HUMANS ARE STUPID

Not all of us, fortunately, but damn near all.

In case you never heard of him, there’s a guy named Mark Dice who lives in the Huntington Beach, CA area, who does “man in the street” online videos where he interviews people walking by about their views of different subjects, and he never fails to amaze me.

In his latest one, he has a bunch of $20 bills in one hand and a one ounce Canadian Maple Leaf coin in the other and asks people which they want, the $20 or the gold. The first dozen people he asked took the $20 instead of the $2000 gold coin, so he put away the $20’s and offered just $10 instead and everyone still took the money instead of the gold.

I was blown away. I had no idea so many of us were really that fucking stupid.
