the main reason everyone today is dumbre than in any other time is because everyone thinks hes so clever and sophisticated that he doesnt need to learn anything. for the first time, people thinks they have literally nothing to learn from the past. how about some humility?

This is why I hate Conservatives & Randfags. Holding back the magnificent progress our beautiful race can achieve when we work together, instead of working alone, scheming against one another & generally being greedy bastards.
