Why are people so illiterate when it comes to science and how do we stop this?
There's a fundamental flaw in humans.
The only cure for this flaw is a total destruction.

Welfare requiring irreversible sterilisation would do the trick in five to ten generations.

And antibiotics

>Be cold, incurable virus.
>Host takes antibiotic: "Ha, that'll get rid of you!"
>Leaves host, because its too stupid to be useful.
> Host thinks antibiotic get rid of cold.
Is this what is happening?

OP, the majority of people here are scientifically illiterate.
>>8174643
Ah, you're one of those edge lords, who thinks they're the most intelligent person on /sci/. Well Mister Polymath, fuck off.
>>8174645
I was in that thread and was the only one who actually called out that sperglord, by offering him two tests to prove himself.
In addition to that, most people here are tards.

We need more.
Viruses are biological, therefore something that kills biological things should help.
We can call this killing substance an "anti-biotic"
>>8174760
Do you even understand virology?
>>8174760
This is trolling
No way a /sci/ poster is actually this clueless about how antibiotics work and what viruses are

Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize half of the population is dumber than that.
The best education in the world cant fix stupid.
>>8174829
It worked well on you.
>>8174122
Because people scream bloody murder if you want to give children a decent education.
>>8174831
I don't understand what you mean.
>>8174852
ah yes, all those useful things that everyone should know...
>>8175004
In the modern world, they really should.
>>8174122
you don't. its literally your job as a scientist/engineer to keep these people safe from their own stupidity. always has been.

lmao are you fucking kidding me
that's supposed to be a high school curriculum, you're telling me that people who will end up as construction workers, fast food workers, data entry techs, salesmen and telemarketers need to know data structure? That they would benefit from knowing literally anything about computer vision? That they'll find differential geometry useful?

I know it's tough, but you're just going to want to ignore threads like this one. Anything beginning with a circle jerk of "look how smart we are" is going to devolve into people postiing shit like that genuinely.
Because in America scientific facts are always debatable and these shits think they know better than scientists.

Freud might have been on to something.

The thing is that the American state "should" value knowledge above all things. It's a mentality.
"It's a cultural matter. People get the politicians they deserve"; did you hear this before?
Just look at what americans think of their country. They literally believe America=The world. Kek

Not even a fucking argument, aight

Is IQ not normally distributed?
