I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

Nonsense. Literacy in developed countries continues to be 99% or higher and the world at large is quickly becoming more literate. Globally, literacy is almost at 90%.

Zoomzooms are much more politically and socially aware than the boomercattle who spent all their lives watching television. The real problem is not that kids don't read, but that tiktok and other social media is frying their brains. There will be an underclass for the elites to exploit but that underclass will be created by mongrelizing and replacing whites with browns. The future West will be a close copy of China, maybe to a lesser degree in the USA since their Constitution still grants them actual human rights. Social engineering by tech companies was always limited by the freedom of the Internet but that's why governments worldwide are just stepping in to ban VPNs, wrongthink and anything against their agenda. I must say though, this doesn't really apply to females, who already are extremely easy to herd.

Good point. Oh, that explains the fearmongering regarding this or that kind of surveillance "already here", "it's literally 1984 now", "Palantir" meme and such.
