Not trying to be critical, but I have noticed something on this forum.
A lot of people here simply do not know how to write, punctuate, or use proper words in the context of a sentence. Demonstrable proof that they are just not that smart.
Coupled with the fact that they seem to enjoy insulting and calling one names. Which is also demonstrable of immaturity.
I come from a generation that calls like it is. No sugar coating. If it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, then it is a duck. Simple logic and reasoning, which is in short supply on this forum.
That said, just how in the hell did we get here?
Intentional, structured dumbing down. Proof is there and I will share it with the reader.
Charlotte Iserbyt was Reagans' Senior Education Advisor. She knows a lot about the subject.
She wrote the book, "Deliberate Dumbing Down of America", and "Soviets In The Classroom".

John Taylor Gatto was a 30 year educator from the state of New York. He wrote the book, "Dumbing Us Down".
If this is not enough information, then there is Yuri Bezmenov. A KGB defector in the 70's.
He gave a chilling interview in 1984, of all years. Ironic.
His full interview can be found in the Youtube video, linked below.

Why did I post all of this?
Because stupider is not a word in the English language, but dumber is.
Get butt hurt by this post? Not my problem and none of my business.
Enjoy!
Nobody has time to be all perfect commenting on here or anywhere. It's not school, we aren't being graded- well maybe by you, but really there are more important things in life than being concerned about how someone perceives you by your writing or communication skills on an online discussion board
Critical of the post, yet ignoring the information contained in the post. That's called deflection.
Think what you will. Your choice
Read any of the links before your criticism? Look into any of them? Chance are, no. Because two of links are actual books. Trolling much?
I'm not a troll, thank you very much. You're offended because I didn't favor your post. Have a good night
