What is the positive evidence? One must assume that ubiquitous access to the ‘net has rather led to improved accessibility to education.

>>545278273>Are people genuinely becoming dumber from tech?Thinking in one zone is replaced in a new zone.
>>545278273>>545278342cognitive offloading is a major problem as well as the fried attention spans. im guilty of it myself.
All the information is out there, easily accessible. However, teaching retards to value knowledge is very difficult

>>545278273we were pretty dumb already honestly.
>>545278461This is my estimation as well Anon
>>545278273By avg yes. Simply because the more people there are the more idiots there are. There are the same percentage of smart people today as there were 200-400-1000 years ago. They are simply drowned out by the dullards. MOST of humanity is and always has been paint chip eating retards, or worse, midwit know it alls that know nothing.
>>545278461^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>545278273Yes, boomers are known for their superior intelligence.
Knowing something based on what someone else has said vs knowing how to think and reason(inductive and deductive) to arrive at logical conclusions.Learning is a lot more than just consuming facts and spitting it back out. The positive evidence is the over-abundance of cynical reductive reasoning, where complex ideas are given comparison to increasingly simpler analogs just to make them easier to understand, but in losing that complexity, they are no longer fitting analogs, hence it being logically unsound.For example, comparing something like AI to a toaster. They're not even on the same level, and you'd have to strip so much from AI to make it comparable that it wouldn't even be a discussion on AI anymore.
>>545279528The fact alone that they think the water in a data center cooling system is open loop is crazy. What financial sense does that even make
>>545278398any information that which will improve your life stance is either gatekept, obfuscated, or paywalled. those in power do not want the masses to easily learn themselves.
>>545279775Wikipedia is free>it’s kiked!True, but if you cannot discern truth from rhetoric then you are unable to learn autodidactically in the first place.
>>545279859people seem to forget that in order to be "scholarly" you need finance support and if you don't have a good family, assuming you have zero income yourself, you are pretty much fucked in that respect
>>545279922Commie.Freedom of expression is all that is necessary to turn a naturally curious boy into a passionately studious man.The free market of ideas is not paywalled.
>>545280041people still need to eat and stay dry.
>>545278273Cool picture and yes
>>545280117If that’s what you mean by financial support, then sure. I however simply view that as having parents, or not being an orphan/runaway. Poverty is a separate societal battle, and if your point is that people in poverty have less access to the scholarly tradition then obviously yes that is true.
>>545278273No, it's from the average IQ steadily dropping from immigrants.
