What were you hoping to achieve with this thread?

It's weird how this question is never asked out of anyone when they agree with you.

Are you ok buddy? All you do is post 45 won landslide like a piece of you is missing from reality.

You didn't drink he koolaid, you fucking sniffed it.


I'm sorry that statistically speaking, Americans have lower average IQ than 26 poorer countries with better freedom and no 45 as their leader and where capitalism isn't supreme and where people can discuss facts and reality in peace.

Sorry you got triggered by the absolute reality that the average United Stater is dumber than Canadians.

Maybe you can console yourself knowing there is less of a gap between you and a chimp than say, you and I.
It's not a gap in your favour but hey.

If Canada ranked higher in mental healthcare, perhaps you wouldn't be posting this cry for help.

We have universal healthcare.
I am sorry, maybe if the United States ranked higher in mental healthcare, maybe there would be less mumble rappers and school shooters?
I'm also sorry for all the mentally challenged people who got drafted and sent to vietnam because your country made the maths and its cheaper for them to send mentally challenged people to die in a jungle than to take care of them. I'm sorry, how many mass shooting this year in your 3rd world shithole? (and why is it always the uneducated right wingers doing this?)

You guys so dumb you make it a lot easier on me.

There is basically an expression called Florida man to explain stupid American doing dumb shit because they have low IQ.
Like most recipients of the Darwin awards are also Americans.

Coincidence?

The problem with universal healthcare is its used to keep people alive but sucks otherwise. ACL tear? Have fun waiting 6-12 months for an MRI, or you can drive down to the US and pay cash like so many Canadians do.

Ive read some time ago an article that kids brain learn nowdays diffrently than few decades ago.
Like 30 years ago when kids were learning for a test, they kind of try to memorize the knowledge. Nowdays because of search softwares like google we use on a daily basis, the brain adjust a bit. We dont really memorize the knowledge anymore but instead our brain just saves the information "use google if you need the answer to a specific question".

Its like our brain use a smaller cleaner script nowdays.
You dont need to memorize a whole book anymore, all you need to memorize is where to find the book.

And western countrys use technology like google way more often than Africa for example.

But this dosent mean that people in western countrys got more stupid or lazy, our brain just adept a new way of thinking/working.

Oh well, complex topic, but I still enjoy sharing here diffrent opinions to this topic.

You are the only person openly engaging in a discussion on this whole forum mate, I like you. We don't have to agree at all!

I play on TLP right now and so many people do price checks.
Like, obviously, on P99 you go and check the wiki but on the new TLP, since there isn't a set knowledge of a website that post the auctions, people didn't know bout it but logical people know someone must have set it up.

So basically, I googled for one.
And found it.
I am trying to say that I did not know the answer, and I used my curiosity to google the answer. So yeah, the phenomena you explained is well studied and there's an actual proverb for it: give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime and what people want to know, is the answer to get out of the immediate pickle with little to no regards to future complication of not really knowing.


You have no idea how easy it is to take the money of the people who, as you mentioned, don't want to know how but rather, ask a price check (using the TLP example) because the PC is fixed, while actual price fluctuate, on a new server so what happens is people see that a hooded black cloak was Price Checked for 2kr and when i say wts with no price, they offer me 2kr because they saw 2kr but it's not 2kr anymore and this is a good example of knowledge is useless unless actualized.

Most people around the world also had to adjust to English taking over because rich western countries can send modern missionaries who teach not religion but a language to stamp it as the international language by default and the thing is, it is a proven fact that polyglots (even just bilingual people) have more neurolgical pathways created in our brain.

What I am trying to say is that technology is not making us dumb per se but when you need to know a lot of things to be able to perform, you create big neurological pathways in your brain to be able to perform even more and it's a snowball effect while right now, there is no incentive to create those pathways.

Another good example would be that if you went to university in the 1800, everything you knew, you read about it. Extensively. Because it interested you. And you had to pile knowledge onto knowledge to finally be where you needed to be. Unsurprisingly, someone would read a lot of philosophy, a lot of medicine, a lot about archeology and some about psychology only to become engineers and this created good machines because that person had knowledge and piled it onto what they were making.

We are losing this, now.
And the US is going down the drain at an alarming rate.
Ignoring the problem will only make it work.

It is very easy to look at the events that led to the fall of Rome, 2,000 years later but I bet you they didn't think they were going down, at the time.

American math team has finally beaten the Chinese in a national competition.

(the joke is the American team is comprised only of Chinese students lol)

Obvious lies.
I never waited for a MRI.

Also, tell me again, if you are poor, how lon do you have to wait to see a doctor in the US public system?

I think if you are rich, the problems are solved but that applies to everything, not just mental healthcare buddy.

Like why do you think poor people struggle with mental illness?
Perhaps because paying 120$ to see a shrink one hour is out of reach of many?
Is that a Canadian problem or like, a capitalist problem?

kids hate their parents when their parents are big boss
