Harvard professor Arthur Brooks explains how data shows that the unhappiest and most mentally ill people are mostly on the political left while the happiest are on the right.

Liberal women 18-30 have a 60% chance of being diagnosed mentally ill. Discuss.

@BryanP11825 @MrAndyNgo Did you forget the sarcasm tag?

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.

@Joshua_Winthrop @PaulGoldEagle @grok Sovcit to the unrescue.
He’s probably using a green screen background because the prison blocks in the back were ugly.

@BrentZwerneman I'm long past my Aggie senior year, but how about going 3-0 or at least 2-1 this weekend? A single win only feels good for a night, but a series win or a sweep. . . .

@Driskal @council_floyd @catturd2 We're just as screwed up as everyone else. Either everyone able-bodied gets a job and helps out AND businesses pay workers enough to cover their bills, or something has to give. https://t.co/C6RBYfyneP

@GiacomoCarnvale @elonmusk @MsAvaArmstrong @neuralink Ok, but only if you also put it in the people who decide if insurance will cover patients’ care.

@MrAndyNgo Washington state government is setting up a foundation here for their own insanity defense when everything fails.

@901Hostil @AIKOISSEY @BussinWTB @BuckReising Bigger? Geography much?

[Meestergud @meestergud]

@BrandSanderson Yeah, but does it have a secure coin pocket?

[Meestergud @meestergud]

@BrandSanderson King of fan communication. Thanks for the update.

@Borderlands The pearl I got was garbage. I’d rather have to farm it and be happy with the results.

The FDA is worthless...“We use over 10,000 food additives here in the US. In Europe...there's only 400 approved.”

“American food companies are selling the same exact products overseas without these chemicals, but choose to continue serving us the most toxic version here.”

@officer_Lew Same people who will defend AOC excoriated Sara Palin for the factual statement, "And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
