All you have to do is look at our society and see what is happening on a large scale around the country.
1 public schools are lowering grading standards or altering the way grading is done to make it more fair and equitable which means not holding bad students to high standards and encouraging them being able to perform.

Faced with soaring Ds and Fs, schools are ditching the old way of grading
Pandemic-forced school closures revealed how grade-point systems hurt disadvantaged children, prompting educators to look for ways to bring equity to grading.www.latimes.com
Some schools even got rid of analog clocks because students couldn't read them. Imagine you're supposed to teach kids, but when they don't know something you don't teach it to them.

2 weed is on the rise. Weed for a lot of people as a occasional background substance isn't too bad. But we see it becoming more and more legalized with more and more kids smoking it and getting high. Weed will rob you of your ambition and a lot of young people all they want to do is just enough to get high.
3 smartphones make us dumber. Before you had to learn and commit things to memory, now everyone just pulls out their phone, googles something and forget its an hour later. We're gradually losing our ability to retain information.
4 everything is getting closer together and renting becoming a bigger thing. When you work some measely job and rent an apartment your life is limited and when your life is limited so is your mind and ambition. Millions and millions of people have resigned themselves to working a garbage job and perpetually renting. They sit and whine about wanting more and how they deserve it but they don't do anything about it so they live a life of unhappy mediocrity.
5 social media destroys brains and even when you go out to eat you see parents and kids sitting at the table looking at their phones. Why even bother going out? Social media and the constant scrolling and mindless junk on it rots brains because it takes no thought to do it and people do it all day. Kids spend more time on Instagram than they do actually outside playing and spending time with other kids. It all passively slips through their brains that are in neutral. Too many people apply value to their lives by likes, views, and hearts.
6 were in a age of irrational emotion and kneejerk responses. Fewer and fewer people stop, think, rationalize, research and learn before they speak. They immediately go to a kneejerk response and quick to be emotional. Emotions are the first stop of the ignorant.
When was the last time America did anything great? Overcame a major challenge? Did something worthwhile? Anything meaningful? Our nation is gradually becoming a nation of the soft, weak, lazy and ambitionless. Now we argue about how fat is beautiful and healthy, men can become women, protest in the name of other countries and so on.
Ding ding ding, not a word untrue.
Some contributors to our severe dumbing down is the fact we no longer have to spell or perform math using our noggins, or even read a map. Fuck, we don't even need to commit phone numbers and appointments to memory. Open book tests while they shove woke down our throats. That and how many people do you know can solve basic problems, beyond rebooting gadgets? I see a lot of liberals in California, they hire others to solve problems and maintain their shit, and don't get me started on their central and needy selves. On one hand they preach this and that, on the other their actions demonstrate the opposite.
