Is there a connection to be made between the world being full of stupid people and the fetishization/popularity of nerd/"I LOVE SCIENCE" culture?
In some way, it's the perfect plan to fuck up the human race
How do you make the world more retarded?
You ruin the "smart" aspect of the human race, whether it's stupid people pretending to be smart or even smart people themselves being stupid and ruining their intellect
A complete mockery of one of mankind's strenghts over other species
