The dumbiing down of society???

[Warpy]

5. Ever read old high school text books from the 1930s and before?

There is no comparison with the pap they give kids these days. We've been dumbed down for 80 years now and it's showing rather badly. Most people, when confronted with huge blocks of text, skip to the end, hoping for a tl:dr summary.

Part of that is time constraint, there is just too much information to plow through in any given day and we have to sleep sometime. That's why the KISS method is necessary for presentations, resumés, and other things that should be "just the facts, ma'am."

More of it is the fact that people often don't read at all unless it's a short article in a pop culture magazine in the throne room or a minimal amount of text on a computer screen.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the future, where dumbed down people are now suckers for raging fascism.
