    People as a collective always appear stupid, all individuals within society have their own unique life and motivations, but if you group them together then that group of people always seem moronic regardless of perspective.

    Lack of intrinsic motivation to learn, increasing toleration towards ignorance. Kinda hard to give a root cause though.

    Society is stupid because people don't make coherent threads.

    I find it ironic that a Chelsea fan started a topic like this.

    Because stupidity is celebrated in society in the names of "banter" and "having a laugh". Nothing wrong with that, but that's the way it's going now.

    It's down to TV.

    My argument:

    'The Only Way Is Essex'
    'Made In Chelsea'
    'Geordie Shore'
    'Desperate Scousewives'
    Etc etc...

    Maybe our stupid society is responsible for an education system that isn't up to scratch?
