Dumbing Down a Generation
How we did it. How we fix it.
We can’t understand others until we understand ourself. Who we are, the person in the mirror, is the first and toughest one to understand.
It took four generations to break it. It will take one generation to fix.
We broke it with a gradual cultural change. We fix it with cultural change.
“If you keep adding steps to ease the climb, eventually the last step will be the last step. There will be no place else to go but down. If you keep adding blocks to the foundation, your structure is only limited by how high you want to build.”
Your vision determines your destination. Eyesight shows what’s in front of you. Vision tells us what’s ahead, over the horizon.
