I wasted some time trying to chat with these idiot’s on another social network and was shocked to discover the vast majority of them are functionally illiterate. Critical thinking ain’t gonna happen.
Yeah, you’re talking about people, many of whom can only read on a fourth grade level and it’s not possible to cram all the nuance of Government and Economics into a ten second TikTok video.
Average Adult US reading level is between a 5th and 6th grader.
At least 15% are at 2nd grade or below, ie, functionally illiterate.
Only around 5% to 10% can read at a level where they can perform their own critical analysis of different news sources covering the same topic, evaluate for bias, emphasized details, left out context, etc.
