      I wanted to say that nobody in their right mind would take these seriously. But then I remembered the general state of mind of people.

        I saw someone else post this:

        The right state of mind is boring. People only want boring when excitement becomes tiresome.

      Except that it is clearly satire - it’s poking fun at the idea of anti-intellectualism.

      Having said that, one could argue Poe’s law - it can be hard to tell these days what’s satire and what’s not, and not everybody is laughing at anti-intellectualism
