"to dumb us American's down" We have literally been doing that to ourselves, for about 30 years now. We've absolutely been steadily handicapping our education system for decades. "wars are raging" Um who starts wars? Politicians, exclusively. What is the average age of politicians? Let's put it at 60's to be charitable. You do the math. It seems that TikTok, which you state, and GenZ, which you imply, don't have anything to do with the major issues that you attribute to them. This whole ranting incoherent comment kind of highlights the kind of behavior that has caused those major issues; complete rejection of reality in favor of screaming at scapegoats. Actually sounds a lot like someone who was in court today.

I was not implying GenZ is responsible for the wars. TikTok isn’t helping though, either. Misinformation being spread (on all sides) and being eaten up (and parroted) by our youth. So you can be obtuse and read what you wanted to read, you can equate me to someone you hate to justify your anger, but again it’s not me you should be angry with. I completely agree it’s politicians who start wars. These same idiots are watching the same crap their kids are showing them - on TikTok. Why else would there be a congressional hearing over Chinese spying over an app about dancing and narcissistic behavior? So who is rejecting reality? Here’s the reality. There are two (2) wars being fought. Both of which are being fueled by propaganda and misinformation being spread causing reactions, counter-reactions, and 3rd parties to pick sides. One of these wars has been brewing off and on for 50 years, with no path forward. Now there’s talk of occupation. The other, fueled by misinformation and lies. This isn’t some guy on HN crying about kids these days, it’s a genuine warning that if we (the hacker/coder/inventor) community don’t stop it, we won’t have a community because Russia or North Korea or some idiot with a spray tan will nuke the reality in which we have known all our lives.
