Both are damned good indicators of low intelligence/information, too close to call.

Which do you think is a surer sign of low intelligence and/or low information?
#5
RE: Which do you think is a surer sign of low intelligence and/or low information?
I'd say that people have a selective mechanism for suspending disbelief. It's rampant in politics and religion. I'd venture to say that a lot of the Chump's supporters are just plain stupid. The ones who voted for him but are not stupid, turned on their selective mechanism for suspending disbelief. It's OK when you are watching movies or reading books, but if one closes down too much rationality, they can be led to doing crazy shit like having the Chump as president. I think that religion is the training ground for suspending disbelief, and in a bad way.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
