I don’t know about you, but when I took classes on this stuff we weren’t like, staring at the pictures of the authors. We were talking about the material. The faces I picture in my head when I think of this stuff aren’t the people who wrote the books we read and discussed, it’s my professors and the people who were in my classes.
Nobody like, stares at the pictures, but if people like, actually studied and digested the source material instead of glancing at amusing blurbs and telling themselves they’re smart, they would be able to express more complex, coherent thoughts about things like politics and economics and post fewer memes and “capitalism bad!” chants that fill most threads. In spite of unparalleled access to information and in spite of educations they’ll be paying for until death, modern liberals are collectively as lazy-minded as conservatives. They just respond to different stimuli to trigger cheering, booing, and pressing BUY buttons.

Yeah, that’s the part I agree with you on. I just don’t think recognizing pictures is a meaningful metric as far as that’s concerned.
