People have been mocking stupidity for AGES. It is featured in stories as old as civilization itself.

The internet didn't invent it.

This MF'er openly mocked getting safety certifications for his Craft. He thought he was the smartest guy in every room he walked into.

He even made a kooky ass accusation that the safety tests by independent experts was just an excuse by his "competitors" to keep him down.

So yeah, this dude absolutely deserves to be mocked for taking paying customers onto an experimental Submersible.

In the town where I was born
lived 5 guys who sailed the sea
they told us of their lives
in the land of wannabe submarines

So they descended to the depths
til they found the pressure intense
they briefly lived beneath the waves
in a wannabe submarine

They briefly lived in an imploding submarine
imploding submarine, imploding submarine
they briefly lived in an imploding submarine
imploding submarine, imploding submarine

Jordan Peterson did a talk thingy (it's on YouTube) with James Lindsay that puts a name on it. Unconstrained creativity. Their social constructs are not subjected to critical thinking or a counter-argument. It is just out there growing free. No one is editing their stupid thoughts.

I guess they missed the jokes about the Challenger. I was in grade school and remember almost immediately afterwards things like: What were the last words heard? "What's this red button do?"

Now, wishing people to die and saying things like so and so should have been in the sub is not great.

But joking about what happened is normal.

Stockton Rush is (or rather, was ) one of those people about whom the more you read, the more you shake your head.

The guy was a complete and total idiot, a con man whose money insulated him from the natural results his idiocy until he found out that Nature is far less forgiving than humans.  And he got away with it because his wealth and confidence gave him an aura of respectability which the Media didn't question.

Just a casual observation but those that seem to gleefully take part of it at any chance that they can get, are either living in a high stressful job and need a way to vent out to feel better about themselves or are living shitty lives and need an escape to mock at the unfortune of others. Sometimes we get to see those shitty or stressful lives being lived because they're going to inevitably post about on here or in team asking for privacy but have no issues with the public seeing them mocking dead people here in GD.

Hopefully no one will come in here telling me I am wrong, that happens to also be one of the above so I can remind them that they are incorrect and then remind them of the threads they've made posting their woes

Then there are actual communists who like the ACAB'er twits, will say the eat the rich edge lord because they are inhuman POS's and should be fed to something in minecraft, of course.

However I agree that being deliberately stupid should be mocked but at those who really didn't know any better or not even their fault, is where I draw the line.

This. X1000.

Nobody mocked Howard Hughes for flight testing his own designs. It almost cost him his life a few times.

But, what he didn’t do was design a plane using untested materials, declare it good to go and start carrying passengers, operating it beyond the limits of what some of its components were certified to withstand.

People didn’t question Stockton Rush because he was one of them—he was a wealthy, successful entrepreneur who spoke the same language and had a similar background to the wealthy passengers he marketed his product to. Surely a man of success and wealth would have done his due diligence in the construction and operation of this sub. Right?

Of course there are also a lot of rich guys who, because they’re successful at one thing, think they know a lot about everything and lead with their massive egos. It would be a sign of weakness to not take the trip. Let’s do this!

I’m not an engineer but, I’m smart about some things. I don’t trust carnival rides that are trucked from place to place and assembled by people with a lower IQ and motivation than my dog. And, they’re not drug tested.

I would sure as hell do my due diligence before getting on a submersible or a privately operated spaceship. I just quit a job flying GIV’s because I was seeing some shady maintenance issues going on. Trust but verify…in all aspects of life.

Those passengers (other than the kid) trusted but didn’t verify. They fucked up and paid the price. The memes are just a warning for those considering something like this in the future.
