My Follow-Up on Why It's Over
See today's news. I know some will chalk up this problem to parents not raising their kids right. But, parents have been not raising their kids right for a few generations now...at least. This is a very recent development. From what I'm seeing our youth are descending into crisis.
I will be teaching a golf elective again this year for our junior high. If I get 10 kids in my class, at least 8 will be autistic/ADHD/depressed - and ways that are obvious to the most dulled observer. This is the problem that I think will take down the nation...as "crazy" as that may sound.

They suffer from induced insanity.
Young people are impressionable although I can't quite blame their environment for all the mistakes they are making, like confronting conservatives at colleges. Maybe I was lucky to have parents who taught me how to think. Often I am horrified what these kids see at home.
The point I am making is that some sort of cognitive function should be expected from these people. You can't blame all their failures on the environment. Voting age is 18:. They should be aware of what their responsibilities are to the country and society.
I understand that most don't get this. Can't say I blame them. But, I've seen this firsthand. Have been watching the facts unfold for the past decade. It's amazing.
Until I saw it first-hand, I thought it was just "kids these days..." grousing and people wanted to tolerate mistreatment by dismissing the victims as too sensitive. This is not what's happening. I'm not sure what it is. I actually think there is a backlashing coming in the form of so-called "grit". I see it sometimes in popular culture. I watched the Captain Marvel movie. When the heroine is down she draws strength from childhood memories getting hurt and having to get up shake it off without parents hovering.
Regarding the neurological alterations, I wonder if some alterations are just the result of the world we live in. When I was a kid it was useful to have a lot of facts memorized because going to the library to look them up would be too time consuming. I still think learning facts is very important, but the world as changed. Our brains will change. We should be aware and deliberate about it. Some of changes happening are like disabilities as you say. It's not everyone. My wife recently hired an amazing 21 y/o who consistently hits it out of the park. It's an epidemic with < 100% morbidity. I think many future leaders of the world will come from poor or troubled backgrounds where the parents didn't have time or wherewithal to baby their kids into adulthood.
