how is this so accurate?
Easy. All these people grew up on the internet looking at the same websites, reading the same meme, laughing at the same threads.
Universal literacy was supposed to educate the common man to control his environment. Once he could read and write he would have a mind fit to rule. So ran the democratic doctrine. But instead of a mind, universal literacy has given him rubber stamps, rubber stamps inked with advertising slogans, with editorials, with published scientific data, with the trivialities of the tabloids and the platitudes of history, but quite innocent of original thought. Each man's rubber stamps are the duplicates of millions of others, so that when those millions are exposed to the same stimuli, all receive identical imprints. It may seem an exaggeration to say that the American public gets most of its ideas in this wholesale fashion. The mechanism by which ideas are disseminated on a large scale is propaganda, in the broad sense of an organized effort to spread a particular belief or doctrine.

Isn't the phrase closer to "what is stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence"?

And I thought I was a real intellectual in my days.... That's exactly what I pested my teachers and fellow students with. In the '90s, though.
Sounds like you were! School is exactly when a person ought to learn this stuff.
"Think different."
"YES! WE ALL THINK DIFFERENT!"
In unison, of course, like Life Of Brian.

"I don't..."
Wait, im 20 something?
Thank god I has this phase at 16.
Thank someone you had the phase at all.
I am 17 and that's me and it doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
The trick is to read even more philosophy and become even more insufferable.

I‘m in this picture and I don’t like it…
Incredibly accurate. It’s nuts how they all could be one person.
lol this is so painfully accurate, especially in internet culture where people feel inadequate in real life so they spend their time online wielding their swords of intellect.

what if we live in a simulation
Matrix (1999) was way ahead of you. Other works of fiction as well.
