Think about someone with an IQ of 100. Not terribly smart? That's the average. Half of people can't make that cut. Remember in elementary or even 8th grade all the kids that could only read 3 words at a time before stuttering? Critical thinking is sorely lacking in an age of unlimited access to information. Earlier today I went out shopping and saw four or five people wearing a mask but only covering their mouth. Right afterwards I saw a guy pull up to a gas pump on the wrong side and try to stretch the hose to fill up his SUV.
I would say 85% of people aren't entirely sure of what they believe or why, let alone formulating and developing those beliefs themselves, as opposed to being a sponge and absorbing whatever they're exposed to and appeals to them for various reasons. Of course, none of this is new or really surprising. We all know what a midwit is. I don't mind that these people have the right to speak and be heard, but I'm appalled that now (because of social media) we're expected to attentively listen them and take them at face value.

Damn, I missed the cover submissions. I'll post a few images I had in mind anyways.
