In this episode of The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel tackles the alarming decline of critical thinking and the overall "dumbing down" of America. From Gen Z's sinking cognitive scores—which experts blame on heavy screen reliance replacing deep study—to grown adults who are strangely proud of not understanding basic technology, Lionel explores how our culture is losing its intellectual edge.
He dives deep into the role of family culture in educational success, the relentless march of technology from floppy disks to AI, and the frustrating societal lack of curiosity about everything from medical history to extraterrestrials. Tune in for a passionate, no-holds-barred discussion on why society needs to wake up, wash its hands, and start thinking critically again!
