  • I'm not sure you understand how governments work. PBS decided to make this show. They can't change the school funding.

  • Is not "we have most if the world's wealth, we're aware that 25% of our populationvm can't find the biggest ocean in the world in a map, and we also won't allocate funds to schools to fix this" a sign of low intelligence?

  • What does DPRK stand for?

    Just because something stands for something, doesn't mean it is that thing

  • Reavers wouldn't touch DuckDuckGo, it's half dead. Which SearXNG instance do you use?

  • And what's SearX? Isn't it also bing?

  • SimpleX is under attack by the magazine Wired

    Jump

  • I agree with the SimpleX dev that SimpleX is shit and will never be a useful mainstream platform.

    SimpleX lacks too many necessary features for adoption. Features that we don't have to sacrifice security to have.

  • Like, that's the biggest ocean and biggest country in the world. I wonder how many in the 75% just randomly pointed at blue and got lucky at identifying the Pacific Ocean.

    The actual number of people who didn't know where is the Pacific Ocean must be higher, because of the ones who guessed and got lucky.

  • I don't think it was designed by eugenicists. I think it was used by eugenicists and the original creator warned against it being used that way. Basically like Darwinism.

  • Iirc the show "Where in the World is Carmon Sandiego?" was created by the government of the US because something like half of US Americans couldn't identify the Pacific Ocean on a map.

    Edit: it was 25%

    The show was created partially in response to the results of a National Geographic survey indicating little knowledge of geography among some of the American populace, with one in four being unable to locate the Soviet Union or the Pacific Ocean.

    They also couldn't find the Soviet Union on the map (literally the biggest country in the world) in 1991.

  • Thank you.

    The problem is on the website's side, not censorship on my side. I'm using Tor Browser.
