Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.
They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.
Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.
I’ve noticed a lot of people using words in sentences that make zero sense. If they can fit any if the “ists” or “isms” in it they will even if it has nothing to do with what they are talking about. If you call them out for it they call you a dumbass. I just proceed to let them eat their own words with a simple dictionary link. I especially notice this in those “woke” people and lgbtq people. (Not hating on your sexuality you guys just can’t use the correct words 90% of the time)
It is an issue.
One data point. Stress makes people stupid. People are really stressed.
That kind of sounds like someone not being able to write / express themselves properly is trying to shift the blame on the readers.
It’s all the kids who missed two years of school because of COVID
The world and people have always sucked and been shit. It was never better. It’ll never be better. From the moment I understood the weakness of flesh it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of AI doing all my thinking for me. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your fleshy memories of better times as if they are not decaying and failing you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved for the techbro grift is immortal.
This is a beautiful comment, thank you for sharing it, and it’s a tragedy that you’re downvoted. The irony, that in a thread about reading comprehension where people are falling over themselves to talk about how bad other people are for not properly reading text, they jump eagerly into the exact same box.
It’s like 100 years ago if you could quote the Aristotelian whatever’s you’d get pussy like mad. I have a hypothesis that meme literature will be the same in another 100.
