Is it true that as a species, we’re becoming dumber? I was recently viewing a YouTube video that makes this exact claim. At least for the Gen Z and GenA gnerations/(Whoever they are.). I found the video compelling but wanted to know if this content creator was the only one who had noticed this feature in upcoming generations. No, she was not. When I searched YouTube, there were at least a dozen other videos about becoming dumber, or stupid. What’s this all about?

I think it’s interesting to see all of the online Christianity lately. It’s interesting in that it seems that wherever I turn, there’s somone claiming the mantle of Jesus, and informing the rest of us that we are heathens – or at least the tone of their posts seem that way. I don’t think this is the first time where people used some religious connection to make a name for themselves.

I watched a YouTube video ealier, by someone from my early days perusing the net as an atheist(I wasn’t into the whole social media scene for a while), and someone, even though at the time he was so “famous” on the net, I just really didn’t care for because I could tell(or so I thought) he was disingenuous. Also, for all his smiling and his soft spoken way, he really was a hater in my opinion. He was one of those, you’re either with me or against me” types and, well, atheists are like a clowder of cats: impossible to herd even though 90% at the time were declared liberals. So, I’m thinking about a response to his YouTube video. Watch for yourself. What do you think of the situation he’s reporting?
I will be so relieved when these midterm elections are over. At this point, I really don’t care who wins what as long as I don’t have to see another campaign ad on TV for at least a little while when the presidential campaign season begins in earnest(next summer?). Am I the only one noticing how nasty these ads have become in the last month or six weeks? Of course, some of the races in my area are polling very close so the ads are not only nasty, the candidates are competing for who the greatest liar is this week. There’s no ideology behind what I’m saying; both parties are guilty. What’s odd is that they believe people are going to believe these lies when it’s easy to check out without having to depend on the obviously biased media. Yep, the good old Internet is the most trusted source for at least some truth. When you hear something outlandish about a candidate you might support, check it for yourself.
I think I’ve mentioned I’m a bit of a YouTube addict these days. I used to use it sparingly to look up DIY repairs and other tasks with which I thought I needed assistance. Good enough for that and that’s about all. Then a friend told me that there was a lot more than “fix it” videos out there and I began to peruse. My friend understated, I believe.
