Dumbing Down the Future - Mike Judge's Idiocracy This is an especially fun one! This week Mr. Chavez & I take a trip into a very funny, very frightening, and very likely future. In 2006 20th Century Fox released Mike Judge's Idiocracy in a manner that almost guaranteed that no one would ever see it. . . . but the film would survive. Judge's bleak and pessiimistic vision of the future - the year 2505 - would find a cult audience that would embrace its hilarious prediction of a Professional Wrestler President, warehouse stores as a kind of Mecca, Fast-Food Restaurants as cheap, disgusting food and sex providers, and a population of such minimal intelligence that an "Average Joe" cryogenically frozen and awoken in the future would find himself the "Smartest Man on Earth". Judge spares no targets and we are grateful for the ride Idiocracy takes its viewers on. There's a whole lot to unpack here. Great Satire is usually ahead of its time and that is surely the case with this film. Judge would later joke, "I'm no prophet, I was off by 490 years." Sadly, he was right. Take a listen and let us know if you agree. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.

There's a bit of pushback coming from some sectors in the education business towards the reading, writing, and maths tests. These are the tests we are failing. Those who are failing mostly come from poor backgrounds. I'm not sure equating monetary status and academic success should be a thing. But a bunch of principals from the "poorest communities" have got together to lobby the Government to stop the tests because they say it will lead to more kids leaving school with no qualifications. After two rounds of these tests more than half failed reading and writing and 75% failed numeracy. You can't get university entrance if you don't get these grades. Now, there is no doubt that failure affects attitude and there is equally no doubt that for some the “give it up” scenario must be tempting if the hurdle is too high. But then there's also no doubt that allowing kids to leave school having failed is a failure in and of itself. Any country that has any level of success globally is not a country that goes soft on education. The principals' answer is the answer that has failed us for years, which is also the Chris Hipkins Covid answer - give them something for nothing. An alternative to an exam is the extra 20 credits scenario that is due to expire at the end of 2027. They want that made permanent and instead of 20 credits they want it made into 60 credits. So, like Hipkins and Covid, extra credits for not actually doing anything. Just extra credits for life being a bit crap right now. No one gains when we do this. It is excuse making. It is an acceptance that we fail, and are failing, and failure is part of what we do. You can either read and write or you can't. You can either add up or you can't. And if you can't, having people pretend you can, won't fix anything. Part of why this country is where it is, is because we are apologists in areas like this and instead of being determined to fix it, we set about looking for ways to excuse it.

Everybody knows America's public school systems have fallen in ratings and standards these past years, and are failing to educate children in the ways they need to lead fruitful, prosperous lives. But it's not enough to be aware of the sad state of America's education systems. It's high time to do something about it. If we want an America that's led by people who understand the concept of American Exceptionalism, who recognize the roots of American Exceptionalism, and who know what it takes to win the war against American Exceptionalism -- and keep individual liberties intact for decades to come -- we need to educate the coming generation of leaders to love and cherish America. Nicholas Giordano, as a college professor and media figure, sees first hand how the dumbing down of America has led to a large population of ignoramuses. He has much to say about how to reverse this sad and sorry trend.
How could madness dominate social media and politics? People are getting stupider. Brain damaging trends are dumbing down the population. Heavy metals, toxic chemicals, COVID, wildfire smoke an aging population, and climate stress all threaten intelligence. Now add…“TikTokfication”. We talk with scientist “Mr. …
The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – The battle for America's future is in full swing. Education is under attack, history is being erased, and politicians are betraying their constituents. Common Core cripples literacy, while executive orders face constant threats. We must hold leaders accountable, fight corruption, and protect our children's future. If we don't act now, we risk losing everything.

The reason why is we're going to get real about how our daily digital gluttony ~ from scrolling through social media, Googling down one rabbit trail after another, perusing the pretend aisles of Amazon Prime, and reconnecting with old high school flames who slid into our DMs ~ is making us heartsick. Multiple highly regarded scientific studies over the past few years have revealed that the excessive time most of us spend staring at our phone screens has a negative impact on our neuro-pathways, as well as our primary relationships. Plus, there's irrefutable proof now that adolescents' brains ~ which are still developing ~ become more sensitive when anticipating social rewards and punishments over time with increased social media usage. In other words, the measurable result of all those hours our kids are spending on TikTok and viewing reels, is a heightened sense of insecurity and self-doubt. Not installing boundaries on the amount of digital data we're consuming every day is the neurological and emotional equivalent of giving a hungry fox the key code to our chicken coup, y'all! So here's the deal ~ after hanging out with my pastor today, Dr. Darren Whitehead ~ who's an expert when it comes to the corrosive consequences of the constant digital barrage of modern culture ~ we're going to invite you to join us for a relatively brief digital detox here at the beginning of 2025 and learn how making our smart phones a little dumber will make our relationships with God and each other a whole lot richer! For some of you saints this single conversation has the potential to change the trajectory of '2025 and not only redeem huge chunks of time locusts have devoured in your life but quite possibly begin the closing the intimacy gap you've unwittingly allowed your phone to create between you and the people you love. So please grab a cup of coffee, your Bible, and a notebook or journal and pull your chair up on the porch with us for this caboose of 2024 conversation. Happy New Year ~ we're really happy you're here. Save on Dwell hereLearn More about Upward Sports here

To dumb something down is to simplify content to make it more accessible for people with lower levels of intelligence and/or education. The term was originally coined in 1933 in the business of making movies. Learn more about dumbing down as read by Rachel Teichman, LMSW and Victor Varnado, KSN.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!During the early 1900s, the subjects taught in High School were much different than today. Greek, Latin, Math (without calculators), and Handwriting, just to name a few were expectations. If you didn't pass the required courses, you didn't graduate. Fast forward to today and we now offer remedial English and Math in college. Several other important lessons such as accountability, problem-solving, self-discipline, and simply showing up seem to be less important than making sure that everyone gets a blue ribbon, or a pass to the next level whether it is earned or not. After all, we don't want to leave anyone behind even if they failed to put in any effort at all. It just wouldn't be fair.So how does this impact today's leaders? Global statistics show that 75% of all leaders are failing. Other studies show that less than 10% of all leaders have the ability to lead effectively. Is there a correlation between failing leadership and the dumbing down of the education system?Rich and Maikel discuss why hard lessons are important in leadership development in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

Jameela Jamil is goddess category, and laughs at us for saying so. This denial of her charm is precisely what we mean.

She's somehow a sort of divine hybrid of Taylor Swift, Gloria Steinem and Beyonce. Flaws and all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Dumbing down, published by Martin Sustrik on June 9, 2024 on LessWrong. In past few years I've been blogging in Slovak, that is, downscaling from writing in English, a language with 1457 million speakers to a language with 7 million speakers. From the point of view of the writer, this has been a very different experience. It's not only that for a topic that interests one million English speakers, the equivalent is five thousand in Slovakia, scaling down by factor of 200. It's also that topic that interests 100 English speakers, interests one half of a hypothetical Slovak speaker, that is, nobody. In fact, not everybody reads blogs, so the population in question is likely smaller by an order of magnitude or even two, resulting in even more fractional Slovaks... In other words, the reader population is not as big as to fill in all the possible niches and the writing thus has to become much more generic. It must also be "dumbed down". Not because Slovaks are less intelligent than other nations, but because the scale of the existing discourse is much smaller. While in English, not matter how esoteric your topic is, you can reference or link to the relevant discussion, in Slovak it often is the case that there's no discussion at all. The combination of the two factors above means that you have to explain yourself all the time. You want to mention game theory? You have to explain what do you mean. You want to make a physics metaphor? You can't, if you care about being understood. You want to hint at some economic phenomenon? You have to explain yourself again. And often even the terminology is lacking. Even such a basic word as "policy" has no established equivalent. I had to ask a friend who works as a translator at the European Commission, just to be told that they use word "politika" for this purpose. Which is definitely not a common meaning of the word. "Politika" typically means "politics" and using it for "policy" sounds really strange and awkward. (All of this gave me gut-level understanding of how small populations can lose knowledge. Joe Henrich mentions a case of small Inuit population getting isolated from the rest and gradually losing technology, including the kayak building skills, which in turn made it, in a vicious circle, unable to import other technology. This kind of thing also tends to be mentioned when speaking of dropping fertility rates and possible inability of a smaller global population to keep the technology we take for granted today. Well, I can relate now.) Anyway, it's interesting to look at what kind of topics were popular in such a scaled-down environment. Interestingly, the most popular article (17k views) was a brief introduction to Effective Altruism. I have no explanation for that except that it was a chance. Maybe it was because I wrote it on December 29th when there was not much other content? The readers, after all, judging from the comments, were not convinced, but rather experienced unpleasant cognitive dissonance, when they felt compelled to argue that saving one kid at home is better than saving five kids in Africa. (From comments:) Nice article. I've decided to support charity on regular basis, but here in Slovakia, even if it's more expensive, because I think that maintaining life forcibly in Africa, where it is not doing well, goes against the laws of nature. I can imagine Africa without the people who kill each other in civil wars, who are unable to take care of their own offspring and the country. If someone wants to live there, mine diamonds or grow coffee, they should go there and start life anew, and perhaps on better foundations than the ones damaged in Africa years ago by the colonizers. A series of articles about Swiss political system (all together maybe 10k views). Interestingly, the equivalent in English was popular o...

One professor is spearheading an effort to bring "indigenous math" into the classroom. What does that mean exactly? We'll discuss. Also, more high profile Democrats refuse to condemn the "death to America" chants. A student in North Carolina is suspended for using the term "illegal alien" in class.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – The Washington Supreme Court believes the Bar Exam is racist and says it's no longer necessary. “The [exam] as it stands right now, is not doing the job we all believe it was intended to do. What it does do is prevent people of color and historically marginalized groups from practicing law...
Elites inside the country are working together with our enemies overseas to wage emotional and psychological warfare on America's children. Just like Mao's “Cultural Revolution” in China, the goal is to dumb down the young generation so they will be unable to resist the escalating onslaught against our Constitution, our society, and our founding ideals. On this special edition of “Off Leash,” Erik interviews Kimberly Fletcher, the founder and president of Moms For America. For the past 20 years, Moms For America has been on the front lines of the fight for America's future. Erik and Kimberly discuss what's happening and what we can do defend our country from this attack.

Join us for part two of our conversation with Nikki Pederson, a talent scout and coach, and fearless 'late bloomer,' takes us through her new transition, from owning her own agency to helping women succeed in business and life. We discuss the perils of social media with Nikki's first-hand accounts, from pernicious trolls to the world of internet fame. Her latest project, the 'Dumbing Down of America' series, serves as a testament to her bravery and commitment to respectful dialogue. Her stories range from high school cliques, and her roles in the beauty pageant system, to encouraging young acting talent on to some of the world's famous stages, always moving forward with purpose and vulnerability. Nikki leaves us with a reflection on the balance between personal boundaries and the universal desire for connection, her thoughts on prominent Americans ranging from Maya Angelou and Oprah, to Kim Kardashian. 00:00 - Start01:08 - Why it's "In Vogue" to be mean03:45 - "Dumbing Down of America"04:55 - The guy showing off his obesity on the internet08:20 - Body Image and Self Care11:08 - The boy testing toys online12:23 - "I'm in a transition in my life"13:12 - Thelma and Louise14:25 - Dude Perfect and Basketball Tricks 16:30 - The Pageant System and Mrs. Texas20:10 - "I've got something to say, and I'm going to say it."24:14 - The false image of perfection on social media33:39 - The Kardashian family36:40 - School outfits and Italian fashion42:02 - Faking confidence in High School45:46 - No longer a fan of Oprah50:15 - Maya Angelou said54:20 - Trashing Harry and Meghan57:40 - Our Next Guest and K9s4kids

Understanding the interactions between minerals and metals is essential for proper calcium metabolism and overall health. Balancing the oxidation rate is key to optimizing the utilization and partitioning of minerals in the body. Supplementing calcium and magnesium together is important to maintain the proper ratio between these minerals. Iodine supplementation should be done cautiously, considering individual needs and potential interactions with other elements. Selenium is crucial for detoxifying heavy metals, but its dosage should be carefully monitored to avoid imbalances. Retesting and understanding mineral interactions over time cycles is important for assessing progress and adjusting supplementation. Mineral balancing is a complex process that involves the interaction of various minerals and nutrients in the body. Heavy metal toxicity is a silent pandemic that is significantly worse than most people realize. Regulatory bodies often turn a blind eye to industry practices, leading to the presence of harmful chemicals in the food supply. There is a deliberate effort to dumb down society through low-level toxicity, preventing individuals from questioning and seeking higher knowledge. Summary: In this conversation, Clark Engelbert discusses the role of calcium in the body, the interactions between minerals and metals, and the importance of balancing the oxidation rate. He explains the need for calcium and magnesium supplementation, the benefits and risks of iodine supplementation, and the importance of selenium in a toxic environment. He also emphasizes the need for retesting and understanding mineral interactions over different time cycles. This part of the conversation explores the concept of time cycles in biological systems and how it relates to mineral balancing. The importance of retracing and the need for retesting in mineral balancing is discussed. The conversation also delves into the role of mineral balancing in detoxifying the body from mold, chemicals, and other toxins. The connection between mineral imbalances and mental health issues is explored, as well as the impact of minerals and metals on conditions like ringing in the ears and low blood pressure. This conversation explores the complexities of mineral balancing and the impact of heavy metal toxicity on society. It highlights the ineptitude of regulatory bodies and the deliberate dumbing down of society through low-level toxicity. The discussion also touches on the presence of chemicals in the food supply and the importance of mineral balancing for a healthier future.

Rebecca Baumgartner recently drew attention to the habit of many authors of popular nonfiction to write for an “audience of imagined idiots.” The folk wisdom these days is that regular folks just don't like to think and that the only way to get them to do serious intellectual work is to lure them with charming anecdotes and digestible little nuggets. Think TED talks. Is this true? We're not convinced. Tune in as we talk about the distinction between simplicity and oversimplification.
I mean that in the absolutely most positive way possible. Heck, I had to dumb down my fly tying when I started (and restarted) so that I didn't get so frustrated that I threw my vice through the wall. So, apologies out of the way, what do I mean by dumbing down fly tying? Some of the biggest hurdles that beginning tyers experience have to do with the sheer diversity of skills and materials that some common patterns incorporate in a tiny hook shank. All I'm advocating is taking a few steps out. You might be okay with this stripped down approach, or you could very well build from that baseline to go on to the next level. Either way, you're going to be tying flies that catch fish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Remember when Jehovah's Witnesses pretended to be teachers and Bible scholars? The Governing Body has successfully been 'dumbing down' the religion for over twenty years. Gone are the debates on the King of the North & South, Gog of Magog, or what every horn means on the beasts of Revelation. The pretense of 'depth' has been replaced with less meetings, disappearing publications, book carts, tablets, televangelism and kids cartoons. We take a look at the Great Dumbing Down of Jehovah's Witnesses.TWITTER: @exjwpodcastINSTAGRAM: survivingparadisepodcast
