It is the destruction of Intellect.

I was shopping the other day and the girl at the register, 17-19 years old, could not figure out what coins made 38 cents. She paused for a bit and just grabbed some coins and handed it to me.

Yes, it's very rare these days to find a clerk who knows how to count change. She probably learned the really important life skills in school like how to put a condom on a cucumber. Who has time for math?
