Are People Just More Stupid Nowadays ?

/\ The 'from', at the end of that last line, is an unnecessary/redundant preposition. Shame, shame, . . .

I mean, speaking of education and all.

/\ Just as I have come to anticipate, your link condones with commonality as its defense.

Just keep in mind, stupid people are quite common, too.

I'd say no, people aren't more stupid, or lazy, or selfish, or whatever. Most people idealize the past as being always better than the present but I doubt the 1900s or the 1940s were much better than today.

The stupid and book ignorant have been with us always.

Unfortunately in countries like the US, conservatives seem to want people to revel in their ignorance and are doing their utmost to undermine education.

/\ Religious leaders have been pulling that shit since the beginning of religion.

Didn't the Catholics shit themselves no end when their precious Bible was translated and then mass-produced?

Dumb people, or sweethearts, as they are referred to in the porn industry, are so much easier manipulated.

Dumb people can be a certain kind of charming, as long as they reconcile with and recognize their stupidity. It also helps if they're cute.
