I technically meant that in regards to not seeing the research lately, but... lol

I thought it was hilarious, can't lie. But I don't think gen Z (or alpha, or beta, or whatever gen is the currently self-aware one) are unintelligent, I just think they have shit influence. Parents need to stay extra vigilant in this age.

Real talk the main driver of advances are usually healthier environments, better nutrition and access to knowledge (e g. Via tech). I don't think Z or alphas are getting better in those regards, kind of inheriting the opposite.
