too.
I think I'll like it better. Maddox is losing it.
>>29413912
i like dick when he's not talking politics
i guess both of them are good when they're not talking politics
>>29413912
>>29413925
Dick's new show is hilarious. Maddox's new show is just BPITU but only 1 problem. At the very least Maddox needs another co-host.
>>29413998
yeah Dick's show is max comfy can't wait for the boisterious episode i didn't listen to last week's episode for maddox yet but apparently he had a guy on there with him idk if they debated it or not
