I’m either a boomer zoomer or a baby millennial since I was born in ‘95. I am grateful to have only a few close friends, and they all read, but I agree with your assessment that by-and-large my peers do not read. I think the average American high school graduate nowadays knows something like 10-15,000 words where it was 50,000 sixty years ago. The American education system is now (and has been) exclusively in the production of midwit wageslaves that are just smart enough to be wageslaves but too dumb to be actually effective citizens. This, in conjunction with the nuclear-level brain-numbing capability of smartphones, will propel the downfall of the West with even more velocity.

I’m also a woman, and I find it endlessly irritating that my female predecessors made such a stink about women going to school and becoming educated only to be complicit in the raising of their daughters as whinging strumpets. Modern women are so historically ignorant and horrendously ungrateful it makes me embarrassed to be associated with them. Imagine being able to attain all the same educational opportunities as men only to write utter drivel like pic rel. I find it both despairing and enraging that modern women continue to guzzle the corporate lie about motherhood being merely an option as opposed to a moral good. Being a mother is not the only thing you can do with your life, but it is probably the best thing you can do with it. I wish more women realized this or even entertained the notion of it. Particularly zoomer women. We’re gonna have to turn this train around somehow, sometime, before population decline really gets out of control.
