Dan Kurt: “The tyranny of the IQ curve strikes again: too many of our youth are going to college.”

Bookreading is in steep decline among all classes, cultures, and brain stratifications. We live in a society.

It gets worse. Many universities are now creating programs, especially those online, in which they mandate professors are not allowed to use books in their classes. They must only use “open source” documents — and trust me, they do not use journal articles. Students find them far too difficult to read. We are also starting to see newly minted PhDs who grew up never reading, becoming college professors. Naturally, they do not assign books. Academia is morally broke.

I also noticed that persons that are excessively social stop thinking by themselves. They look like they are part of an organism and not an individual anymore.

Probably something here about video overtaking the written word.

Alan Bloom was right again.

The minds of this new breed are incapable of sustained thought, not by nature, but by habit.
