Are People Today More Stupid? by MrBrownJay1(m): 10:44pm On Apr 12
someone wrote about marrying a smart woman bla bla bla and i asked a simple question to know how smart people really are, but it seem nobody could answer the simple question... so let me ask this here:

A MAN GOES TO SEE HIS DOCTOR AND PAYS 120K IN TOTAL (for doctor appointment + parking). HOW MUCH DOES THE PARKING COSTS, IF KNOWING THAT THE PARKING COSTS 100K LESS THAN THE DOC APPOINTMENT?

1. Parking = 10k
Doctor's Appointment= 110k

2. Not being able to solve it should not mean that the person is not smart. Knowing fully well that people have different areas of strengths and weakness. For example will you call a professor of mathematics dumb because he's not able to answer a question in biology?

i DO believe people today are not using their brains as they should and thus they are definitely NOT getting smarter. even basic math, they are quick to bring out their phone to do it. as much as technology is great, it aint for everything.

You have a point though. As life gets easier, most people start to get too comfortable with just surviving on the barest minimum

No.

Just that, the media also suffers from the Pareto principle or the 80/20 percent rule. Where 20 percent are more visible than the other 80 percent. Its like this everywhere. For example, you wear 20 percent of your clothes more than all in your wardrobe.

People are not more stupid, the media just put the true idiots in the spotlight. Bobriksy for example is everywhere, but how many Nigerians are trans? I haven't even met a single Nigerian trans in my life.

So yea. It's the spotlight effect. Where a tiny minority occupies the majority of the screens.

The first problem is that this question is not real and is created to deceieve and confuse and snatch them away from real eyeity, so that they start living in delusions in danger full abandonment of real eyeity.

For when people go to the hospital, car parking is either free or you have notice of the amount you are supposed to pay for parking, even before you enter the hospital to rack up more bills.

Hence the first difficulty is trying to appreciate the question and the practical need and benefit for addressing the question.

And since there is no benefit, it would be discarded.

I now know these questions are meant to control people to act and think in a certain way rather than our earlier education which is basis was just for people to think and freely think in a practical and profitable way.

We r not that perfect to answer that question as we r not in the position of where that happened, with my own knowledge I think you should be able to answer that as you were there when it happened and tell me how this could be solved just Incase we come across it personally on our own

Why should a medical facility charge you for a parking space separately, instead of combining the cost...?
