The bell curve of intelligence strikes again! This meme perfectly captures how scientific understanding often comes full circle. The simpletons at the low end of the IQ spectrum confidently declare "water is blue" because, well, look at the ocean! The galaxy brains at the high end reach the same conclusion but through actual understanding of light absorption properties. Meanwhile, the poor souls in the middle—those dangerous "just enough knowledge to be wrong" types—are having existential crises screaming "WATER HAS NO COLOR!!!"
Truth is, pure water is indeed colorless in small amounts, but it preferentially absorbs red wavelengths and appears faintly blue in large volumes. It's the perfect representation of how science education works—you learn something basic, then learn it's wrong, then eventually learn a more nuanced version that sometimes resembles the original naive understanding. The circle of scientific life!
