This is the new generation of Lee.

Who knows? I have a nice big list of Ignorant Elitists that we haven't heard from for a while. It could be any of them because they like to come back under a different name to bypass the twit filters.

What is the significance of these creatures?

They are insignificant.

What do they teach us?

Don't doom scroll on your phone anymore. :)

1) There are people who have grown up with developmental deficiencies
and the TV has been their crutch for too many years.

Rather say that they have been purposely mis-educated by their mis-educated parents and our failed education system. They have been conditioned to let the "experts" (as delivered through the TV) do their thinking for them.

Most people have built-in error correction systems. If you believe X is true, but you keep seeing evidence that X is false, then at some point you will question your belief and adjust.

But these people have had that built-in error correction system conditioned out of their brains.

2) There are people who live miserable lives and instead of accepting responsibility for their failures, they blame the president.

They have always gotten awards for doing nothing. They have been conditioned that just participating is good enough. Then they get into the real world where "trying" is not good enough and that attacks their belief system.

Worse, they have been told all their lives how great, smart, wonderful, etc. that they are. So the idea that they are wrong is painful because the alternative is to face the fact that they are not that great, smart, wonderful, etc.

But until they DO face that fact, they can't improve. The thing is that they were programmed to avoid facing that fact.

The end result is an angry, stupid, useless person who can't get out of the hole he willingly stays in. Perfect fodder for the Elitist machine who promises free stuff.

3) There are people who if you want to control what they do, you just
need to be a TV broadcaster.

But the TV broadcaster is under control too.

Learnin is fun.

But learning is not something you get from TV anymore.

I wish that he/it wquld read this message, but they're also programmed to ignore all that which is contrary to the TV. "We now return to our originally scheduled programming."

I know, but the minority population was born without it. I would love to see a documentary on TV about it, but that would be the last TV broadcast.

There are some rate circumstances where these creatures become useful: In case a noisy truck was driving past while you were watching something on TV, and you didn't hear what they said, just ask Joseph because he heard everything they said and he'll definitely repeat it for you verbatim.

Of course. He can't accept the idea that he's wrong and continues to do things that fail.

The definition of "insane" is "doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome."

Rather they had it "educated" out of them.

Self-awareness and the error correction mechanism is a thing that's taught - by parents and schools.

Well, Joseph is a bot. :)
