The responses that I often get in here from a few key individuals really makes me think that this lady is on to something.

Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt was the Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) in the US Department of Education under President Reagan and is the author of The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.

No, the United States has been Dumbed Down, The U.S. wont do anything until we have lost so much, and by then it will probably be to late anyway.

These are exactly the kind of people that worry me in this election. I want to hurt these people for being so uneducated.

I wonder how many of the trolls on this board actually read books?

It's funny how they always seem to attack people for wanting to broaden their perspectives by doing things like watching independently produced, non-commercialized, alternative streams of information but yet they seem to have little to no clue of their own in regards to the majority of what is discussed on this board.

It's almost like they just want to get rid of free speech and independent thought altogether, something which is never going to happen just so long as the internet as we know it remains free.

oh yeah. your research methods and sources and topics of interest are so very broad your topics and your interpretation of "facts" displays the worst levels of confirmation bias in the entire PDD. a perfect example are all the errors you've been making on recent economic talking points. if you went to school and parroted that nonsense they'd fail you, which is why you stick to message boards and youtube.

when you fool yourself into believing fantasies like NWO socialist world government plans and 911 conspiracy theories are you dumbing yourself down or just being really naive? maybe i should start a thread about whether society is becoming more naive?
