It's not just my perceptions but people from the latest generation in America really are lazier and dumber than ever before.
I think that plot was the basis for my last half dozen or so jobs.There was a movie about that where this average guy sleeps for some number of years and wakes up as the smartest guy standing.
I think you are referring to movie called IdiocracyThere was a movie about that where this average guy sleeps for some number of years and wakes up as the smartest guy standing.
Careful now! -- We don't want to marginalize underachievers! After all, indolence isn't a choice, but, rather, a politically protected lifestyle! --- Ain't new-think grand!

You use the word indolence to describe the attitude of today's modern underachievers... I would've rather used complacency... still, I think you diagnosed the problem head-onCareful now! -- We don't want to marginalize underachievers!

I keep telling my kids that the world is their oyster, they just have to be my generation's version of 'average' to be super-successful today.There was a movie about that where this average guy sleeps for some number of years and wakes up as the smartest guy standing.
The purpose is never to learn anything, it is to see that you still have groupthink approval.It would help if we got rid of smart phones and social media...
What the hell are you going to learn from other people that are as dumb as you are?
It took a bit of digging, but I found the actual report.

One word: entitlement ... that's what bothers me most too...The complacency and belief that someone owes them something rather than having to work for it themselves is what bugs me the most and apparently its not just a thing related to the US and the latest generation either
No. Not at all.Ain't new-think grand!
Great movie. Well I say great but I'm falling into the trap by using that word. Its coming though. N.B. I try hard before my posts but at my age and with all the mini me's running my life I need a Thyme Musheen to pretend I'm 14 and have a hope.There was a movie about that where this average guy sleeps for some number of years and wakes up as the smartest guy standing.
I've thought throughout my life (well, since I was old enough to ponder such things) that I was born in the wrong time. I can't relate well to others in my generation and identify more with people my dad's age and older. But I supposed I could choose to view my misfitness as a gift. Maybe my arrival was purposely postponed by a higher power so that I may come into this world and totally own it, with little effort. It is so easy to be exceptional among the sea of mediocrity. Or idiocracy if you prefer (I do).I keep telling my kids that the world is their oyster, they just have to be my generation's version of 'average' to be super-successful today.
The story of my life too...... I was born in the wrong time.
My kids are exceptional, not just my narrow view but other people that meet them tend to make special effort to let me know: Teachers, neighbors, ... I don't know if it is work-ethic, natural ability or active parenting (or a combination of their entire development).I've thought throughout my life (well, since I was old enough to ponder such things) that I was born in the wrong time. I can't relate well to others in my generation and identify more with people my dad's age and older. But I supposed I could choose to view my misfitness as a gift.

It is worth noting however, that this lackluster generation was raised by the so called better generations that came before it. Garbage in, garbage out. Once again, a gift for me. I should not attribute the overwhelming unclaimed opportunities left behind by my generation to some higher power. I have the baby boomers and their offspring to thank for that.
I think earlier someone hit it on the head; once kids get into a group excluding anyone to challenge their perspective it's a collective intelligence of ignorance. Ignorantly un-aware in the cost of their apathy.I've thought throughout my life (well, since I was old enough to ponder such things) that I was born in the wrong time.
