In answer to the Question: Dumb as Shit

A profound question to ponder indeed. Neuroplasticity principles suggest the more time you spend doing dumb stuff, the more likely you'll do more dumb, and dumber, stuff. The internet encourages that for sure, and incentivizes/monetizes you to encourage others into your positive feedback loop for dummies. So the dummy to non-dummy ratio should increase with time. But is there a self-correcting tipping point? Darwinian principles will kick in (think selfies taken while standing precariously on the edge of a cliff), so the dummy to non-dummy ratio should eventually settle at a point of equilibrium. High quality research is needed to explore this pressing question further. But who will be dumb enough to fund it?🤔 GoFundMe seems like a good place to start.
