Are people getting dumber?
 
"Dumber, smaller, and weaker"
"Human intelligence has declined since Victorian era"

Are people getting dumber? Has our grip on menial things like vocabulary, grammar, and etiquette slowly loosened to the point of no return?

What's causing this gradual increase of human stupidity?

Between brain surgery and my stroke I am definitely dumber than I was before this summer.

With the internet everyone's dumb opinions has a platform. There are just as many dumb people, now were just more aware of them.

People are getting smarter I would assume. Just menial things like language aren't as important in this era.

People are getting smarter. We just notice the dumbasses easier now since they're in the papers, on Facebook and in comment sections.

Did you guys read the articles?

Isbjørn 11-03-2014 01:05 PM

No. Because in the digital age, ignorance is a choice, and I'm choosing to stay ignorant.

Alright, I'll read them.
