More (not so) fun facts:
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.
21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.
High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.
That's not really a good scenario for a modern democracy to find itself in for reasons that are unfortunately already very clear
Don't worry chatgpt will fix this, they'll explain all the hard concepts for us dummies with only a bit of advertising and corporate propaganda injected.
I think one way we see this play out frequently is watching people debate issues unproductively with obviously zero theory of mind for their opposition due to one or both parties involved having poor communication skills.
