It isn't just Social Media. The West has considerably lowered the educational standards so that blacks, migrants, women, everyone can get a degree. The US educational system was always a joke except for a select few private schools for the rich. It never mattered that you had knowledge in the US. You were good to go as long as you had enough knowledge to operate machines and do labour. But now Europe follows the same path. Lower Saxony in Germany recently got rid of long division and decimal numbers from the math curriculum in elementary schools. Apparently that's "too complex" now. Importing 80 IQ people then in order to not discriminate give everyone 80 IQ tasks is the motto.
Apparently Gen Z is also high on astrology, tarot, zodiac signs etc. I thought my wife was bullshitting me when she told me about it until I sat in the train on the way to the airport and heard with my own ears 2 Gen Z girls talking about a guy and how their signs don't match so they couldn't be together in a relationship based on that.
They are breeding a generation of AI slaves who won't be able to do anything but swipe American apps and ask Gemini how to tie shoelaces. Google already does ads like that: "Hey Gemini, what does 'cancelado' on the train station mean". lmao
Social Media is just a symptom, not the cause. In Asia children use TikTok for educational videos, not for stupid dances, "challenges" or "life hacks" like cooking steak in 5 kg of butter then smearing it with peanut butter at the end.
