      Watching GenZ/Millennials play an old Trivial Pursuit deck in a bar is a source of unending amusement. "Where is the Sea of Tranquility?" "Vietnam!" "Thailand!"

      "Where was the 1962 World Fair?" "Your mom's house." [Laughs] Was in Seattle, where they're apparently from.

      "What country is the Black Forest in?" Nobody knows. Reads answer: "West Germany." "This game is really old." "Must be from before Gorbachev," as if we're talking about Jesus Christ.

          Before everyone @'s me, I get it, education isn't really about knowing things anymore, and trivia games in a Google Age are pointless. They've adapted to their environment. It's an interesting question though what happens when humans don't really know anything factual anymore.

          I'm old enough to remember a time when if you wanted to know about a thing, you either found someone who did, or found a book about it, both of which could be rare. Entire jobs--teacher, mechanic, scholar/experts of various flavors--existed only because Wiki and YouTube didn't

          To Gitmo with all of them. We screwed up on this generation and America needs to take a mulligan.

          I'm horrified by this whole thing. This generation (more notably in some areas) embodies both fashionable stupidity and reacreational outrage, but instant access to everything seems to have extinguished any need for recall, leaving little opportunity to synthesize internally.

          Having the USSR be a real country sounds like a time that’d also include the HRE. It’s fucking weird how recent it was
