A rich higher-IQ person manipulating 80-IQ dupes is a wonder to behold:
I particularly like the use of the caps and the “have I got this right” with dots instead of a question mark. Just the “have I got this right. . .” is like a key that immediately opens the brains of our low-IQ brethren to absolutely any sort of manipulation.
The dupes are jumping up and down with joy like trained poodles.
I noticed this otherwise trivial tweet in my thread because just this morning I read a very similarly worded email in which our faculty union is using the same rhetorical devices to distract its members from the plans to fire them. I don’t know yet if it’s going to be as successful as Piers Morgan’s little manipulation.
This is what I keep saying about cognitive inequality. The world grows more complex, and the intellectually less capable are so grateful for any crumb that makes it looks simpler that they gladly assist in their own despoliation. All that a smart person needs to do is to signal “I’m one of you, I’m also confused, make it make sense, have I got this right, and world peace”, and the grateful masses will experience profound devotion in return for this pretense at understanding and solidarity.
