      Gonna copy my comment from the first time you posted this:

      >Dunno why you think doing the LC has anything to do with this. Every single antivaxer or conspiracy theorist I know has sat the leaving, most have a 3rd level education.

      Some of the stupidest people I’ve ever met have PhDs. An educational certificate doesn’t suddenly grant you common sense.

      The Leaving Cert is not going toale rhese people suddenly intelligent.

      Now teaching stuff like how to denatecand form an.opinim, how to see logical.fallacies and how to spot sensationalism in online oists and pidcasts, would, but we prefer to teach Shakesoeare.

      Leavin cert wont fix this and in fact some of the dumbest people I know have degrees and PhDs.

      Dolores Cahill is a perfect example of what I mean. A world renowned expert in her field but down the conspiracy rabbit hole deep.

      Keep in mind Ireland has some of the highest bot traffic anywhere on earth. It’s estimated 60% of comments on political posts in Ireland are bots.

      The LC itself won’t solve everything. It will give these people a goal and a purpose for sure but there’s also domestic influences and peer pressure. Plus making school mandatory up to the LC also closes some routes for early apprenticeships which is a viable alternative to the education system. The school system is not for everyone.

      Or these are just bots.

      My brother in Christ, you live in Ireland. You’re lucky if you see the sky at all. We haven’t seen it since 1976. Much love, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

      Cloud seeding isn’t a conspiracy theory though… However it probably doesn’t happen in Ireland

    15. Rabid_Lederhosen on

      Cloud seeding is a real thing, but it’s normally done by people who live in deserts and that. I can’t imagine why anyone would ever bother doing it in Ireland. Unless it’s a conspiracy led by some sort of frog people who need to stay perpetually damp. And even then they could get the same result simply by moving to Galway.

      I had people arguing with me that teaching kids how to read a clock isn’t necessary. They can’t even comprehend the beneficial concepts kids learn from it.

      So I am not surprised at this.

      Post isn’t making fun of those who never did it btw. Just laughing at the stupidity of some peeps

      Ireland has one of the highest proportions of bots online globally.

      These bots, alongside controlled opposition (like Alex Jones) are intended to discredit discussions that have some truth to them by making absurd and exaggerated claims that become inherently associated with the overall discussion.

      For example, it is a matter of public record that the US military has used cloud seeding for military purposes, having conducted a program named Operation Popeye during the Vietnam war. This operation centred around using cloud seeding via silver iodide in order to induce rain outside of the monsoon season in order to make the Ho Chi Minh Trail impassable, cutting off Vietnamese supply lines.

      Despite this, any mention of cloud seeding and it’s military applications inevitably leads to a load of people calling you a crazy conspiracy theorist because bots are used to make people think everyone who talks about cloud seeding thinks it’s being used to make Ireland cloudy and rainy or being released from every passenger plane.

      I left school after my junior cert and I’m far from believing this random nonsense. I don’t think it’s length of education but instead quality. That or maybe stupidity is genetic,

      I’m all for being skeptic and always questioning what we’re told, but any sensible person will accept that in being skeptical, the truth will always shine brighter than anything else. Basically if you always ask ‘why’, eventually the answer will be beyond obvious – and it’s definitely not fckn chemtrails or vaccines causing autism

      I’ve found that many of these ‘skeptics’ and all them lot are usually just using random conspiracies to loosely connect to some form of prejudice. E.G ‘planes are poisoning us with chemtrails and all the airlines are owned by non-whites, so all non-white people are evil’ it’s beyond moronic lol

      The stupidest people I encountered was when I was in Trinity. I guarantee you are one of the people who quote your simple ass degree to prove your intelligence
