I once witnessed a German person explaining the holocaust to an Israeli person. The world is collectively getting more stupid.
Edit: maybe it isn’t, but social media is definitely helping us reach our stupidity potential.
The world is not getting more stupid, cross-generational memory has always been flawed. If we want to give new generations the tools to build a better future, we either need to teach them to learn from our collective experience (history) or to think of consequences ahead of time (futurology and ethics). Otherwise they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
