I see morons all around me, walking on the streets, driving cars, the radio and tv; morons whose heads evidently hurt when subjected to information.
Which is why I've been trying to keep my bloggs shorter.

The American Psychological Association has recently published some new research and evidently they’ve only just picked up on some cues which the dismissively named ‘conspiracy theorists” have known all along to be more than theory when they brand most of the population as “sheeple” who’s unspoken life motto is “ignorance is bliss”.
“The less people know about important complex issues…… the more they want to avoid becoming well-informed”
Naturally; being an American body the complex issues they cite don’t include geopolitical power struggles. We’d [some of us] hope that people perhaps take some interest where the issue of war and killing children or even adults is concerned.
Don’t get your hopes up; don’t be the foolish optimist.
“And the more urgent the issue, the more people want to remain unaware,”

“Philosophy” Greek “φιλοσοφία”: φιλο: friend/love of, σοφία : wisdom
When people have been raised to think that “philosophy” is exclusively the domain of just a few that choose it as a university topic, it’s not a wonder that “wisdom” is so removed from the sheeple.
It’s not a wonder that people can be and are lead to the slaughter or lead to slaughter others.

“participants who felt most affected by the economic recession avoided information challenging the government’s ability to manage the economy. However, they did not avoid positive information”
The average sheeple/morons that haven’t looked outside the shadows on the cave wall; actually seek out reasons to reinforce their reliance on the master.
The ignorant, seek reinforcement of their ignorance.

Perhaps these learned psychologists will over the next ten years do another study to show that sheeple actually become defensively indignant when offered information which conflicts with their ignorant views; something which I and any “conspiracy theorist” know, and Plato described over two thousand years ago in his allegory of the cave.
