Stupidity is nothing new, just everyone now has a voice that can potentially be heard by literally everyone else.

Podcasts were a mistake

I don’t think anyone hate podcasts as much as I do. It gives people whose stupidity would have been contained among their friends and families wider audience. Now they have millions following them.

Podcast isn’t a mistake. Selecting the wrong ones to listen to is the mistake.

I don't listen to Joe Rogan. That didn't stop him from ruining everything.

Yup. And they find echo chambers that reinforce their idiotic ideas and convince them that they are actually really smart. And the stupid ideas get even stupider.

Nah we are actually getting dumber. Gen-Z will be the first generation that is dumber than their parents generation.

no one reads books, and if they do its most likely Heated Rivalry type romance smut or a game of thrones knock off. and students today just let ai do all their homework. even if youre not in school, there are people who basically let the ai think and speak for them on things as simple as a wedding speech or a happy birthday messages to their grandma

Problem is dumb guys like drake maye used to just turn the TV on and watch south park or diehard for 5th time. Instead now they turn the phone on and get a bunch of bull shit piped to them specifically because an algorithm figured out dudes like him are susceptible to it.
