My question all the time is :

Why is it that stupid people get more recognition on social media than intelligent people ?. So I’ve reached a certain point of view. Even if a person doesn’t have the right thing, he will accept the evidence or fact of the right things.

First of all, this question comes from knowing the use of social media rather than intelligence. In a nutshell, here are the reasons.

(Social media sells attention not wisdom)

The social media platform shows us the way it is shown. What a person takes the time to see is what attracts overall attention. So, the more people spend time on an article or a video that got their attention, the more views count. These are what the algorithms encourage:.

1. What makes them angry

2. What we feel sorry for.

3. Envy / Patience

In short, simple and quick things are the best in the community. Deep thoughts need time to think, and no one likes that stress.

(“Stupidity” is easy, but intelligence is exhausting)

For example, being keen to hear a wise man speak, meditating in a different way and makes us ask ourselves many questions. So when wise people are talking, it is important to watch every second, understand the speech. When a stupid person speaks, it doesn’t matter. The ears and eyes are enough.

(Most people love someone who looks like him)

Generally dislike those who think society is not related to themselves. A normal thing makes them happy. One does not like what he cannot naturally understand, and he does not see what he does not like. When I say I don’t see what I don’t like, I don’t mean I don’t care what I hate. Also pays attention to what he hates and annoys. But not only does he not understand but also hates it, he does not allow to hear or look at it. So they don’t hesitate to walk away from those who test them. “Simple and funny” person will be loved by the people.

( attention and money )

Ancient societies had one huge center of attention they ruled, and that was art. The wise men were professions from consulting kings, painting and singing to teaching religion. At that time a wise or wise person will be heard and respected. And then in the Dark age, industrialism came. Those who can do machine technology starting from hand skill had a chance to be wanted. Today in the age of AI, the thing has become the opposite. The technologies that artificial intelligence brought to make life easier is also a cancer that encourages human scandal. Nowadays money is the focus. And a lot of attention comes from social media. What social media buys is not an idea, it is a view.

(Wise people are not the ones who go with the times; they are either late or too early)

Smart people seek wealth of ideas not money. When they hear new platforms are out, they’re hesitant to try it first. So they are one step behind on social media. Even if they enter and start, they won’t be liked by this stupid society. Because they tell the truth and they don’t lie!. That’s why I tell you the world is not respecting idiots, it loves attention!. Let me take out the philosophies that are the core of this idea and tell you one or two.

Friedrich Nietzsche – The Psychology of Herd

«Herds are always like this; they follow a person because he runs in front of them, not for any other reason! »

According to Nietzsche’s idea of herd mentality, most people have social behavior of accepting what is coming from them as truth rather than truth. The mob hates the person who raises challenging questions, then follows strictly what entertains so that they don’t think differently. Social media will open up more opportunities for those in Herd Logic to be investigated. Nietzsche says about this: «Truth doesn’t make people comfortable, nightmares make them more comfortable»

(Arthur Schopenhauer – The Emotions of society)

If Schopenhauer writes his opinion on this idea, two big chapters will come out. Next time I will take that from parts of the book and analyze it. Shopin Hour tells us that the majority of people are led by their emotions, not by their minds. They give them time to feel and follow, but they stay away from those who make them think. So noisy content appears, but quiet wisdom slowly disappears. Here Schopenhauer has a saying that says: “If a person has something he loves, it is not because it is true, but because it makes him happy.” »

Franz Kafka – Empty Fame and Alienation or dying with empty fame)

Kafka tells us that human beings are dying and disappearing in a system that they don’t deserve. That’s why a person who is presented on social media is less fake than his real identity. So empty popularity abounds, meaningless things fade slowly. Kafka says this in regards to this: “Popularity without meaning destroys intelligence!”. »

When I tell you the three ideas in brief, being like Niche «The actor» or a stage person will gain more popularity. A good speaker will be given a place more than a good thinker; the person who analyzes the book will get more recognition than the one who wrote the book. Nietzsche says this on his idea The actor: “Many live like actors, not like people. »

Schopenhauer sees fame as borrowing from other places. Even if we get it today, we will lose it tomorrow. The hand that clapped for us today will not hesitate to slap you tomorrow. Let me give you a quote that suits this idea: “It’s easy to find happiness, but it’s hard to make it stay with you!. »

Kafkam is described as viewer prison or imprisonment of believing after seeing. This also shows that people live in what they see everyday. It’s considered that there’s nothing we don’t care about. Let me close the program with Kafka proverb:«When we only have a visible life, our life will be small. »

At the end of the day, even if noise helps us, silence will burn us. A person who is seen will be respected but a person who thinks will be thrown away!. Social media doesn’t encourage wisdom but simple feelings. A wise man does not make noise, therefore he is invisible. And the thinking goes on, and the idea lives without the idea.

Mark Twain says: “Noise will prove nothing, often a hen that lays eggs will disturb the village with noises as if it has an astroid!. »
