some people are just sub-capacity simpletons. kids aren't magically immune to this.

No screen time. The kids must yearn for the fields again.

It's literally just a question of attention spans. Focusing on one piece of writing for a sustained length of time is what they struggle with.

Reading is slow and unengaging visually. You're talking about the first generation that TRULY does not know the world without the internet and social media.

truth is some people are only good for tilling the field for 12 hours. they don't need to know how to read. problem is they now get to vote and shitpost on social media.

I feel sad for that gen, they are and going to be the dumbest

>>25062041
Probably change the laws to where giving your kid over 2 hours of screentime a day is considered child abuse.

If the only thing you’ve ever read is retard gibberish, your reading level will only be at the level of retard gibberish no matter how much of it you’ve read.

Mass literacy was unironically one of our biggest fuck ups.

>>25062555
No it wasn't. Mass literacy lead to the fastest advancement in human history. It's what people do on screens that are making it all shallow and meaningless. Everyone has fallen prey to smarter people than them trying to keep their attention for money.

or set guidlines for them instead making judge fudge the do the parenting for you, remember we're shifting towards everything/some of the work revolves around a screen connected to the internet. do you see the contradiction of what you're saying?

>>25062572
The common issue is democracy. Letting dumb people have political power is where it messes with the rest of us.

>>25062696
I'm still deciding where I stand on that, but even so that is separate issue.

>>25062633
I agree that you cannot / should not cut your kids of from gaining technological literacy in the mordern world. So some screentime is obviously required for that. But let's be real, not even 10% of the time spent infront of a screen is doing anything benficial, atleast not the way kids would be using it. Also what im saying is meant for children under 10 years old. After that the restrictions on screentime can be a lot more leanient.

What I want to get rid of entiernly is that the idea that auto parenting your kids by putting them infront of brainrot for a few hours a day is anywhere close to being acceptable parenting. It should be looked at as the child neglect that it really is.

Do you really need that though? Not from a young age. Know who didn't let their kids use screens? Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Kids can pick it up just fine at adolescence

>>25062041
The kids are not watching sitcoms on television or drinking sasparilla in saloons thanks to tik tok. How can we reverse this pernicious trend?

Understand that reading levels incorporate varying levels of textual engagement. The average retard can read a string of words in a sentence and comprehend most of what the sentence is saying as long as it doesn't deviate into too many clauses. They can read Twitter posts, Instagram captions, and texts pertaining to another retard's relationship woes. However when it comes to understanding walls of text, with a variety of ideas, narrative formats, supplementary footnotes, etc., the average retard gets lost. Just because they can read the words doesn't mean the ideas stick in their heads. Sometimes it's an issue of not understanding subtext, like sarcasm, parody, satire, etc., which often requires high level intelligence given that the average borderline retard autist struggles with understanding these things. Throw in a bunch of other shit they have to mentally keep track of and juggle, and they just can't do it.

Widespread literacy is a very recent thing, before the 20th century the vast majority of people throughout history couldn't read or only barely. The fact that most of the population is literate, even if a lot of them read at a 5th grade reading level or whatever, is good enough I think. There's gotta be a ceiling somewhere.

>>25063152
I think you are probably much, much less intelligent than you think you are.

>>25062041
I wish we taught kids math more than reading. Maybe then they would be capable of paying off their credit card bills. Or grasping the idea of interests.

What does that have to do with learning math?

Well the problem isn’t “the internet” because the internet was text based from the 80s to the 2010s at least and there was little to do but read and write for the longest time. All those Usenet debates went on forever and required you to both follow the argument and make your own.

So, the big change is just social media and short form content leading to brain rot and an inability to engage with long form material. Kids text and emoji a lot but even that can’t be the problem since we survived the ttyl txt lol era.
