It was the stuff we were putting in schools.

the screens that they were now being taught through seem to be having a big impact on that.

Yeah.

And some people say, look, going backwards is fine.

Because if you just take general IQ, right?

Our generation, we have about 130 IQ compared to our great grandparents, 100 IQ.

So if you slice it one way, that means half of us are geniuses.

Or slice it the other way, half of our great grandparents were mentally decrepit.

Of course that doesn't make sense.

So you've got to recognize what we've been developing through IQ isn't general intelligence.

It's a real specific kind of intelligence that we'll call school ability, or almost like a scientific conceptual way of viewing the world.

Our grandparents were very physical.

If it didn't matter to me and my farm and my immediate surrounding, they didn't need to know it.

We have a much broader view.

So as kids start to kind of regress back, somebody made the argument, well, maybe they're getting better at physical stuff.

They're just going back to what our great grandparents were doing.

Have you hung out with young kids?

The one thing they are not is hyper-physical.

So it's not that we're going back in a good way.

We're kind of regressing into an unknown where I don't see any real benefit or growth to what they're doing, anything better than what anyone else has been doing.
