That still makes you smarter by comparison, which is all that matters anyway.

You're increasingly giving in to generalizations about other people.

The whole OP literally reflects that process.



This happens throughout the world, people are getting uincreasingly polarized and over;loaded with information so the categories they put everything in get more and more catch-all.

Its higher than that since my STAL vote was only to see results. My vote doesn't count in this. I have a clear bias.

It does feel that way...although who knows. Maybe more or less we've always been this "dumb". We've obviously progressed very far in certain areas, while seemingly regressing badly in others.

It's ironic because one would think with the invention of the internet, and having so much information at our fingertips (although that also means that there's a lot of misinformation at our fingertips as well so it's a double edged sword) that would make us significantly more knowledgeable, yet in reality it has just dumbed a lot of us down. It's also really damaged many of us when it comes to social interaction as well.

One thing I will say is, I think this new technology age has definitely bred more narcissists than ever before.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.
