Valid point. Something I think about often is the fact that the US had one of the highest education standards on earth until the Vietnam war when young people were vehemently and vocally opposed to govt actions, and this was the exact point point in history when our education standards started to nosedive. Surely no accident there, and probably this intentional nerf’ing of education has had probably the biggest impact of anything to date.. maybe the devices are just a helpful tool to maintain the status quo at this point..
