  • That’s the long and short of it. Your average American has the functional understanding of a five year old because they don’t know what they haven’t been taught which is most of everything.

    You ask a first grade class if they want ice cream for breakfast and they will basically never say no.

    They want it because it makes them happy without understanding what makes them healthy.

    Most people are level 1 Skyrim characters and only understand explicitly what they level up by doing… Which is usually as little as possible.

    Many facets of society have been turned into Skinner boxes that reward people dopamine for doom scrolling, isolating, or being angry.

    Even if one wants to argue the downfall of society was accidental and not malicious, those in power never really seemed to do anything but make shit worse regardless.

    Even if the system is working as designed… This is the fucking end result and inspires no hope there won’t be a world wide economic collapse.
