I saw a comment this weekend. One of the anticipated skills you probably will have to learn in the near future....is how to cope with an increasingly illiterate society of emotionally dysregulated people.
I thought about this 'coping' mechanism required.
When you refer to illiterate....we are suggesting a 18 to 30 year old 'kid'....who has the knowledge level and maturity of a 12-year old 'kid'. If you asked them to define a quarter of an hour.....they can't come to 15 minutes. If you asked them read a simple to-do list....they'd have questions that take up to an hour.
West coast kids more affected southern kids? I would imagine so.
Military to be the first place where this problem is noted? Yeah...probably so.
Us old guys (65 to 90)? Yeah....we probably will be dragged back into the work-force...to 'kick-butt' and cuss-out the emotionally distraught folks.
