Broadcasting stupidity

Apparently, broadcasting ideas that sound insightful or emotionally appealing—yet may not withstand rigorous critique—can have surprisingly high RoI.

The majority audience—often operating without connective knowledge, intuitive models, or strong critical-thinking tools—readily agrees and absorbs. Their attention, offered as a kind of currency, can then be converted into social fluidity, where most visible movement occurs.

Meanwhile, individuals who invest in rigorous analysis, deep research, and precise, localized decision-making often expend far more energy without obtaining comparable levels of social fluidity.

This dynamic resembles the contrast between simpler prokaryotic cells and more complex eukaryotic ones. While eukaryotes support more intricate systems and energy generation, they also carry structural burdens that limit speed and agility. Prokaryotes, in contrast, move with fewer constraints, proliferating rapidly—though their rapid spread rarely results in anything more than self-replication.

In conclusion, where certain outcomes are prioritized, a calculated loss of precision or dignity may yield gains in elegance and visibility.
