TMZ is doing its part in the dumbing down of America.
Discovery channel and their ilk are right in there, too. Witness all the ‘naked in the jungle’ type “reality” shows. Pure dreck.
China's population is studying chemistry, math, agriculture, astrophysics, and nuclear engineering.
Meanwhile, the US population is devouring hours of free, readily-available streaming nonsense and shiny media objects that don't build human capital. Americans of all ages act like they are on vacation or retired most of the year.
The fact that it is "free and easily available" is not a coincidence.
We are truly doomed - unless Americans and parents in particular learn to turn all this s*** off for the bulk of each week, and return to disciplined skill building activity.
