@ClareONeilMP The trouble with Socialism Clare, is that you eventually run out of other people’s money… you are proving Maggie Thatcher correct every day.
@Paul__Templeton They did exactly the same in the ACT regarding self government in 1989. Totalitarian government is not new but getting worse… they don’t even pretend to care what the poors think anymore
This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned.
“Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.”
Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s.
So, what happened?
Screens.
Dr. Jared Horvath explained:
“Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.”
“So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).”
“If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.”
But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.
They’re doing something far worse. And when you take a closer look, it isn’t pretty. 🧵
The problem is the polls are thought of as some infallible authority. At least by media and pollsters and pollies. There’s no accounting for the decades of Marxist indoctrination that has taken place resulting in perverse outcomes. Yuri Bezmenov warned the west but we were too arrogant to listen, and to weak to act.
