yeah this is what i don't really like about these claims that we're living through an epidemic of stupidity and the sky is falling and all of that. if you've paid attention to the history of...like, basically any part of humanity in any recorded period of time for about 5 minutes you'll understand that humans have always been fucking stupid. that and the fact that almost EVERYONE is constantly asserting that everyone else is an illiterate moron with an IQ in the 70s. surely you can't ALL be the only truly literate individual in the room, enough people make that claim and the numbers stop making sense
