How Americans Got So Stupid

Blame the Crack Epidemic and various other drug epidemics of the 80s where fast money glorified over gradual building and delayed gratification. From there, the intellectually gifted student was mock and belittled by their classmates as less than human, the "nerd" label was something labeled as passive and weak, and overconfidence of some athletes. That was when and where you see anti-intellectualism stemmed from.

 

[Jean Jacket]

Byproduct of capitalism.

The dumber you are the easier it is to limit you to consumerism...


On another serious note....It was determined that before lead was banned in fuel and products...over the course of 100 years past the industrial revolution...dropped the average IQ by 2 points. Google that shyt.

It has been intentional. The dumber a population is the more folks at the top can get away with. The details can get complicated but the logic is simple.

Americans have always been dumb as shyt and it goes back much further than the drug epidemics of the 80s. What about the booze epidemics of the 1930s. Dude Jim Crow existed back then.

I guess I missed the memo where the rest of the world was super intelligent. Look at some of the aviation accidents in the past 10 years.

Hell, look at this site.

Video title should be changed to "How Americans became so ignorant of the world outside their own country."

[BlackJesus]

If a country as dumb as America can become the preeminent first world power. A country like Nigeria has absolutely no excuse given all the talent and resources they have access to
