 How did humans get this dumb? The last 10 yrs have devastated intellect. People are dumber than dumb now and I cannot grasp it. 
 vaccines, fluoride, poison food, mind control in public education, chem trails, fake pharma medicine.  It isn’t too difficult to see how we got here. 
 yes i noticed the same. I think it's because technology gives them things meaning ppl do not understand how things actually happen in real life.

Nobody understands electricity, or how food ends up in their plate. they don't need to understand anything because they can just tap their phone and everything is fixed.

Also algotrythms made by a few, shape peoples thinking more thsn you could ever imagine.

So people are dumb because they don't need to be smart. <--- this is the only reason i can think of 
 bad grammar, but i think you understand what i mean 
 It’s not entirely necessary to learn how anything works anymore. The most incredible example to me everyone with half a brain can understand is the automobile. How many millions of people drive cars for YEARS without knowing anything about how it really works?

Millions for sure.

You can’t expect a colander to perform the job of a filter. Harsh? Perhaps. True? Probably too much of a simplification but a problem nonetheless. 
 brainwashing, anchoring aversions from trauma to avoidance certain ideas leads to avoidance of thinking, where thinking is both painful and limited.

all cult brainwashing victims are retarded. mind control victims are almost as retarded but don't even know who is pulling their strings. 
 Correlated with money printing weirdly enough
