#dumb & #dumber #UKPol . The evisceration of the social sciences was #Thatchers best piece of #evil . Quite deliberate and has been compounded by every government since.
'We' can't possibly have a socially, political literate electorate. Who'd vote #Tory then?
Worth reading 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Is Gen Z Getting Dumber? What the IQ Data Actually Shows About the First Generation to Score Lower Than Their Parents
The Gen Z IQ story is not a story about a broken generation. It is a story about what happens when environments change faster than our understanding of what those environments are doing to cognition.

Had this article shared with me today: https://fortune.com/2025/02/11/ai-impact-brain-critical-thinking-microsoft-study/
I went through an array of #emotions. At first, I found it #awkward and #discomforting. I made jokes:
Wait, you mean people aren't thinking #critically and growing #cognitively because the #digitalization of the world is doing it for them....and it's making them (gasps) #dumber!!?? #AI is making it worse?? Is this #Idiocracy? 👀 😞 Am I being #punked right now!? Where's Ashton and the cameras! 📹
Then, I had a deep #selfrealization:
Jokes aside - This is a #sensitive topic for me. I talk about it in my closest circle too often. Unfortunately, I have a front seat to the steep cognitive #decline of some close #friends and #family members for years now, and it makes me sad - not because of disease or "old age", simply because of too much screen time and no new cognitive #stimulation. I see too many people purposefully avoiding nearly anything #cerebral, if they even approach them at all. I have many days where I wish the #Internet didn't exist - for a multitude of reasons, but this is a big one. I'm not trying to be "old fashioned" or #sarcastic, I'm just #disappointed in how we #humanz have grown to depend on #technology as a #crutch, rather than using it as the #tool it was invented to be. As the article eludes to, these technologies are supposed to #complement human #evolution, not #supplement it.

#Dumb, #Dumber, and #Dumberest - the third installment in the series reunites the original cast of the first two, with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels joined by a cousin, who for some reason is played by a digital recreation of Rob Schneider. Plot is unknown, but likely doesn't matter.
Porky's: The Next Generation - a reboot to try to re-establish the franchise on the basis that #sophomoric #comedy has fallen into a rut. Plot has been modernized; since Hollywood no longer plays high school characters as virgins, three friends try to get their buddy to go viral on #TikTok. Stars Austin Butler, Tom Holland, Levi Miller, and Conor Sherry, and is for some reason directed by a digital recreation of Bob Clark.
Promising Young Woman 2 - as the original Promising Young Woman (2020) was unexpectedly profitable, you knew a sequel was coming. Some #retconning was required to re-establish the character of Cassandra, who memorably died in the original film. Carey Mulligan returns for a large paycheque, with an otherwise all-new cast. Script by a digital recreation of Emerald Fennell's cat.
And who said creativity in Hollywood was dead?

#America is a land of law. Ours is a nation founded upon a #constitution from whence all statutes, laws, rules, and regulations that govern our daily lives spring.
Our law-abiding nature is ingrained into us that someone with a #criminal record, even after rehabilitation, cannot secure a gainful employment. But we are about to hire a #thief, a #fraudster, a #rapist, a #traitor, and an #insurrectionist as our #president!
If we are any #dumber, we would be marching our city streets to demand we join the Russian Federation under #Rasputin. Well, we just might, in 2025.🤦♂️

Who planned on ChatGPT getting worse?
I think #LLMs have real world uses that we will enjoy for many years to come.
But I also think they’re much #dumber and less impactful than some of the #folks out there #spreading #fear about them.

#NHL’s ongoing #PrideNight #jersey #drama just got even #dumber
In recent weeks, three different NHL teams have blamed their string of Pride Night debacles on #Russia’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws. But one of the league’s top execs say there’s zero evidence to support those ridiculous claims.
