What a dupe that guy is for believing there are known percentages for all those things... Plus even asking people if they know these things is going to cause some people to go learn them shifting the percentages immediately.

It's tiresome to see any kind of "X% of people don't know Y" with no citation.

You can just say anything and people will believe worse.

Also no real analysis or diagnosis or probing of the info. Just a bland "heh, people are stupid aren't they?" doomerism.

And then there's me. If I think the fastest way to get this person I don't know to stop talking is by claiming I'm dumb....then suddenly I don't know what color grass is.

That post made me wish for a second I knew people like that. Then I went back to being happy I don't.
