If the majority in society had IQ’s over 100, then we wouldn’t have these policy forums and websites today – wouldn’t need them. It goes without saying that since the vast majority of the population have IQ’s equal to, or below 100, AND…
…the majority of the population is known for making less-optimal decisions, showing poor inductive and deductive skills, poor creativity and imagination, AND is always the majority that support an inferior collective perspective on current situations and events (fitting perfectly in line with normalcy bias and shared ignorance)…
then the natural place to look for undiscovered facts, secrecy, and hidden truths, is where the demonstratively more intelligent minority of the population point, and not where the masses suggest (which is generally, ‘nowhere’).
Said another way…for every 1 person who points in the direction of a potentially elusive truth, secret, or fact, there 3 people remaining silent or claiming that he is wrong (a ‘conspiracy theorist’, even). This is simply mathematical and stastical fact as seen on a simple bell curve.
Smart people quickly identify those who stand out of the crowd (that conspiracy theorist - that squeeky wheel of sorts), and consider investigating that person’s uncommon suggestions and claims, if even remotely possible, while generally dismissing the other 75% of argumentative protesters as simply less-important noise-makers who desperately try not to upset the collective ‘apple cart’ in order to maintain that blissful state of peaceful ignorance.
Apply the same observation in these forums – or anywhere else in life.
