Ngl, this video really motivates me to go to a place this guy's insufferable viewers would gather. I'd record their reaction to one of these videos. Ideally they will go off on a long rant about how stupid the new generation is. After that, I'd flip the script on them and start asking them 5th grade questions that they WILL get wrong because it's mostly trivial knowledge that they forgot a decade ago. Not sure what would be more sweet, their shame, or hearing them explain why they're totally allowed to get the answers wrong because their standards don't apply to them.

[@genericname8727]

The teachers aren’t the issue. The teachers do the best they can. The system is set up to promote poor education and teachers are forced to comply to some degree, and face a lot of pressures from admin and other sources. Standardised testing being used to determine school funding is one of numerous issues with education systems. The teachers are regularly blamed for the results of the flawed system, but it’s not something that can be solved by throwing money at it (that said, I agree teachers should be paid more in America).

all very essential facts that these kids will never be able to survive without. how will we ever progress as a society if we don't know that jack and jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water?

[@purplepotatoes9255]

It's also fairly ridiculous, when thinking logically. Jack and Jill went up a hill to fetch a singular pail of water? Really? 2 people for 1 (one!) Pail of water?? No, they were definitely up to some sort of mischievous activity. Besides this, going up a hill to fetch a pail of water? When considering how this is often depicted in media, it considers this action to be committed through the help of a well. Of course, this fails to consider that the nature of water would have it settle in the bottom of a hill. Water flows down, between grains of dirt, so to build a well on to of a hill instead of the bottom of a valley is simply illogical. Its very possible jack and Jill do not exist, or, if they do, the live in an illogical society constructed to make everyday actions such as fetching water more difficult for everyone involved by putting wells on top of hills, making it harder to both build and access. This society could, potentially, be constructed by a group of psychopathic sadists who care only for others pain.

After the 2020 election I was hella triggered cause bernie lost the primary. I didn’t understand why Gen Z and the millennials didn’t vote for Bernie in the numbers the boomers did for Biden. Then after I watch videos like this as well as the interactions I’ve had with people in my own life anecdotally I realized that when people have this general level of knowledge, not just of social studies and history, but basic information like shape is a stop sign, they don’t even know where to begin when it comes to voting, knowing when/how/who to vote for

[@wilforddraper1894]

I mean I'm deep into politics, I'm almost voting age, and I STILL have no idea where to begin. No ever taught me and when I look this stuff up it's always a specific situation that doesnt fit my circumstances, or its so general that the info is practically useless.

Context clues, and things like that, are _critical thinking_ skills. Something our public schools don't teach anymore.

School is more about your ability to memorize things than to learn

[@cloudshad0ws]

@@kenet362 OK, but it shouldn't be. That's literally the problem. I didn't take a logic and reasoning course until college, and until then had no idea what made an argument strong/cogent, or what a fallacy was. That shit should be taught in middle school.

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

what im surprised by is that these kids surely spend more time online and passively taking in information than people older than them did, so i really would have thought general knowledge would be increasing with time, if anything.... like because of the way the internet has pervaded so much of my daily life now, i take in literally dozens of factoids a day just in my down time, compared to learning just a couple things a day when i was these kids age.

[@user-gh8wh3ur7q]

Passive consumption of information doesn't tend to be retained, especially if your brain isn't sure what info has more or less priority. You would have to actively annotate / take notes on what you read or synthesize the info to retain anything, if not just engaging in rote memorization.

[@80s_graffiti]

@@user-gh8wh3ur7q exactly. When people are fed the same length and depth of substance day in and day out without challenging themselves by critically analyzing anything their brain eventually becomes numb to the stream. Snapchat after Snapchat, TikToks for hours on end, all super short and shallow media they've been surrounded by for years.

[@beelzebublovers5809]

I’m gonna be real. They’re not that stupid I bet. Jack and Jill is something I learned when my parents read to me as a young child. If your parents worked the night shift and didn’t read to you, you aren’t stupid. Just deprived. Americans never invested in geography in our education. That makes sense. There are some things I think they should have known, but they’re not dumb. They just have different skill sets and knowledge bases

[@dangerousd1312]

crazy part is, people were probably dumber overall in past generations.

[@Justicejuice179]

@@dangerousd1312 I don’t think that’s crazy. See these questions aren’t about intelligence. They’re more trivia than anything. Past generations aside some millennials didn’t have access to a figurative gold mine of information in their hands since almost birth, and an ease of learning that even as close as boomers could have only dreamed of having. This is just willing ignorance by a refusal to learn basic facts you should have known and are available at your fingertips tbh. You could say radio and television were similar boons to knowledge for older generations. But they’re nowhere near being comparable to the internet.

[@sirius1696]

I know the igbo, yoruba, hausa, hutu, and tutsi nations of Africa and that's about it. Oh coptic too I guess. I know way more countries

[@Justicejuice179]

@@sirius1696 that was a question designed for them to fail to be fair. Americans are very America brained lol. I dont expect most people to know any African geography. Or any non American geography tbh. Except maybe Japan or whatever weeb thing they like.

[@Sojo214]

@@Justicejuice179 Most of this info is also mostly useless. The nursery rhyme has no way of helping me in my day to day life, neither does knowing the names/faces of the individuals on the currency I rarely even actually use these days (with digital transactions being so popular). I know a few African nations just from learning about mythology, because that interests me some, and trying to volunteer aid for the Sudanese conflict, and I knew the Koala one instantly cuz... well... I love animals. None of that actually helps me in my day to day life though. To say "See, this is why the downfall of America is upon is" is kinda silly. If you asked somebody about their job or interests and then trivia questions based on that, and they had a kind of surface level knowledge? Sure, that's one that may show reasons for decline. What would REALLY be funny, at least to me, and more indicative of anything, is if you started asking these people on how to vote, file taxes, what types of insurance they need, how to jump a car, budgeting, etc etc. Many of these are required life skills that just... aren't taught... Our school system and the guardians in their lives have, quite often, failed them. That's where change needs to happen.

lmfao i just paused the vid for one moment and seen "I went to rehab at 25 :( " in chat

I swear they must pay these kids in advance to deliberately get the answers wrong for entertainment value/boomer rage porn. Let’s be honest in this shitty economy right now someone gives you a few thousand dollars to get basic questions wrong you’ll do it.

Few thousand? Yeah, but even if they did pay these people they are definitely not getting even close to a thousand each

[@Emmanuel-gl1de]

I think the problem is more putting people on the spot a random evening in a fair than them being dumb. Not knowing answers to general questions doesn’t make someone dumb at all. It can be correlated but it’s mostly the case that they don’t have good memory because they don’t care generally or in the moment and are stressed by it. A way better way of showing intelligence is problem solving in a calm environment. Some of the people in the video still must be pretty low iq tho lol

@@phantomstranger1125 this doesn't seem true, most people never enter an interview without a wait time. Obviously there are people who can do that. But in general it shouldn't be prioritized, and should give people time to prepare.

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

What's crazy to me I the fact that there is SO MUCH information available. They just have no incentive to utilize it. No proper teachers, and a system that instead incentivizes wage slavery based consumerism. Ask these people what their interests are. They don't have many. Hobbies and deep dives into interests. They have none. Why? Because they are all consumed with work and the consumerist cycle.

Everyone keeps acting like this is a reflection of bad education in the US whereas correlation is not causation here. Yeah the US has a bad educational system but these people were literally put in the spot, most likely coming off of drinking/partying, and asked really run around questions that you genuinely wouldn’t need to know in day to day life.
