People are getting dumber

I made the mistake of reading online "news" over the past few months and it has dawned on me that we're doomed. People have gotten so damned stupid that this is unsustainable. These people vote? I'm talking about people making comments at the end of the horribly written news stories. If Trump said, "The earth revolves around the sun." they'd lose their minds. What happened? I'm finishing up "The Indoctrinated Brain" and think that may be the pivot point. All those people, a vast majority, got the spike protein jabs. What else could it be? I know my daughter is battling some damage from TikTok. Maybe it was a holistic approach between the schools, TikTok, spike protein, and tv news. Every morning I get up, go down to my kitchen, look out my window across this beautiful high-desert valley I live above and am thankful I'm slipping deeper into the gulch each day as I slowly continue to disconnect. I do feel guilt for what my kids are going to endure trying to navigate this massive mess we're leaving them. We buckled. We got too busy working and trying to provide that we didn't fight this damned morass. Now it'll be Idiocracy...

    If you have any doubt about the level of stupidity, just read some of the Comments sections on online posts. It makes one lose hope for humanity.

    I agree. One of our many 'family mottoes' is: "People are idiots". If you start with this assumption, you are rarely disappointed.

    This has morphed into a frequent corollary statement. When we see something astoundingly stupid, our standard comment is: "Well, at least they have a good excuse", [that excuse being, of course, "people are idiots"]

    In my mind, I have no doubt something is happening with the general cognitive ability in a majority of our population. They seem much more susceptible to group think, they simply believe and no facts will change their mind.

    I’ve noticed a sharp decline around 2020, no surprise… Before the forced vaccination, people were productive. We had the normal moron which was relegated to useless higher management, i.e. the Dilbert theory, but these numbers were small and it cleared the way to allow the people that could do, do what they did. We also had the general moron which plodded along in life with no ambition or drive to accomplish anything. These were at a sustainable level of around 80%, in my opinion. I contracted in the government space so my opinion might be a little bit skewed.

    I left the government contracting space in 2013, met many smart people with drive… Around 2020, I was employed with NetApp. A higher concentration of imbeciles then in most businesses but still functional. Then they mandated the vaccine, I found a church signing religious exemptions, I was able to save my job and not take the vaccine. What I’ve witnessed since 2020 is amazing.

    I know of people that took the vaccine and have major medical emergencies, atrial rupture, myocarditis, consistently ill, but without a doubt, I’ve notice a sharp decline in peoples ability to think. They are everywhere, they are making the wrong decisions and truly screwing everything up. It now seems like I spend a majority of my time pushing back against stupidity.

    A dumb population is easier to control, a fat population is easier to control, a drug addicted population is easier to control, a population without family has less of a reason to resist. I’m seeing a pattern here and I’m screaming about it and no one can hear me.

    If they take a surf perch and test it now it's got prozac and birth control in it. We don't process it out in the sewage processing.

    Actually, it is in the water.
    When People flush their old meds down the toilet,
    It eventually shows up in the ground water in minute, but measurable amounts.

    Oh, forgot that one, a very important one.
    Including all the Trans-drugs that are causing epic suicide rates and the social media that pushes the Trans and furry psychosis.

    For good or ill, we are what God made us.
    Denying that reality by trying to change it, is giving God the finger.

    My grandfather always said that no one under the age of thirty had any sense. I think he was overestimating 30- to 200- year olds. Remember what George Carlin (the greatest philosopher of the 20th century) said:
    “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

    Sorry to hear that you're going through that, NealS. It took 45 years, but the agent orange finally took out my brother-in-law about 4 years ago. My sympathies to you and all the other guys out there that are coughing up the same.

    We were too young and we trusted our government not to kill us - BIG mistake :-( One of my younger brothers lies in a veterans cemetery thanks to Agent Orange

    I understand your point, Abaco, but I think you're being too hard on yourself. We--those of us here, and other likeminded people--are doing what we can NOT to leave them this mess. It's the Obliviots (as Neal Boortz called them) that are leaving this mess. All we can do at this point is watch; I don't think there are enough of us to stop it.

    Haha...hope not! I used to work with a guy who had a PhD in chemistry. I could read any chemical on a food label and he knew, off the top of is head, how it damages the body. In the following years I've watched a few older gentlemen I know die from agent orange and I'm sure that it can't be classified as a "mistake" or even an unplanned circumstance that all these people have been damaged. They knew what it would do, certainly. And...They didn't care.

    For me it was Agent Orange, I'm paying for it today, a 100% disabled rating. It didn't effect my mind however, or did it?

    Abaco, it's going to work out. You'll never believe what's going to happen, but it's incredible. I want to get my book out before events overrun. Keep the faith!

    Don't forget the 60 million Americans (adults and children) on psychotropic (reality-altering) drugs, most of them prescribed.

    So do I. Sometimes, I catch myself with my hands over my face in terror...."Oh no. Oh no..."

    Well said. I use the term "quietly knowing" to explain my position. But...I do appreciate when people just stand up and stonewall openly about this crap.
