I remember World Book. I will also guess that the info in those books was not as tainted as they would be today.
I saw a post on X yesterday where some young guy posted a pick of the space shuttle riding atop the airplane that was used to move it back to base. He was joking it was AI.
The guy had to be told that it wasn’t AI slop, but that was actually very real. Obviously, we have to wonder if they learn much of anything from the past in schools now.
“we have to wonder if they learn much of anything from the past in schools now”
I never would have believed it until I saw what Americans were willing to do during covid just because they were told to without challenging it at all.
Apparently this country is now full of mindless mouth breathers that can’t think for themselves.
