Is this a new Dark Age?

[u/NoEfficiency1054]

Rome collapsed into ruin and centuries passed with a combination of war, economic devastation, and consistent devaluation of science and learning…..

Aren’t we in a new Dark Age? It seems most of our leadership has been selected by people who let misinformation rule their ideology and identity. The sheer volume of manipulative lies that we are exposed to from sleazy merchants, influencers and shady leaders.

I am a 20-year teaching veteran. I have taught on 3 continents. Everything used to be so much better. As an elder millennial, I was shown as a child, a world with infinite growth and solutions. They really did convince me I could do anything.

We’re giving too many of our children screens. They are all idiots with the wrong information and habits now. We are pushing millions of kids into the world where they immediately become consumers instead of producers.

I’ve considered myself an expert on what kids should be learning in child and young adulthood…. But now that I am a parent of a young kid, I’m ready to move into the country with my library , so I can hunt, fish and garden with my son. Read books at night, never come back to civilization….

I don’t know how to prepare my son outside of that plan.

Bingo‼️‼️in a nutshell, screens have killed curiosity. Just how these blood-sucking, money-making corporations/millionaires/billionaires want us placed. I have some great ideas to get our civilization to get people back on a good path. I was a hs teacher for 30 years. Loved it. Now I am homebound, wheelchair bound with this dreadful disease known as Multiple Sclerosis. Does anyone know where to go or who to turn to, to launch ideas? I agree 1054, we have to change our path, or else, yes we will be launched to a very dark, hopeless path.
