• Are most humans general idiots?

I'm kinda considered the geek of the family, As i know most about computers and stuff. A perfect example was when a few days ago someone we know called me, Because her ipod stopped working and she didn't know what to do. I happened to be behind my computer and loaded google, entered "ipod reset" and the first result i found was from apple support, Just hold the select button for 4 to 6 seconds. Told her that, she tried and OMAIGAWD IT WORKED. This could just be because she was an female, But c'mon, this is the 21st century. Who can't use google? Or another example when i was playing my favourite RP server and the Money detector broke. It was replaced by lexicals money pot. Then half the server started offering me 25k just to tell them wire the greater than of the money updated to an AND gate and link that to the updated output (I never used Money Pot before, just guessed that was what that output did, Output 1 when money was inserted. Once more, OMAIGAWD IT WORKED. Now both of these could situations could be because it were either woman or because it was DarkRP. Almost same thing happened on spacebuild2. Some guy kept asking why he kept dieing in space. I told him oxygen would be useful, Then he couldn't even figure out how to link an oxygen compressor to and tank and to an exchanger. It was my first time on SB2 and all i did was read the captions of the tools. I always wonder how these people even get steam installed, Or garrymod started. So my explanation for now is: 1. (Most) Woman can't use google 2. (Most) Garrysmod players are dumbfucks (Or atleast on the servers i play on :P) And the main reason for me to write this topic: Today at school our teacher couldn't get the smartboard working (Giant touchscreen with beamer) on his mac. I never used a mac before and i just clicked the little icon on the top that looked like an screen and clicked Detect Screens. Once more: OMAIGAWD IT WORKS. So the final conclusion is: 1. (Most) Humans are getting lazy and make other people do their stuff. 2. I play on gmod server filled with dumbfucks :P

I got a feeling most people are going for option "Need to stop ranting about other humans (Lol)" in the poll :P
im dumb
Yup. Lol, That was supposed to be an edit of my last post.
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;25287023]I got a feeling most people are going for option "Need to stop ranting about other humans (Lol)" in the poll :P[/QUOTE] All options are applicable to the category "some people." Some people are also black, have jobs, don't have jobs, own 20 shotguns, piloted a spacecraft to the moon, ate dirt,etc.
[QUOTE=RichardCQ;25287038]All options are applicable to the category "some people." Some people are also black, have jobs, don't have jobs, own 20 shotguns, piloted a spacecraft to the moon, ate dirt,etc.[/QUOTE] True that.
Assuming that everyone is less intelligent than you is a good indicator of your own stupidity.
[QUOTE=Symmetry;25287050]Assuming that everyone is less intelligent than you is a good indicator of your own stupidity.[/QUOTE] I never assumed that, did i? I'm just wondering if the average geek on FP is experiencing the same..
[QUOTE=Symmetry;25287050]Assuming that everyone is less intelligent than you is a good indicator of your own stupidity.[/QUOTE] There's a difference between arrogance/frustration and stupidity. There is also a difference between assumptions and using anecdotal evidence to generalize.
I'm just getting pist that everyone needs to ask my help, Even if i got the first hour off and then the teacher calls me if i can come over to help him. My mother says i should be happy that so many people want my help, but i'm almost at the point to buy a shirt that says "Ask google"

You could also buy that "I won't fix your computer" mug. Or you could just do it and take your position of superiority in your peergroup.
[QUOTE=RichardCQ;25287070]There's a difference between arrogance/frustration and stupidity. There is also a difference between assumptions and using anecdotal evidence to generalize.[/QUOTE] He's using anecdotal evidence to point out certain shortcomings people face in niche situations, and to point out examples of people being lazy or ignorant in those situations. He then concludes that they must be stupid, and that humanity in general is stupid and lazy because of this. Doesn't come off as very intelligent.
[QUOTE=Symmetry;25287108] Doesn't come off as very intelligent.[/QUOTE] True. Also, I like how people were quick to defend humanity as a whole but not women specifically.
But women [B]can't[/B] use google!

[QUOTE=RichardCQ;25287104]You could also buy that "I won't fix your computer" mug.[/QUOTE] Too bad i don't drink coffee or tea :P Also, I didn't want to say the complete humanity is stupid, Just that people who act like this and they basically create a image for the rest of mankind. The next time someone asks me about something serious i might just say no thinking he could just google it [editline]09:51AM[/editline] I could guess its nice that people know they need to go to you if they have a computer related problem.. But then what do you guys think that my teachers calls me for help and ask if i want to come to school if i got that hour off?
Being smart has nothing to do with your ability to use googles, or even computers for that matter.
[QUOTE=Symmetry;25287142]But women [B]can't[/B] use google![/QUOTE] Don't get it.
I'm going to go ahead and just say: You don't know that much people to actually just say that most people are dumb and most women can't use google. [editline]12:10PM[/editline] [QUOTE=darcy010;25287412]Being smart has nothing to do with your ability to use googles, or even computers for that matter.[/QUOTE] This too

[quote]Are most humans general idiots?[/quote] Why not?
Tbh, it IS kinda amazing to find pretty much anything you need instantly by typing it in and finding it on a list of stuff that has it for you.
It is not so much we are getting dumber. The brain just has not learnt the basics, and did not develop in the manner of being able to think for itself. :science:
I voted all tihihihih
