Reason why people vote Liberal and NDP postulated below. This problem plus all the parasites that want money for nothing is driving Canada into debtor bankruptcy.


Overexposure to stupid ideas is making us stupider.
The world appears to be getting dumber. IQ scores are slipping. Student test scores are down. Adults increasingly struggle with reasoning.

One popular explanation is that social media’s infinite scroll is rewiring our brains, one dopamine hit after the next.

But in a sharp essay for New York Magazine, Lane Brown contends that social media’s real harm has less to do with scroll-induced brain rot than with the widespread platforming of morons.

“Not so long ago, the dolts among us were free to think their thoughts quietly to themselves with no easy way to share them,” he writes. Now “we can see the full distribution of human thought in one infinite scroll, and it turns out the median is lower than we ever could’ve imagined.

In theory, this is the democratization of expression. In practice, it feels like a crowdsourced lobotomy.” —Jared Sullivan
