Une étude menée par des chercheurs de l'université de Chicago aux Etats-Unis indique que plus d'un tiers des américains ne sont pas "à la hauteur" pour avoir un opinion sensée sur les grands sujets de société et voter. Pour ces chercheurs, les avis de cette catégorie de personnes sont tellement faussés qu'ils nuisent à la société en les exprimant, notamment lors des élections.
Doit-on imposer des tests de QI et de culture générale pour tous les électeurs ?
Study: 38 Percent Of People Not Actually Entitled To Their Opinion
CHICAGO—In a surprising refutation of the conventional wisdom on opinion entitlement, a study conducted by the University of Chicago's School for Behavioral Science concluded that more than one-third of the U.S. population is neither entitled nor qualified to have opinions.
"On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced," said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz, who based the findings on hundreds of telephone, office, and dinner-party conversations compiled over a three-year period. "While people have long asserted that it takes all kinds, our research shows that American society currently has a drastic oversupply of the kinds who don't have any good or worthwhile thoughts whatsoever. We could actually do just fine without them."
In 2002, Fultz's team shook the academic world by conclusively proving the existence of both bad ideas during brainstorming and dumb questions during question-and-answer sessions.
