Hi @UMich i just want to be absolutely explicitly clear that NO, this video of your student committing Assault & Battery, resisting arrest, making death threats, & engaging in Anti Semitism ON CAMPUS is NOT coming down.

In fact, on behalf of @camhigby & others who were assaulted & threatened on your campus with your consent, & protection, I’m going to reshare it here.

And I’m going to tag some friends with reach to make sure it keeps going. Here. On telegram. On facebook. On Rumble. On YouTube. On Truth Social.

Remember, you asked for it.

The real question is, do we care what it means? And the answer is no.

My question to the BBC is: do you know what the phrase ‘dumbing down’ means?

This database of hundreds of English hymns metrically translated into Latin (so they can be sung to the same tunes) is possibly the finest thing I have ever discovered on the Internet.

I used to genuinely believe that the generation of kids who are now in their late teens and early twenties would save the world.

I used to think Greta Thunberg was a powerful advocate for those of us who believed that growth and prosperity couldn’t come at the cost of destroying the planet’s ecosystems, on which we all rely to survive.

I was never a fan of some of the hard-left, sackcloth-and-ashes solutions to climate change. But I’ve always been baffled by those who seem determined to defend the burning of fossil fuels. Even before climate change became a hot topic (pun intended), we knew fossil fuels caused terrible pollution, from choking smog to acid rain, never mind the scars left on the landscape and oil spills at sea.

But unfortunately - and I blame mobile phones, TikTok and the addictive nature of social media platforms generally - young adults seem to have poor attention spans and a very shallow grasp of history.

Many are obsessed with bizarre causes like trans ideology and seem to think Israel is the worst country in the world. The death and destruction in Gaza are objectively awful, but where is the acknowledgement by the keffiyeh-wearing ‘screenagers’ that Hamas deliberately provoked the war by going on a murder spree, killing Israeli civilians, including progressives living on kibbutzim?

Algorithmically curated social media clips do not show the world in its entirety or offer any real sense of perspective. Terrible events are happening elsewhere, in Sudan, the DRC, Myanmar, Yemen, North Korea, Ukraine and elsewhere, but many young people can’t even point to these countries on a map. They lack a broad overview of world affairs or any realistic appreciation of realpolitik as opposed to utopian naivety.

And I fear for the future because, as we’ve already seen, some of the young politicians who are beginning to shape public discourse are what we used to describe as ‘stark staring bonkers’. Their ideas are deranged, matched only by the fervour with which they condemn anyone who dares to disagree with them.

Maybe if there were some enormous hacking incident and the internet went down for six months or longer, a degree of sanity might be restored.

But until then, we can only hope that some of the level-headed, rational young people out there - and there still are some - manage to wrest power from their lunatic peers who’ve lost their minds to algorithmic insanity.
