WATCH: Why does Trump's image appear under searches for 'idiot?' Google CEO Pichai answers.

[Equinox Moon]

Wikipedia:
Idiot was formerly a legal and psychiatric category of profound intellectual disability, in which a person's mental age is two years or less, and he or she cannot guard against common dangers. Along with terms like moron, imbecile, and cretin, the term is now archaic and offensive,[1] and was replaced by the term "profound mental retardation" (which has itself since been replaced by other terms).

Nowadays, "idiot" is a derogatory term for a stupid or foolish person.

1. Wiki goes further...

The word "idiot" comes from the Greek ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs 'a private person, individual', 'a private citizen' (as opposed to an official), 'a common man', 'a person lacking professional skill, layman', later 'unskilled', 'ignorant' from ἴδιος, idios 'private', 'one's own'. In Latin, idiota was borrowed in the meaning 'uneducated', 'ignorant', 'common', and in Late Latin came to mean 'crude, illiterate, ignorant'. In French, it kept the meaning of 'illiterate', 'ignorant', and added the meaning 'stupid' in the 13th century. In English, it added the meaning 'mentally deficient' in the 14th century.

I think this more extensive definition fits the ignoranus like a second coat of orange tanning spray.

2. The real question is, why WOULDN'T it appear?

3. Exactly, it is but a reflection of the collective, is another way Pichai could have said it.

5. Ms Lofgren was excellent. Pichai didn't really do a good job explaining it.

She put in the record exactly how stupid the republian claims are, as well as touching on the real issues that need to be addressed.

And "gasp" she's no spring chicken yet somehow managed to grasp the concept of an internet search engine. So much for the stupid "they're to old to understand the internet" characterizations which I find offensive.

6. Just tried it myself

Comes up complete with pictures of Individual # 1. Things are as they should be.

[George II]

7. It comes up more than just once....

First image is from the wikipedia entry for "idiot"
The next three are donald trump
Next one is the two trump brothers
Next FIVE are donald again

The first appearance of a person other than trump is five or six later, it's Kanye West, then a trump or two and then Michael Cohen.

Hysterical, but so true.

8. Trumps image also overwhelmingly appears on a Google search of "genius" but noone asked Pichai about

that.

Well, actually it doesn't, but it does if you Google "stable genius" and click on Images

9. Do an image search for the word dumb

Prepare your eyes

[Mr.Bill]

10. Same reason Mitch McConnell

shows up in images under a search for "criminal".

It's because it's the truth.

11. Because the search returns accurate results.
