This just in, courtesy of my chess buddies on my Playground Player Chessgames.com site:
It has become necessary to plead with teenagers not to eat Tide detergent pods (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/01/11/tide-pod-challenge-teens-eating-detergent-pods-and-posting-videos-online/1023583001/).
First there was a problem with toddlers putting these things in their mouths, probably because they look like candy, with sometimes fatal, and always serious, results. But then it took off as a youtube fad among teenagers: “the Tide Challenge.” Uh, you can get sick and die from this…
So just how stupid have we become? Meanwhile, we are lumbered with the biggest and costliest “education” system ever known in history, and those who pass through it seem to be getting dumber and dumber and dumber.
I wonder if it was something like this that happened to the Indus Valley civilization.
