The Era Of Stupidity

Sorry to break the bad news to you, folks, but we’re in the era of stupidity, the dumbing down of America. Or as political commentator Bill Whittle succinctly puts it, “We are a nation of watchers, not doers.” We still have American citizens who believe that the moon landing was a hoax, although every conceivable misconception has been debunked. And we have those who are adamant that 9/11 was a U.S. conspiracy. “We live in the age of the great unlearning,” Whittle says. “A time where more and more people simply walk away from the library of hard-won knowledge and achievement because they’re bored with it.” Although Millenials shoulder a lot of the blame for the shift, the problem bridges several generations. Yes, including the Boomers. Whittle finishes his point and offers solutions in this edition of “Afterburner” on PJTV.
