Yes instant messaging, social media, smart phones and adult content are all making the human brain dumb. People are driven by an impulsive pursuit of instant gratification, and can't patiently digest information to make rational decisions. Politics, markets and work are all affected by this.
People need to get rid of impulsive areas and return to sources of concentration, like reading and problem solving, to rebuild the destroyed neural-pathways.
The number of meetings, I have at work, where people continually interrupt with a tangent, or ask for something to repeated because they haven't paid attention, is unbelievable. "Can somebody please summarise the key points from this meeting?"
Trading is based on this impulsive mentality. Individuals don't even take a short time to understand the fundamentals of the company they invest in.
It's easier to go along with the crowd and ride the wave.
The vast majority of the population are morons, completely incapable of objective critique. Hence why the mad, disproportionate covid measures were enacted.
"I'm staying at home, ignoring all medical problems to save the NHS" like a virus was the only thing that mattered. Now we know hundreds of thousands of people had mis or undiagnosed cancers. Well f*cking duh! I tell people this and they still want to believe lockdowns were necessary, even though the NHS is now f*cked!
Anyway, don't be like them. Read things carefully, critique information objectively to enable rational decision making.
