I just miss logic. I never should have read Atlas Shrugged. Objectivism has ruined so much of the misinformation age for me. ---

Heh. “The Misinformation Age.” I should copyright that. ---

Like older generations before us. As we get older we will see how naive the youth of today is. They are fortunate in that they will have instant access to as much misinformation as they can handle. Hopefully they will find commons sense and be able to apply it. ---

[quote=“drvnkd,post:24,topic:62292"”] Like older generations before us. As we get older we will see how naive the youth of today is. [/quote] Exactly. This has been happening since the dawn of time. Nobody is getting stupider, nobody is losing common sense. Now that everything and everybody can be published worldwide in an instant, it’s perhaps more obvious that as a whole… people can do stupid things. And for sure, some people no matter how old they get will remain naive and will lack “common sense” but this is not an anomoly reserved for this generation alone. As for stupid lawsuits winning over, that coffee one is justified (plus I fucking HATE waiting 25 minutes for my drink to cool off). And other lawsuits may only seem stupid to an outsider, there’s sooo many factors that go into one it’s impossible to know. Plus the media LOVES to play off this concept that we’re all getting dumb and they’ll spin any story that way, if they can. ---

The problem will be getting the youth to think for them selfs and not just run to google for answers to everything. Just because you are smart enough to use technology does not mean you are smart. ---

The people that are born not as thinkers, will simply have easier access to answers for them. ---
