    If that’s the case then we are well and truly fucked because that’s not changing without significant education investment, and Trump is going to get rid of the Department of Education.

      I believe we are well and truly fucked.

      Education and critical thinking is lacking in the majority of the electorate and the trend is that we elect leaders that reinforce that instead of mitigate it. Defunding education doesn’t improve this situation, and I feel we hit a tipping point where we might not be able to get these skills back in the curriculum going forward.

        Humanity in general is fucked. This isn’t a uniquely American problem. The growth of entertainment and technology has broken our primitive monkey brains.
