> we're living in the age of hyper-information, people are so used to getting bombarded with "notifications" about shit that doesn't matter at all indeed. we cannot assume that this is all there is to it. before the phone we had television which turned the boomers into mindless propaganda parrots. now with the internet they believe that dinosaurs don't exist because they have zero critical thinking skills. average iq in the west has dropped 16 points or so since 1870 so this might have to do with it too. this is within the same ethnicity so immigration cannot be blamed.
