you've used the word taught, which implies reasoning. which is by definition not intuitive. reading was never innate to you or anyone else.

A lot of people are commenting about how, so what, lots of people can read and are also stupid. Except this isn't about being stupid. Or dumb. Reading and writing is a skill you gotta be tutored into. You won't learn it through intuition. You won't learn it through osmosis, guesswork or because the Holy Ghost descended from the heavens to enlighten your soul. You have to be taught, step by step, how to decode writing in order to then develop it into other skills, like different levels of reading, making annotations, making summaries, prose writing, and so on. All of these things should ideally become second nature to you through a long process of 'scholarization', one that is formulated with full understanding of what kids of different ages tend to need, and what kids in particular may require of their teachers.

Think about it. This isn't like zoomers being unable to use Windows because they have phones. It's like not having a school system in the first place. Good god, the districts that keep this scam pedagogy in place are gonna create a lost generation.

just ask 'what if two corporations own everything'

 

Since I was like 12 I was blessed with the genetics of an 80 yo. Having muscle spasms, hernias, and all sorts of bizarre crap. The two times in my life I got into a workout regime things would get progressively better until months down the line, when I'd have to do surgery of some kind, likely because I 'worked out too much'. Doctors tell me to start lifting weights, but they don't seem to believe me and simply tell me I'm a male and young and shouldn't be as frail as I am. No tests in 20+ years have shown anything out of the ordinary, except for whatever problem I developed all of a sudden, so it's no wonder. I'm afraid that trainers in a gym wouldn't be any better. Got no idea where to start. Pool workouts with the elderly maybe?
