Our parents generation thinks we’re the dumbest yet.
(maybe there is some truth to what he's saying because my dumbass can't find a high resolution picture of his book.)
The youth being the worst yet is not a new idea.
“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”
-Socrates, over 2,000 years ago
We aren’t dumber. We’re just the first generation to be
cognitively raped by technology, by Quality.
The education system is Stone Age drudgery compared to the
dopamine inducing rewards the Internet, social media, and sex offers the youth.
Our brains have never been as stimulated as they have been the last decade (asterisks
for hippies on the west coast during the late 60s).
Our generation is shying away from the surface level
dullness of mathematics, mechanical and analytical sciences, and logic itself. This
perceived dullness is caused only by a lack of understanding. Science is beautiful
bro.
Instead, we want to make music, make art, be popular, be powerful,
and be perceived as attractive.
Our abandonment of logic leaves us susceptible to the most ridiculous
and idiotic systems of thought. Nearly every version of the Illuminati I’ve
heard explained by peers calls forth the strongest urge in me to slam my face
into an unforgiving surface, permanently shattering my teeth, jaw, and shearing
the flesh from my skull.
Logic muthafucka, do you speak it?
I’ve no solution to our problem. I do think identifying it is a start. Okay I do have one suggestion as to where to start. Stop listening to 2-Chainz.
