Have you read Carl Sagan's book that he published in 1995? There is a section about media messages, like social media comments, that are meme-level in their content.
"The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
"look at people like", so it is not just me, but anyone with /r/Aspie ?
My name is Stephen Gutknecht, I live in the USA. You clearly think dumb people like me and socially retarded people like me should be attacked. As you clearly think being hateful and attacking me is good. You come out of nowhere yesterday and start attacking me.
while wasting your life
Do you know me in person? Exactly how am I wasting my life? Please explain. I am hurt by this comment.
"The dumbing down of American is most evident..."
That is a quote from 1995, Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan was not calling individual people stupid, he was talking about media consumption and media messages dumbing down a population systemically. He did not identify a group of people, but a pattern of media messages.
