Well the new world order is what the people in power want, but they only need smartphones and tv to do it. No chips in the brain needed, people are idiots.

It's a big problem, more if in the education system is based only on the in the accumulation of data and on the other hand without putting priorities in reasoning, worse when science is strongly influenced by absurd religious beliefs. They want usefull and submissive subjects, not thinking people.

I was one of those people in college, the only reason I even graduated was because I found tutors to get me through my required math and science credits. I'm smart enough to know that there are many things I don't understand so I listen to who do understand them to not do that is like going to a lawyer and explaining the practice of law or to a mechanic and telling them how to fix your car.
Dunning-Kruger effect in full force in a land called Distopia States of Amerika
Not only there, it's a world wide phenomenon. I keep hearing this kind of shit from people here in Germany and my family in Brazil.
Same here in Belgium

Yet another reminder that all the mentions of Dunning-Kruger are a better display of it's perceived effect than the original study ever was. In the original study, people correctly predicted their performance relative to others, but the discrepancy was in the scale of that difference, which can be attributed to numerous factors. Dumb people just took it as "stupid people think they're smart" and run around saying "Dunning-Kruger" to sound smarter... oh the irony.
And yes, given two mentions in the above text, this is, indeed, a suicide by words.
You'll never be a writer but you still learned how to write (if somewhat poorly).

The dogma of scientism and the obsession with STEM is just as responsible for this situation as anti intellectualism is.
Dogma of science is an oximoron, if it is dogmatic it isn't science.
SCIENTISM
I assume that i will disagree, but i think it mainly is because "the dogma of science" is a phrase that i immediately recognize as a right wing talking point.
But since you kind of only put that out there and i don't expect right wing idiots on Lemmy i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask you to kindly elaborate a bit.
What is the dogma of science? Who holds it? What sciences? All of them? Just STEM? And speaking of, who is obsessed with STEM? How and where does that obsession express itself?
SCIENTISM
Damn, even threatened with being call right-wing. Science folks always balk when it is ever brought up. I suppose I can understand having to "defend" scientific findings from the dogmas of creationists, but this doesn't mean science and scientists are not vulnerable to dogma or to the very epistemological supremacism that has been the intellectual basis for genocide and empire building.
