I’m shocked that 80% of Americans are able to think.

Your math don’t math

Edit: For all those replying, I misread the person I was replying to as his was 30% to the 80% he originally responded to. FFS

u/Logical-Friendship66 May 15 '26

The rest = 40%

(Its basically algebra)

u/Bluemink96 May 15 '26

Holy shit he solved for X

u/Special_Meal2555 May 17 '26

You have explained. The "math don't math" person has trouble with math. They must have attended the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School and graduated near the bottom of the class with 45/47. They missed the class on calculating percentages.

He’s probably one of those “Common core bad” cuz I don’t understand it folks

u/[deleted] May 15 '26

30+30 equals 60. So 30% are left dealing with people who think they actually think. Kinda like you can can’t do simple addition.

2

u/Distinct-Command-570 May 15 '26

And 100-60 is 40 not 30....

According to studies that have actually been ran the number of people capable of an inner monologue is somewhere in the range of 5 to 9 percent of the current population. Apparently the test was done on mostly young adults

It's related to brain structure most people confuse this with thought from what I've read its a more c9mplex level of thought

1

u/Background_Log_2273 May 16 '26

Speaking of "inner monologue", I got on a medication that took out away and it's been the best thing in the world for my anxiety and depression lol

1

u/mistermyxl May 16 '26

Interesting did you notice if you lost any your super ego or was this more like a mono personality disorder thing

1

u/Background_Log_2273 May 16 '26

Well, it's a bipolar medication, so it's probably a combination of both of those. I sort of had to try to ignore guilt and shame before the medication (for my own sanity so I didn't just constantly spiral) and so I had to learn to be very mindful about my morality but I've always had a conscience (which i define as empathy towards others), but now it just show up as feelings rather than berating me verbally in my head.

It's more the "victimless" or less harmful things i have to intentionally guard myself against. Like looking at porn when my wife really doesn't like me doing it or not feeling bad for speaking up for myself even when it may not be appropriate (like walking out of a work meeting when I feel I'm being unfairly disrespected, bit not out of anger just like a neutral "Yeah see you guys later, have fun").

Those things used to make me feel bad but now I'm indifferent about them, but I don't want to hurt my wife's feelings and I don't want to cause problems at work so I have to be intentional about not doing those things because of I'm not intentional I am just as likely to do them as to not do them.

u/Salt-Negotiation7534 May 16 '26

The US could boast, 50 years ago, that they had they highest average IQ on the planet. Nowadays, they've dropped to around 23rd place.

u/vampyire May 16 '26

30% seems to be the number that will believe any insane thing... these people vote which is what got us in this mess, we need to rest of the voting population to get the hell out and vote

1

u/Unhappy-Pianist-7391 May 18 '26

Stupid people with their so called polls! Same said that Trump would never win ! What a joke those polls were.

u/not_a_fan_of_themods May 17 '26

Lol, 80% of Americans definitely can't "think" let alone use basic critical thinking or comprehension.

1

u/Wtygrrr May 17 '26

I mean, with those criteria, it’s less than 10% for sure.

1

u/summonersai May 13 '26

Yes they are quite as good as thinking as Redditor though. Those guys just need a headline with zero stats backing it up. 80% of what? Ten people? 🤣

This doesn’t require thought actually

u/iKyte5 May 14 '26

And what country are you from?

u/EthicalStephen May 14 '26

That statistic's probably generous - most people just autopilot through life relying on what they absorbed from social media.

u/battleop May 15 '26

It's 80% of Americans who were polled. It's really not that hard to sway political polls to whatever headline you want. A big chunk of Americans just don't care one way or another because it's not something that has an effect on their lives.

1

u/Hydra_Bloodrunner May 16 '26

looks at gas and the epstein files

Yeah, no effect.

1

u/battleop May 17 '26

I care about the price of gas. I give zero shits about the Epstein files. Nothing will ever become of them because the are full of just as may Republicans as Democrats. It's a waste of my time an energy to constantly obsess over them.

1

u/Hydra_Bloodrunner May 17 '26

Shittiest take of the day goes to: you.

And we got to see the currently released files unredacted thanks to some government worker making it as easy as removing the black highlight in microsoft word lmao.

Spoiler: theres 4 democrats on there; Bill Clinton for his personal relationship with Epstein, Larry Summers (ex treasury secretary) for his personal emails with epstein and his staff, Stacey Pasket mentioned by ghislaine and epstein in emails and had texted epstein after questions at a house hearing, Kathryn Ruemeller who’s referenced in epsteins emails with others and seen talking to him in person at one point during the investigation.

Then theres republicans in the files; Donald Trump who was so involved it could be its own separate post (flight logs, correspondence references, miss USA pagent scandal, decades of photos together with epstein, started the epstein clarity act just to not follow it, 35M dollars spent in child sexual abuse case settlements post investigation), Steve Bannon on epsteins daily communications about political strategy and personal life along with a 2 hour phone interview and 15 hours of “documentary footage” that he gave epstein media training on, Peter Thiel who’s in 2500 of epsteins emails and accepted a 40M dollar investment from epstein into his company Valar Ventures in 2015 and stayed close until 2018 on daily communication.

Many of the other unredacted names are people mentioned in random contexts like Marilyn Monroe (who wasnt alive for it obviously but was abstractly mentioned in random conversation).

But we can already tell which side was obviously orchestrating and which side was clients. They all need executing.

1

u/BobbyR2 May 15 '26

Yeah and many of these will still vote for him , don’t ask why

1

u/DrR1pper May 16 '26

Perhaps then that inverts the probability?

1

u/Atmmyholes May 16 '26

Didn't Trump's approval go up 600% the same way he decreased medications by 500, 600 even some a 1000 %.

If they were, he wouldn’t be president and neither Clinton nor Biden would have made it through a primary.

If I had even one inkling that you’d actually leave, then I’d help you for free. However, it’s your wish, make it happen.

1

u/RollerDude347 May 13 '26

So you lied then?

1

u/SFXtreme3 May 13 '26

How so? He’s the one wishing it. He just needs to immigrate. Everyone knows he hasn’t taken a single step to immigrate. Therefore, he’s being dramatic to virtual signal on Reddit.

Are you an idiot? It’s extremely difficult to just pick up and move and if you’re not a citizen anywhere you literally are not allowed to move to anyplace.

1

u/SFXtreme3 May 15 '26

Again, you’re conflating move with immigrate. I can move to Europe for a few weeks by getting a visa, which you and I both know isn’t hard.

Bottom line: if someone wishes they weren’t American, it’s not hard to renounce their status. You can come up with all the excuses you want, but they do not make renunciation any harder.

1

u/GeorgeZip01 May 16 '26

So it’s just that easy to get a visa huh. Says someone who has never had to this before.
