Disclaimer! I will be calling you stupid. So if you can't take it, please, maybe refrain from reading this article.

Nobody knows everything. The top scientists don't know everything. The science is incomplete. The Gödel's incompleteness theorems show that even something as basic as math ( which we rely on to understand the rest of the world ) is incomplete. And probably logically dubious as well. We can't know everything.

Scientists that are experts in their field, don't know everything there is to know about their field. There would be nothing more to discover, if they did. And outside of their field they are even more clueless. A lot of the times scientists in one field might not even understand the language used in the other field. There is certain jargon related specifically to, say, linguistics. And there is other jargon related to computer science. And there is a third set of words related to quantum psychics. And a quantum scientist most likely doesn't know what a linguist is talking about, due to the the difference in jargon.

But outside, in the real world, even the most knowledgeable of people can suddenly be clueless babies. How many company CEOs have no experience to speak in public? Elon Musk is a mumbling idiot. Mark Zuckerberg is a literal cringe king when it comes to his public performances. Those people maybe know something about their companies, that we don't know, but those people aren't geniuses. Even within their companies they are most likely aren't experts. They literally require other people's help to do what they do. They need lawyers and government lobbyists and programmers.

Lawyers aren't experts on law. There would not be different prices to them if every lawyer knew everything exactly as well as the other. And even the biggest lawyers could have gaps in their knowledge about their job. But they certainly can't know everything. Nobody knows everything.

We are living lives in this world where things matter. Your rights matter. Laws that govern you matter. What you signed in the contract you signed definitely matters. What you clicked "agree" to, without reading, matters. To know to read it before agreeing it matters. But you don't read it. You don't read your contract. And if you do, you are not a lawyer to know about every single gotcha out there. Or you are not a lawyer that can tell you which things are enforceable and which aren't. Most people don't know the law. They don't know that certain things are illegal. They operate on some basic common sense. Some know about some rights. Like "free speech". But those aren't quite the same things as to know the law. And a lot of people don't even know about their rights. People live lives without knowing very important things about live.

You don't know all the dangers of this world. I don't know all the dangers of the world either. I know some dangers that can potentially happen. And I know of some ways to mitigate those dangers. But people die all the time from things that they didn't think would happen to them. From things that they didn't even know sometimes, existed.

The entire population of the planet are a bunch of clueless idiots pretending very well that they are the smart monkeys. I'm an idiot. I ware this badge with the pride. I know I can't know everything. I'm a baby, like the rest of us. You are a baby too. You don't know shit. You may know something I don't know. You may even know more than I know. But in the grand scheme of things you know nothing. Humans are all fucking stupid.

And even if we know something, we still use broken logic and we all have emotions and cognitive biases and other bull-crap that makes us utterly unreliable. And just because of that, most things most people know is automatically suspicious. How do you know that the things you know are true? How do you know that the science is real and not a bunch of mistakes carried out by biased, emotional motherfuckers with broken logic? Yes there is peer-review. It is a technique to feel better about certain information. But we can't know for sure.

Humans are all fucking stupid.

If you look at the legal system you understand the most laws are incomprehensible bullshit. If you look at most software source code in the world, you see bugs after bugs. If you look at politics and wars and whatnot, the world is a cringe-fest of fucking stupidity.

Most films are utter garbage. And most good ones still have plot holes and / or other mistakes. Citizen Kane ( the greatest film of all time ) has a fucking plot hole in its premise ( nobody heard him say "rosebud" ). Most art is imperfect. It even leads to certain film-makers try to recreate the imperfectness, to give their films more authenticity. J. J. Abrams will add lens flares. Michael Bay will shake the camera. And James Cameron will use a hand held device to record a camera movement, so that a completely CGI shot will have the small imperfections from the human hand, making it feel more realistic. As if to say, people know that people aren't perfect. And they would much rather accept non-perfect things than a perfect thing ( which is more or less possible through a computer ).

Humans are all fucking stupid. And we know it. Instinctively we know it. But we like to pretend that we know shit. We like to pretend that we are "smart" and we get offended when somebody calls us stupid. And yet we are. All of us. Every single one of us.

Yes we know enough to get by, maybe. I doubt that actually. We know enough to make stuff that we think is useful to us. That sounds a bit better. To be frank, I think I'm simply too dumb to be able to formulate what I want to say here. I'm kind of trying to say, that there is some evidence to suggest that humans are at the very least among the smartest animals on the planet. And yet we are still dumb.

We like to pretend that a few years of life is enough to learn everything we need to learn to get by in the world. But that is complete bullshit. The orthodox Jews believed 13 years is enough. Bullshit. The modern world believes it is something like 18 ( or 16 ) or something. Bullshit. The USA is getting ahead of the world at understanding that people are dumb, having a law that to drink alcohol you need to be at least 21. Still not enough.

30? Not enough. 40? Not enough. 80? No. 120? Still no! It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how much experience a person has, or how much a person read, or how many documentaries a person saw, it is not enough. Nothing is enough. It is a literal impossibility to be ready for everything. And 18 years is way the hell too optimistic when it comes to be ready for adulthood.

Humans are all fucking stupid. Adults, kids, babies. All the same shit. You are as ready for life as a baby. Yeah you know not to put your fingers into an outlet. But do you know to read your contract? Or do you know how to spot a building that is about to collapse? Are you in one right now? Who knows? You can't expect everybody to know everything, because it is literally impossible. Babies don't know everything because they still didn't learn anything. Kids don't know everything, but they know something. And you know something. And there is a statistical probability you know about as much as a kid. The fact that you ( if you are older than 18 ) is an adult, doesn't make you magically ready for life. Especially in a society when to "protect childhood" we ask our kids to not try to learn anything. But just do mindless fun things over and over again. And then we are surprised how people hit 18 knowing nothing at all.

And the most tragic thing is that kids are the most capable learners. A toddler can pick up a new language in a few days. An adult person will struggle with the same task for years. A toddler will learn a computer program in a few minutes. An old person will always need you to explain the same task over and over. And that specifically because kids brains are literally forming. This is called neuroplasticity. At high neuroplasiticity ( at the early stages of life ) is when learning has the best chances for success. We don't completely fuck it up. Kids go to school, after all.

But technically we do fuck it up. Math, or geography is not technically the most important thing. Rights are more important. The law is very important. Consent and things of that nature are stupidly important. But we deem that too "problematic" for kids, because "they don't understand the world yet" and because "their brains are still forming". Are you fucking kidding me? And then we wander why a lot of people, when they grow up, have a rapist mentality to them.

It's not like by the time they are 18 they will magically learn all that stuff. First of all, governments, trying to look nice, made an utter disaster out of the education system, in most countries. You know how it goes. People want good education for their kids. Governments want to be nice and try to provide it. So that the officials will get re-elected. That leads to the officials putting stricter rules on grades. Adding pressure on the teacher, to make the kids pass to a certain grade. And that leads to teachers literally focusing only on the things that will be on the test, for those grades. Which means a lot of repetition. A lot of memorization. But no actual understanding. No intuition. No knowledge, in the end of the day. Just a number, saying how well you remembered the answers while the test was going on.

And then most things that are important are either completely glossed over. Or totally ignored. If anything, the only sex education, or legal education, or stuff like that, that kids could have is the internet. In theory if enough of them break the law, to watch and discuss enough porn films, with their friends and stuff. They can form a good base knowledge of things like consent. And that would, in theory lower the rape mentality rates. But governments tends to do the opposite, making it harder for kids to get access to any of that. Which will, inevitably lead to more rapists.

Why are education systems so broken? Why are the governments trying to make our kids dumber? Well... Humans are all fucking stupid.

Happy Hacking!!!

Say, what was the cause behind the melt-down?
