There is a line in the book “Good Omens” about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They are talking about Famine and how people usually think of famine as not having enough food, but that modern day famine in the West is about malnutrition. There is more food than anyone could possibly eat, and people are more obese than ever. Yet, people are dying of all kinds of health related illnesses because they are not getting the proper nutrition.
The same thing is happening in the education system. Over 60% of high school graduates are enrolling in college. Of which women are about 70% and men are about 55% and we are seeing a complete dumbing down of America. We are seeing people who have no idea how the government works. How the economy works. Even how households have managed to function for the last millennia.
We see videos everyday from young adults complaining that they have to work 40 hours a week and pay bills. That things should just be given to them. There are people who legitimately don’t know where food or electricity come from. The store and the wall… that’s honestly what they believe. They don’t know why people need to be farmers anymore, or why we need coil or oil when we can just plug things into the house and use the electricity.
People have turned into the zombie apocalypse without anyone lifting a finger. There is more information at EVERYONE’S fingertips than ever before and they use to to watch other people date, or other people play with their cats. There are apps that read whole novels to you, but the average person can’t name a classic book.
Now, we have people marching in the streets ordering the government to stop funding the only democratic state in the whole middle east in the name of democracy. We have people threatening Jews in order to stop Nazis. We have people burning down cities in order to “help” the communities that live there. There are people calling the police when someone confronts the “defund the police” movement. We have people crying about insurrection as they attack federal building, including the white house.
People just don’t have common sense. They don’t know the meaning of words. They are incapable and uninterested in looking for information for themselves. People today just want to feel like they are part of some crowd. They want to feel like they are important. They go to expensive schools to be taught whatever the administration thinks they should be taught and then get out and know less about reality than before they went in. Then they complain they can’t pay off the debt that the own because they can’t get a job with their “Women’s Study” degree and are mad they have to actually look for one. Never mind work one.
having been raised by my grandparents, I was able to see past the obvious obstructions that my peers were faced with.
Everything my grandfather predicted has come to fruition.
It’s quite scary if you ask me.
