What the fuck are you even talking about? The conversation is about why Americans are so fucking stupid, not entirely illiterate.
The fact that OVER HALF of the adult population reads at BELOW A SIXTH GRADE LEVEL, is kind of the REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT part, actually.
That’s the third statistic.
It most certainly is in the cruiser bike circles. As well as shirts that say “If you can read this, the bitch fell off”
Classy group.
That was also roughly the amount of support the Nazis had before they took over completely.
It’s baked into human nature, apparently.
LoUd pIpEs SaVe LiVeS!!!
Not even close.
Stupid people breeding while smart people don’t was not a part of HG Wells vision.
Edit:
Also the morlocks would have been the smart ones if we follow this reasoning.
You just described the premise of the movie “Idiocracy”
In 2024, 79% of adults in the United States are literate, while 21% are illiterate. This puts the US in 36th place for literacy. Other literacy statistics for the US include:
54% of adults have a literacy level below 6th grade
20% of adults have a literacy level below 5th grade
34% of adults who lack literacy proficiency were born outside the US
More than 70% of inmates in US prisons can’t read above a 4th grade level
Children of illiterate parents have a 72% chance of being illiterate as adults
Edit: you all in the replies are dead set on proving these statistics true, aren’t you? Bless your hearts.
This is exactly why I asked if you’re a dumb mother fucker, you dumb mother fucker.
Exactly why do you say that?
Are you a dumb mother fucker, you dumb mother fucker?
The reason people act normal is called the “hedonic treadmill”.
Whatever you experience most frequently is “normalized” by the mind.
That’s the cause of most human suffering.
Most humans have always valued comfort over truth.

It’s not that deep when you live your life like cattle.

VR is great for flight sims and… Yeah that’s all.
