Is there something in the water or air that's spreading stupidity everywhere? Children aren't learning their lessons in school, vying to be the latest TikTok fool. As a whole, society's devolving: a worldwide problem, in need of solving. It seems everyone is glued to their phones: no individualism; we're mere clones. The internet has morphed into a cage, where stifled minds stagnate and disengage. Hate and bigotry have gained a platform: outrageous behavior is now the norm. We're losing our ability to think for it's much easier to interlink. We're banning books, and we're ok with that: letting the net filter what we look at. If stupidity's something we can't fix: try throwing common sense into the mix. There is something wrong with people today: AI does their thinking; what can I say?
