- Another incredible video from Justin. Can you believe how many people don't know what continent they are on right now? Or who the US got their independence from? Someone thought this country was founded in the 1920s and nobody knows math. Wild times... Make sure you guys give Justin a follow, he's a super smart up-and-comer. This was a great collab, follow him, he's the man! Please leave us a super thanks, we are gonna split them!

3x3x3 = 27, not 9.
I’m torn with these video’s. I love them… and hate them!
@@HypnoticHollywood Thanks, none of us knew that.
@@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome He's wrong everybody knows 3 × 3 × 3 is 333! 🤦♂️
Super duper thanks to both of ya'll.
Politicians love that these kids are our future.
exactly, they made it this way
Tyranny is easier when the masses are dumb.
People are getting dumber by all those corporations jeez I'm glad I don't live in the US
All the stupid crap and outright lies that are obvious isn't intended for everyone who already knows these things, it's intended for the kids. The grown idiots who aren't any brighter are just a perk, but it's for the kids of today. That's why there's wall-to-wall bullshit.
Lmaooo you voted them in office not these guys so who is more dumb?
All Americans should be required to take a citizenship test for voting privileges.
All countries should adopt a meritocratic system. Stupidity should not be given any power.
Used to be that we were taught citizenship principles & history in high school (over the course of a few weeks), and there was indeed a test at the end. Guess that’s not a thing anymore, apparently.
Nonsense Idea.
Intelligence test it should be. Globally! And also no voting before the age of 25. before 25 99.99% of people are morons.
Noone DUMB or NOT understanding whats going on should be allowed to vote.
If someone watches CNN thats basically a K.O criteria. If someone thinks any place in Europe has socialism they are also disqualified for being idiots because Europe does not have socialism. Half of it HAD it and ALL of that half HATES IT!
Also socialism does not work in real life without killing everybody that wants freedom. People are not identical robots and the ELITE and LOBBYISM is the only thing that does well in socialism. Like basically everything those anti-capitalist fools hate (who btw have no clue what capitalism is) is WORSE in communism.
Social Market Economy is CAPITALISM. Thats what Germany has for example.
And btw I am from Europe. I speak 5 languages.
@Header_Guard “universal suffrage for white men” was basically the outcome of the Revolutionary War. Declaration of Independence => War with England => Articles of Confederation, which didn’t last long, then Continental Congress and US Constitution. The Constitution provided for voting for all citizens (which was then understood to mean male citizens who were not slaves). Then of course voting rights extended when slavery was ended (1860s) and again to women in 1920.
The "vote" means nothing but a perpetuation of the system.
Imagine these folks sitting on a jury listening to expert testimony and deciding the fate of someone.
Imagine these folks being the defense lawyers, prosecutor, judge or even politicians making the laws in the first place. Dw, you don't have to imagine too hard it's already happening.
Too late....AND they vote too!
Nah. You have to registered to vote to be on a jury. These kids wouldn’t know where to go to register.
As a French Canadian, it's painful to see that I know more about US history than some young Americans😢
Well, your country is doing no better with Trudeau....
as a french french I know more than them, but I guess it's easy to make believe anything to people who know nothing and to enslave them
It's not just the fact that they're ignorant. It's the fact that they're wilfully, joyfully ignorant. When presented with a question they don't know, they laugh like it's funny. There is not a single shred of embarrassment or shame.
These people know nothing. Which means they can be lied to about anything. Politicians LOVE these people.
Agreed. I would add that the fact that there is no shame is the parents fault. Not the teachers, not the government, not their pers and not the neighnors. The bloody parents obviously are either as stupid or they dont give a shit about their offspring.
Laughing like that is usually a sign of embarrassment.
Thats most humans when left alone, not directed/teached/raised the right way. That is the end state of americanism.
How do you expect kids to learn something if no one is teaching them?
In Europe, you can't pass a grade if you don't know such things (those are 4 or 5th elementary school grade questions). And if after 2 years of being in the same grade, you still didn't learn anything, they'll put you in school for _special_ people.
But come on man it’s the thing you know in their hands that thing! Smart phones and social media have and are destroying people and families! Who knew it took just a smartphone to bring this world back to the dark ages.
As a British myself, it HURT to hear the guy think that Britain and England fought against each other 😭😩
Well to be fair they have quite a bit lol
historically they did, the Scot vs England did fight
Didn't they? In the Irish Scottish Whales war of 1812 where America won,
Pretty sure they did bro
Well technically yes, but we specify the countries specifically because it’s just a bit…unsettling to say Britain fought England
Well, they were thinking about the Civil War, just not the American one
As a non-American, seeing young Americans who know less about their own country is sad and scary. Nevermind "Making America Great", going by these superstars, making it mediocre would be an improvement.
Trump has NOTHING to with this. This is a result of leftists becoming teachers and ruining our schools with their personal opinions and politics.
These videos are likely cherry picked to show the dumb ones and making it seem like all Americans are this dense.
In reality, a lot of Americans do know the answers to these questions.
Maybe I’m just optimistic about the intelligence of the average American, but in my 30 years of life, I have yet to meet someone as dense as any of these folks in This video and I live right next to LA, so that says something.
This is not only frightening but it is terrifying. What is the Dept. of Education doing about this? Shame, shame shame!
The Dept of Education can't stop people from making misleading videos.
Probably NOTHING:
AI and its Impact on Society
Oct 31, 2023
We must ask ourselves, "What will happen when AI has taken 85% of jobs present today? What will we do? How will we eat and survive without incomes from jobs or other means?" What is disturbing is that while AI is taking these jobs, the gov't and the corporations have not done ANYTHING to prepare us for an AI'ed civilization. They have not said anything about major retraining of an entire economy to something else, and they have not followed up on a discussion of universal basic income.
It appears that the US gov't and the corporations intend to kill off the majority of Americans passively, through starvation from lack of income to buy food. (check and see if farming production is declining or will start to decline ahead of the "starvation phase") (also check to see if the "makeup" of robot equipment allocation would change to reflect a trend away from retail and services for the masses, possibly indicating an extinction of the American public - this means taking a robot from Chipotle and repurposing it for some other job not related to the public, or scrapping affected robots to be remade for some other purpose that has nothing to do with the public)
This way, there are only enough people alive to get some things done, and the rest is done by AI, and the survivors who planned this can claim the whole country for themselves. Imagine having an estate mansion half the size of a mall on several dozen thousand acres of land, and robots would be used to maintain and clean the estates and do the farming FOR THE ESTATE OWNERS. The White Man's wet dream of civilization. What will the Native Americans south of the US border do when they see this coming?
I love how Justin agrees with them when they're totally wrong.
keep em stupid lol
Hahaha me too
Just let people who they want to be....love not hate. They are brave and that's all that matters. And Justin does what every human should do....NEVER hurt others...be nice to them, treat them with respect....so what if you don't know what 1+1 is...some people are not as priviledged as others.
As long as you are a nice person...you don't need anything else.
Good job Justin for treating people with respect and kindness.
@@jimmyjimmy3289 If you don't know what's 1+1, you don't deserve to live.
No. They absolutely should be humiliated for this criminal level of willful ignorance.
Amazing how fast it goes from funny to heart breaking to just freaking sad.
literally the phases you go through in order while watching these lol. start off like "haha these young'ns are completely clueless" ... then you're like, "ok this is getting a bit out of hand now" ... then by the time you've finished the video you're like "well shit then; the future is doomed!".
I have watched a couple of these and find no humor whatsoever.
How about dangerous...pathetic...not sad bc these people...vote
It gets even more sad when you realize they are just out of high-school or still in it.
Unlike those of us who can answer all of these that have been out of school for 10+ years. lol
These videos give me hope that I will one day be interviewed and destroy everyone because I know the answers to these 3rd grade level questions, and worry me because I live in the same fucking country as these people.
As an African and former international student in the USA, this was *painful* 🤧 for me to watch. Many people want to study in America because we expect it to lead the way in world education but I guess that was too long ago. 😅
Many young people want to go to Amrika not to study but to lead a life of excesses.
Yeah, if you come study here you'll realize the reality of American intelligence. Chinese students have to cheat to compete. They speak Chinese during tests and congregate to even get close.
Learn Spanish and study in Perú. You'll blow the doors off them 'Merikuns in academics.
Speaking as an American, I can tell you that our educational system is broken.
@@Bhtucker415 Maybe lower level education could be considered broken.... but simply put this video is a fallacy if you think this is the general American population. Its all cherry picked.
As a European watching this, I find it fascinatingly tragic and hilarious at the same time

Read "Dumbth: The Lost Art of Thinking" by the late Steve Allen.
The amount of people whose default setting is to simply laugh at their own ignorance is terrifying.
Why???? Stupidity has been celebrated in this country for decades now; just look at MSM or look at our VP.
Number.
Whose.
Amount is perfectly acceptable. Who's was.a typo. Neither one is an example of ignorance when asked a question.
@@Skullview666 Amount is not acceptable.
Number is used for things that can be counted, while amount is used for things that cannot be counted.
So number is used when counting individual units of something and amount is used collectively indicating mass, like as an overall measurement when not individually.
If you gave everyone in a group of ten people a pint of beer, then the number of people given a beer would be ten, but the amount of beer given out would be ten pints.
You should not say the amount of people given a beer was ten, nor should you say the number of beer was ten pints when it is the amount of beer was ten pints, although you can say the number of beers given out was ten because that accounts for individual units.
So the number of people is correct and not the amount of people.
Please, PLEASE show us a video of people nailing all the answers...I can't take this anymore!
Dude, you made me cry..actually these people made me cry.
These are so insane to me. I went to horribly rated public schools and I can’t imagine my peers missing these questions.
Fr i feel like these are scripted bc there's no possible way a human can be this clueless
i dropped out of high school and this video makes me feel like a genius
@@sil9411 you havent been out in the real world much if you are giving people the benefit.
Edit we also do not know how many were edited out that knew the answer
I'm the opposite. Millenial though, class of '007, guess what our theme was. My peers were so lazy the teachers decided passing meant showing up for class, not turning in half the assignments and failing the rest, then failing a senior project but presenting why you didn't complete it meant you get to graduate. They are incentivized to get kids out of the system, and are willing to corrupt a diploma so those kids who didn't bother learning squat can still get a job. It really bites for those of us who did put in the effort and still passed with flying colors, but hey, not like adults ever listened to kids anyway. They know what's best and we just get to deal, even when we're all competing in the same job market before college and we all have a diploma, which means we're all equal smh.
And yes, the kids who never bothered to learn the difference between an adjective, noun and verb but stayed in school graduated.

I was born and grew up in the States. I went to grade school, high school and then to Purdue University where I earned a BS in microbiology. At age 26 I left the States for good and moved to Europe. Within a few months I realized that I was at a great disadvantage there because everyone else my age knew a great deal more than I did and could clearly think more analytically and critically.
It took me 7 years to get my PhD in biological cybernetics, catching up in the meantime on civil and social education, geography and other areas of general knowledge as well as learning to speak and write German. The first time I returned to the States on a lecture tour I went to Harvard to give a lecture. A British friend and colleague was lecturer there and he told me that the first weeks of teaching grad students was filled with teaching them to write a proper English sentence.
I see education failing world wide, especially in countries with strong conservative, nationalistic voters. One of these voters told me that educating people was not a good idea because it made them liberal. I had no idea what to say about that.
Put the crack pipe down, liberals own the schools and failed these students. You are out of touch with academia if you think for a second schools are conservative.
You think those people trying to answer those questions are republicans ? LOL
@@MD-km2jw No, those people are not likely to be interested in politics at all, but may vote. My experience is that many politicians make sure that they themselves get a good education, but conservatives know full well that their political agenda will not appeal to voters who have learned to think critically and who have seen more of the world. It doesn't in the USA and it doesn't in other countries.
Sorry but thats complete nonsense. The last part that is.
It is in no way conservative, nationalistic countries that do worse. It is the opposite. And no, liberals are not smarter at all. They never have been even. I furthermore dont trust your comment at all. You type the first part to establish credibility by verecundiam and the latter part is the political goal.
If you had any education you know im right and you are full of BS. SHAME on you!

School is viewed at as useless and you just need to get through it. You got your 1% exceptions. The reality is yes much of it is not going to be used and sadly its because they failed to use it lol. Yes i'm American. I promise not all americans are this stupid. Actually every country has these idiots but its almost like America brags about it with I don't care attitude.

Me and a friend were talking about how young people today are very adept at looking up information but not retaining it. Like if you ask an 18 year old to do some research on Google, Bing, whatever about a certain subject they could probably find that information faster than a 60 year old. But a 60 year old is more likely to actually remember that information and not have to use a search engine as often. People under 30 are basically lost without technology.
Literally lost. Can't navigate without GPS.

I know this is supposed to be entertaining (and it was at first), but I'm terrified for the future of this country. These people won't be able to compete in a global economy, nor are they willing to do any blue collar tradework. We might actually face complete societal collapse once Gen X and millennials start to retire.
We had college interns at work this past year and I legitimately thought they were handicapped for the first few weeks. I just assumed they were part of a special needs program or something until they started talking about their majors. They couldn't use a desktop computer, couldn't take/transfer calls, couldn't even shred documents properly.
I'm not even that old, I'm 28 and it's crazy to see how fast the education system has been degraded. Maybe it's just my state (Cali), I don't know man.
We're already there.

Being a European who who did a year of US highschool 25 years ago, i can say this: Not much have changed, business as usual.

@@hatch113 You're sadly but absolutely correct in your entire assessment. This ignorance that's being propagated in our society is reflected by our so called political leaders that these ignorant masses elect. The dumbing down of our country and its values has been a success. They conflate truths and facts with socialist propaganda becoming facists while believing they are virtue signaling. I'm of Latin descent, yet I'm seeing white people deriding other white people for being white, pretending they have a moral high ground.
Get your kids OUT of public school people! We did. never regretted it.
It's strange being from Europe and knowing all these answers. We had an entire semester dedicated to learning all Northern America history in our elementary school. I still remember this stuff and seeing these kids being oblivious to everything is devestating
The worst thing for me is that every time I hear "yes", I picture a teacher saying the same so as not to hurt their feelings. I hope you gave out participation awards.
Best comment.
Teachers are too busy teaching them their pronouns or what color they dyed their hair and what they did with their partners the night before
@@CeeBarrio1 CRT priority number one. This is where our history fades out, only to be replaced with another “his-story”.
Public school teachers are overwhelmingly lower IQ types who want a cushy job with lifetime benefits after only 25 years and 3 months off per year. There are plenty of worthless teachers out there for every 1 impressive one.

The fact he just says yes to every stupid answer makes me laugh so much.
YES.
It's also quite smart, because depending on privacy law in the state they might have to give you the authorization that you can publish the video - and if they think they did well it is much more likely that they will sign.
No it is not funny & they need to be corrected. That’s one reason they are so stupid because no one told them they are wrong.
@@Solidrock-jq6rp it's not about that.
He says “Yes” because it would wound their delicate feelings and publicly humiliate them to be told they had been wrong in answering trivia questions. Even though they had in fact been wrong.
I suspect that, decades ago, some studies revealed that success in school correlated with high self-esteem. Someone got the causation backwards, and ever since people have believed boosting self-esteem will result in successful learning, rather than successful learning resulting in high self-esteem.
I just love his "yes" at the end haha
_"What country did we gain our independence from?"_
"eh . . . UK?" . . . . _"Yeah !"_
Eh, nah, the UK wasn't formed until 1922, nearly 150 years after US independence.
The US gained independence from Great Britain or 'Britain', but not the UK.
Damn. In our school we didn't learn anything about the revolutional war between England and Britain.
this was news to me as well
revolutional
Quite an extreme case of self loathing (?)
Are you from the U.S.? if so how is that even possible? I was born, raised and lived in Mexico my entire life and even I learned about that in the ultra-crappy schools I had to go to.
The U.S. is even more hardcore leftist than I had thought.
Remember the war between the USA and America?
Should've also asked questions about the entertainment and sports industries. They would have nailed every question.

Idiocracy is no longer fiction.
Now I understand why companies are trying to retain their older workers.
My husband was just offered a high paying job at 70 because no young people have the skills or knowledge. He's only going to take it for 6 months. He wants to enjoy the rest of his life.
Well, NOW, perhaps, Jake Phillips, but I missed out on that advantage. I'll be 80 before the end of the year. When the decline of the United States and the rest of Western civilization was newer and not yet so alarming-I think it began in about 1963-older American job seekers were ignored because job providers were then mostly concerned that they would make them look bad. Because I can lay my hands on it, my favorite example of decline in Western civilization is a thirty-year-old English book from Oxford University Press that says something is amiss with the sentences "Is a bank near here?" and "In the kitchen is a table." Poppycock, balderdash, and nonsense, and standards are even lower today.
I regularly see evidence that adult Americans today cannot compose the simplest sentences without looking like 1955's sixth graders, or worse. Even responses to this video include samples of substandard spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and I take no pleasure in noting the fact; Western civilization does have enemies!
I had to leave the States in May 2001 to find work, and I'm still gone. I never made enough money to live there today on my Social Security.
@@wurds509 There is definitely a necessity for change and there are efforts to guide new people through a rapidly technologically changing society. It will take a serious shift in the educational system from focusing on plain knowledge to teaching an understanding of the value of knowledge.

Doesn't shock me a bit. I have a teaching degree. And I have lived elsewhere and they seem to know more about America than our students do.
The one guy that can't stop looking at his phone for the 30 seconds he's being asked these questions explains it all. These people have zero attention span if it's "boring," and have no desire to learn, or even challenge themselves in a meaningful way. If it doesn't have to with entertainment, the youth of today don't care. I bet any one of those people could answer any pop culture questions he might ask.
You said it right...
I saw one where the girl thought there was one year in a week but she named the Kardashians in 3 seconds. This country is doomed
But he knows how to curse so I bet he feels accomplished.
I hope you realized this is all by design, these people, the current youth will, will be voting communism in anytime soon. We're supposed to laugh and think is all cute, when it's actually sad and pathetic
I bet they can't answer basic questions about pop music, film and literature produced before 2000 either.
I'm a 17 year old Nigerian and I knew all the answers to the questions even if I've never been to the US, infact most Nigerians who were educated can even answer pretty much all the non US questions there...I can't believe I was actually dreaming of studying in the US😐😐😐
Me too
Do not let the uneducated impact your dream
Go to the US, study in a class full of idiots, go back to Nigeria with a US degree as Valedictorian and "Summa cum Laude", then start your own business and become a millionaire.
@@LLShiningOtter i think the bigger problem here is, that they dont teach kids BASICS (history, civil rights and obligations, biology, chemistry, basic math ...) enough. i went to elementary school in 1991 and ended in 1999. by the end of last year, there was exam where you had to pass if you wanted to finish elementary school and progress to high school. those questions? most of late elementary kids here knows the answer. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KIDS ! there is NO EXCUSE not to know your own neighbor countries. not knowing on which continent they live? not knowing an answer to simple math equation?!
Its not UNEDUCATED, but the system. system is failing and it get worse when you pass on high school, college and more. there are brilliant people in USA, had owrking too. but this? this is SHAME for (once great and praised) USA.
They will call us Balkan people and you Africans "third world", yet we seem to be way more educated about the world. I could name every european capital aged 6. Theese 20 somthing think africa is a country😅😅😅
I know where he found those kids. It is in on of the wealthiest areas of the country. The schools usually rank in the top 200 of the country. The kid who wore the Ramapo Raider shirts, goes to one of the top ranked public high schools in NJ.
As a high school teacher, I am actually proud to say that most of my students can actually answer these questions...and I'm a English Language Arts teacher.

@WeAreNotYourKind1990 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dude...I GET WHAT YOU MEAN. Like...why arent there more surveys online where people are getting the right answer? What was the sample size?

As a person that graduated from high school in 1971, I feel we have lost our education system completely. This was so sad!
It is...this coming from an OLDER Millenial(born in '87)
Graduated from high school in 2007 - and while our education system sucks, I admit, I think it also has to do with the upbringing...perosnally, I love reading - and my mom, primarily, made sure I not only read but wrote properly - and she'd get on my case for not knowing the 50 states of this country...she never discouraged me from learning about history or politics(but we - my older brother and I - were raised to not speak about politics nor religion outside our family member circle).
Just thought I'd share a bit, and vouch? for what you said.
@@AnastasiaSaenz first let me say thank you. Secondly I must say that you are blessed to have such a wonderful mother. Mine also encouraged us to read starting at the youthful age of 5. It opened the world to us. Young people like you give me hope that the country will be okay. I am sure you will make your mother proud when you pass this philosophy on to your children, if you are so blessed. My wife and I often talk about politics and religion with family and various people with mixed results. We feel it is our duty to do so, with respect and caution, because others are missing pertinent information and need the informed to help them delve into a thoughtful introspection of their own beliefs. Hard to do but I am sure you are capable of doing this with love. God bless you.
I’m 25 and didn’t go to college and I answered all these questions effortlessly. I’ve learned things like this out of my own personal interest rather than at school. I promise we’re not all this dim, but a good bit of us are, unfortunately. Very disappointed in my age group.
Joe White- Please don't be fooled. This is just a few selected people. Everyone else who knew anything was cut out of the video. And the video jumps between the same few selected people to make it feel like there are a lot more. The real question is, how many people did he have to go through to find this small number of people.
Catch people off guard, I can guarantee there are people I could find who won't be able to answer those questions from those born in 1971.
The one kid is Jewish. Depending on what school he falls under, he might not know in general. A lot of groups are diverse and can work like most other people. But there are also groups that don't allow for anything then their own way of life. Living and breathing the study of Hebrew. In which they become leaders of their communities. There is a community that is not too far from me, on occasion, I have spoke to them, and they almost always were extremely curious because they don't follow the same way of life like most Americans. There were also kids that I knew growing up that studied the language and culture but not to the extent of the Ultras. Those regular kids went to public school like everyone else but had to take night classes to learn their side.
they also used to teach Civics instead of Government.... they should do both... so many people don't even know their basic civil rights or how government SHOULD work... it's sad.
Wow that is shocking. Where was this filmed in the USA? I knew the US education system was inadequate but to ask teenagers or young adults these very basic questions and they had no clue at all is unbelievable. Incomparable in the developed world.
I love how 3x3x3 is the destroyer of minds.. Like they literally freeze like wild animals about to be hit by a truck.

How can you have unlimited access to knowledge, mandatory schooling till certain age, exams and everything and still be on a caveman’s level?
Apathy
We are cattle. Raised for consumption, not intelligence.
They don’t care. They only care about Switch and Tik Tok.
Cavemen were smarter than these kids, so don't drag innocent cavemen into the discussion please ;). Think about it, the cavemen had to solve problems every day to survive. No farming, no relying on wellfare, no guns to hunt with. They had to learn to trap and catch wild animals, which is not as easy as one might think.
When 90% of the students go to schools that have virtually no economic incentive to provide a good product, then it can't be unexpected for the classrooms to be little more than holding cells.
Imagine if swimming instructors couldn't be fired, penalized or disincentivized for "graduating" students who drown.
This hurts on so many levels.
I'm an African in Africa and I'm laughing my ass off. Africa is its "own place" lol.
This is real.... I asked my 22 year old nephew some of these exact questions and he didn't exactly impress me.
The problem isn't just poor schooling. It's just as much that kids don't care to learn, they're not interested in knowledge because they think they can just Google anything later so there's no need for them to actually learn stuff for themselves. Also they're too obsessed with tik tok and social media to pay attention. And their teachers have made passing classes too easy and schools make failing penalty free so there's no incentive to try even if they aren't interested.
AGREED!!! The problem isn't the school, it is the kids, and their fucking phones and social media because that is what they are glued onto 24/7, and don't care to learn.
@@LilJollyJoker it’s not the phone’s fault, it’s how they use it. If i killed someone with a hammer you wouldn’t blame the hammer would you? You can learn so much from the internet
As a german i was not interested in learning stuff either, when i was in school. The difference is, i knew even as 6 year old child that i live in europe. Sure i haven't learened of US States - but why would i?
On a serious note though, don't blame it on the media and phones. If you as parents don't even care about that it's your fault. My mother sat down with me a as child and learned German with me (we are immigrants), she taught me how to calculate. In the first class i was able to calculate (+ and -) up to 1000, in the second class i was able to multiply everything upto 10x10.
I am really shocked how your education system sucks. At this point i am pretty sure that the rest of the world is more educated than the average american. Hell, even North Korea is probably more educated about their sorroundings compared to americans. It's really a shame and y'all wanna be the greatest? The greatest failure of times maybe, that's it!
no its not, i use social media, sometimes tik tok and have grown up with the internet and i can answer all of those questions and have motivation to build knowledge.
@@iR0CKt Hearing just some stupid answers does not tell a lot about the average knowledge. How many people did he need to ask to find these brains? But generally I would agree that today´s graduates in most western countries do have a poorer level of education compared with previuous decades - this is kind of an affluent neglect.This is a pretty good chance for asian (and maybe in the future also african) countries to get economically stronger.

I get that you can find ignorant people anywhere given you ask enough people but its still crazy that its this easy. These poeple do not appear to have learning disabilities yet still struggle to identify where they live on a map and are in pain doing primary school math.
As a New Jersey resident. It's embarrassing that this is taking place in NJ.
When my kids were young I'd tell them "As you go through life always keep in mind that 90% of people are stupid"
Now that they're adults the tell me "You were wrong dad, it's at least 95%"
And presently stupid people are running the country.
95% of first world countries are stupid, I can’t speak for the rest of the world
I have always told my kids people are stupid, study hard
The other way to look at it is the mean IQ by definition is 100. Therefore, 50% of the population's IQ is below 100.
@@jody6851 If the average is 100 (it's actually 98 for USA), that does not necessarily means 50% are below and 50% are above. For example in a population of 4 people, one can have 140, two have 90 and one have 80 and the mean would be 100, but only 25% are above. Think about how rare you have genius level people, and how often you see really, really dumb people. The saddest thing is that even 100 IQ is really not very smart at all. Although IQ isn't everything that determines intelligence it has high correlation with success. Most low IQ people always find something to blame (white people or men usually) for their lack of success while the higher IQs look for ways to improve their own life by themselves, without blaming others for their mistakes.
This is so embarrassing. These youngters don't know history, geography or basic math and they have no desire to know. This is painful to watch and we should all be worried.
