We're Cooked - Blog Posts
America is an oligarchy led by a fascist president. Eco's Ur-Fascism is a good read. So is Animal Farm.
We are fucked because of a giant cult and the lack of critical thinking and media literacy.
I've been learning not to be suicidal just so I can be taken out by someone else? Great...
At least my suicidal thoughts have the ability of critical thinking.
I hate people.
Someone start the Apocalypse, which ever one you can. Just start it.

I understand why the professor who wrote this is staying anonymous.
This is what is happening in pedagogy, at least in America. young adults are significantly dumber. They can read anything at or below the complexity of Harry Potter or The Hunger Games, but they are missing the major themes and concepts, i.e. they aren't understanding magic = white supremacy or that Katniss is being groomed by the revolutionaries. its like how people watch severance or any movie, and "analyze" the "underlying" themes but they are just stating what blatantly happens and calling the text subtext, but they somehow seem amazed by their ability to do this.
Young people reach a 7th grade level and cease all intellectual developmental milestones. when they reach a road block they will literally just do something else. they either immediately reach for tiktok or chatgpt or they will entirely give up and freeze until classtime ends. they are also doing this bizarre guessing game with the rest of a word after seeing a familiar start, confusing words like embellished/embedded, substitute/substantial. This is feasibly a simple mistake but I mean 2-3x per paragraph.
In 2022, I was SHOCKED to see that these are completely able bodied, normal, upper/middle class people who are not only falling behind all the old milestones but they seem to all have serious intellectual disabilities. like they seem to have a real impairment or some form of brain damage, things kids used to be held back for remedial courses with extra tutoring or summer cram schooling to resolve, like, we had to build the extra brainpower to make it through advanced calculus ii or classical to modern philosophy. but they have replaced all difficult thought exercise with chatgpt, so nobody is addressing any of it
