    Carpet and surroundings are promptly sucked into an information density formed black hole.

      I wanted to say that nobody in their right mind would take these seriously. But then I remembered the general state of mind of people.

        I saw someone else post this:

        The legal presumption of the “reasonable person”, often criticised by legal scholars, has most successfully been debunked, of all things, by social media.

        The right state of mind is boring. People only want boring when excitement becomes tiresome.

      You may be misinterpreting the meme - it’s meant to be intentionally silly, anti-anti-intellectual if anything. “YEARS yet no REAL WORLD USE found for counting any higher than your FINGERS” is definitely poking fun at people who think that higher academic notions are useless.

      Except that it is clearly satire - it’s poking fun at the idea of anti-intellectualism.

      Having said that, one could argue Poe’s law - it can be hard to tell these days what’s satire and what’s not, and not everybody is laughing at anti-intellectualism
