nostr:npub1mpwksahqzlafhsc4457qxc48u0x4jfpdxj4rqsgez9dljd9kdt6qth4h3u Just the other day, I heard someone commenting that British prime ministers used to be like whiz kids... at least up until the 21st century. For example, at a press conference, you could ask Tony Blair 5 complex, thorny questions and he could spend 30 minutes expounding on the ins and outs, history, and facts of each and every issue without missing a beat or nuance. But the last 3 or 4 Prime Ministers have been dummies.

I don't know how true that is, but I have been thinking about the dumbing down of America quite a bit recently.
