We don't get less intelligent every generation. It irritates me to no end when people are so ignorant. Every single fucking generation has been looked on as retarded by the older one because they bring in new customs and trends that seem silly or stupid to the older generation, who remains obliviously unable to accept that they were just as retarded as the new generation, just in a different way and for different reasons. The world is getting smarter with every generation, and being stupid was never really fatal except back when we had natural enemies.

This logic

Way ahead of ya.

Wrong. We're getting smarter with each generation, but more ignorant. Oh the irony.

1) That's not how the meme works
2) No. That's not true. We get smarter each generation, because fuckin science keeps discovering new things. It's great. Stupid people have always existed, there's no reason to think that people are getting worse.

I'm so tired of hearing about how my generation are all semi-retarded and that if my parents had just beaten me a little more, I wouldn't have turned out so bad. People have been bitching about the newest generation and claiming their own's superiority since the dawn of man. I bet people in the 1800s used to be all "back in my day, if we had to go somewhere, we walked! Now every kid you see has his own horse. What happened to the good old days?" There really isn't one generation that's better than all the others. My grandparents generation may have been more hard-working than ours, but they were also racist, sexist, and overall intolerant. Every generation has its setbacks. This one happens to be the unusually large supply of idiots.

People are getting smarter, and people are getting dumber.
Anyone who says to kill all the idiots has to realize that without the idiots, there are no geniuses.

exponential growth, followed by exponential decline.

But... we're getting more intelligent every generation. We just have way, WAY more advanced social media then we used to, so it seems like people do stupid stuff more often, when in reality, people have always done stupid stuff.

If you don't believe me, ask an elderly person for help with your math. They probably didn't even know that letters could be a part of math.

well not so much stupidity but general weaknesses like lactose intolerance and allergies that would have been bred out because, well you know, the ones with them would have died before spreading their genes.. the stupidity comes from lack of education and discipline, children need to be put into line. i was punished corporally as a child if i didn't do my chores, acted out or if i didn't do my homework and i've turned out to be a decent hard working contributor of society, if anything it's the laws that we have now days banning parents from hitting their kids if they do something wrong that are the main problem with children being idiotic fools with their swag and yolo shit. if i were to have been like that i'd have had my head slapped and told to button down and do my school work by my step dad, my mother would have had me cleaning all the dishes in the cuboards and cleaning the house by scrubbing the floor, walls and roof or polishing all the shoes and then cutting the edge of the lawn with a pair of scissors or doing push ups, sit ups and running on the treadmill till i almost passed out before sitting me down and making me do my homework and then some.. she used to be a drill sergeant in the air force and knew how to get shit done, she even did room inspections and had us up at the crack of dawn to do what we were supposed to do.. and this was from the age of six

Essentially, we are fucking up natural selection.

Having read some of those labels, I think it's a great thing that it's a special occurrence in the U. S. of fukken A.

In my country, those idiots don't get past early childhood. And this country is rich.
