"wrote about drunk "white people" being "sooo retarded"

And she's talking about whites being retarded?!

Useful idiots deluded they aren't idiots but are actually superior beings. "I be superior!" It's double downing the idiocies and the delusions and engaging the predictable '180 degree' reversal of reality.

Good lord! I'm half surprised she doesn't have a bone through her nose.

I actually agree with her. There are a lot of retarded white people and most of them think of themselves as “educated.”

Stupid people don't know they're stupid. Sometimes referred to as the Dunning–Kruger effect.

Conversely, smart people often underestimate their own intelligence.

To be "educated" in anything other than science and engineering means to obey and absorb whatever you're taught, even if blatantly false. People who are constantly questioning what they are taught tend to get forced out of mainstream academia. There is an orthodoxy, and it is mandatory to profess belief in it.

They MUST.

If you think you're smart, you stop learning. Everybody has to realize they are ignorant. I'm ignorant, you're ignorant, everybody is - and the sooner people acknowledge that and realize it, the sooner they can start learning and stop persist in being wrong. The biggest error I ever made in my 20's was thinking I was smart.

Not the ones I know.

Are you certain they are actually smart?

How many of them believe that we're in a real pandemic? How many think that the Bush administration just made a mistake to start the war in Iraq? Do they believe that the US bombed Libya "to prevent a humanitarian crisis"? Do they realize there's political censorship in Big Tech? Do they realize that Biden wasn't actually elected? If you challenged them on any of these issues, would they get angry and start yelling at you and insulting you?

“The oracle at Delphi said that Socrates was the wisest of all the Greeks because of all of them, he alone knew that he knew nothing.”

The programmer in me cringes at "knowing that you know nothing", because then you know something, and no longer know nothing...

Then just think of it as "rounding." You know .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of what is out there to be know, and that rounds to zero.

Computers are quite strict about the difference between something and nothing, so after programming a while you start to think that way too.

You must be thinking about "Nulls." As you know, in that case even zero is something, while null is nothing.

"Null" is a mess in databases. It does very confusing things.

I was thinking more in terms of javascript and other programming languages, where 0 is absolutely zero.

She’s either a dope or clever.
She saw what happened with Colin Kaepernick; sitting on the bench, he came up with a way to seek attention, and he has made money from it.
Perhaps she knows “there is no bad publicity”, just publicity.
Maybe she can make a sex tape, it worked for Kim Kardashian.
