and that generalization is different from me saying that most 'free' thinkers aren't necessarily blind idealists but they're extremely L wing, hold fast to their views, and thus want to not believe anything
they say how?

It concerns me, but as you've made it clear: It doesn't concern you. We'll continue to become more brainless, and mind-controlled, like the society in 1984, without ever objecting. That's apparently what you would like, if I am to interpret your posts correctly.

how is it that tv ratings are indicative of social intelligence? broad generalizations about how things
should be concern me, from both the left and right wings.
you say i want to be controlled, whatever. what's a free society supposed to look like? what's government supposed to be?
I control myself, my shortcomings are my own, my wants are my own, same as my needs, and
I am the one responsible for them. i don't think my crap smells good enough to go around dictating to people to open up their minds because they listen to news i don't particularly agree with.
