A brilliant summary of the reasons, why we got so intellectually lazy and apathetic. 👍 On the other hand it's concentrated cultural pessimism - and I'd like to object to the hopeless tone.
The lack of critical reading / thinking's for sure a threat to democracy - but is this really new?
Students getting rewarded for rote memorisation instead of analysis, populism, disinformation...
I have no solution to offer, but still have hope. GenZ is smarter than we "old geezers" sometimes claim.

"Why?"
"It needs to be fixed and the government doesn't want to fix it."
"What is the government?"

The fear built into all of us made this happen. We are becoming poor in our minds because we trade our lives for profit. We do not train our minds to see, to be in a state of awareness. We are blind—a poor nation, with ugly values, illusions created by fear. We cannot face the fear we are running from; instead, we feed it with pleasure.
