Yeah, he’s utilizing an “appeal to authority” logical fallacy because he’s been indoctrinated to believe parroting what some biased professor says means he is composed of a greater intellect.
It’s because of he reward system that comes with getting an answer right after someone tells you how/what to think.
He’s also conflating education with intelligence; most assuredly due to being a walking case study of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
“I have a formal education, therefore I am an intellectual and you are not. I’m not going to elaborate on how this is the case, because that would require me to do my own thinking and formulate an argument of my own.”
They also use this argument to state that people who live in rural areas are composed of subpar intelligence.
“You have chosen not to live in a cramped, dirty, crime-ridden city that you can barely afford a one bedroom apartment to live in, and that’s obviously because you’re simply uneducated.”
I’ll continue to enjoy my life as an autodidact with a four bedroom home in the fresh air of the country, where my neighbors all behave… neighborly; if that makes me an uneducated fool in the minds of these types of pseudo-intellectuals, well, I’m fine with that.
@Libertizzy@FreedomVatara@Photomusicrock That song came out almost 50 years ago, so the oldest ones would be around their mid to late 30s when it came out. I’m sure they’d heard it, and some of them might’ve even been big fans and still are.
@Eyeswideop98821@TazTears@SamuelLJackson@colbertlateshow You’re really comparing Dana Carvey’s Bush impression on SNL to these obsessed talking heads who do nothing but promote very obvious one-sided political commentary and label it as “comedy”?
@kegrun@HumansNoContext Yeah, she’s got roast skills off the top of the head. Reminds me of a female version of one of my drill instructors in boot camp.
“Features! Premiers!”
@Lana_Florea@lgndofsummer@dom_lucre You’re probably right about that, but boys are often subjected to atrocious treatment there, too. Look up "bacha bazi", or “the dancing boys of Afghanistan”.
@Pr0Hom0@TTExulansic Wait until this silly creature finds out that “non-binary” in Spanish is either “no binario” or “no binaria”, depending on the person’s gender.
