Just so I understand this correctly, is this a post mocking 20-something year olds by showing topics they believe to be niche, complex, or exclusive to an intelligent audience? And that by understanding these topics they are “propped up” compared to their peers?

Yeah these fuckin nerds are using logic and thought to understand the world.
I‘m in this picture and I don’t like it…
Those people are in their 30s now lol
That's agist prescriptivism!
I don't see anything wrong with any of it. Why is thinking or speaking of any of those things being framed as a negative?
None of those things are negatives, this is just anti-intellectualism. Maybe OP has been corrected by douches in the past. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks OP is trying to normalize shaming critical thinking while finding like-minded individuals.
You must be fun at parties. Maybe it's just self-deprecating humour?
Isn't the phrase closer to "what is stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence"?
Hitchens's razor. Posterboy of those people who make atheism their whole personality.
This post would have gotten more mileage on Reddit.
In the right communities, yeah, but lemmy is highly fragmented
I mean, a lot of these things are good things to consider/know about. For example, you do always have to consider that correlation is not necessarily causation. They're not really considering the most deep of philosophy, but thinking is generally better than not thinking.
I bet OP thinks that Ben Shapiro qualifies as "thinker"
