We all of course know that most of the loud and dumb voices on TikTok supporting Bin Laden would be the first immediately executed in the radical Islamist caliphate that he envisioned, assuming they are actually normal people and not foreign paid agents. But this is a group of people without basic education. Keep in mind a lot of the loudest voices here lost 1-2 years of schooling at an absolutely critical juncture in their education.

The US doesn’t value education any more, across the board politically. This is the result.

Don't disagree, but as a Baltimore resident, I can assure you that more school funding is not the solution.

The problem is that social media has given everyone the (mistaken) idea that their opinions are worthy of being shared.

I agree with this. But, I am not for censoring speech.

I think the whole concept of "influencers" is crazy. Most of these "influencers" could not hold a steady job and have opinions that are not worthy to influence others. I don't know what the solution is - other than parents talking sense into their easily "influenced" kids.
Tik Tok is garbage, but it is not the only place this kind of crap is promoted.

The youth that have bought into the idea that OBL was right are looking for something to support their beliefs. Likely the same people who find ways to justify the terrorists on 10/7. They don't believe the US is great and have bought into all the nonsense taught to them by Marxists and others who hate the US.
Our education system has totally failed these kids. I also think parents need to pay close attention to what kids are actually learning at school.

I may not remember what I did yesterday but I remember every single thing about the day of 9/11, every.single.thing. This is the problem with getting your information from social media, typically it has no context, no history to educate you fully. Just soundbites to get more clicks.

Same, but we were there. The young adults of today were not, or were babies.

just like the young adluts today have no real touch to the Holocaust and as such don't understand why Israel is considered such a valued partner.

This is why education and history (cough for all of the STEM adherants who say humanities have no place in colleges cough) is so important.

There's something more to it. Is the Holocaust not taught as extensively as it was in the past? Even Gen-Xers, Millenials, born in the 70s to 80s are very familiar with Holocaust despite having no direct connection to it and being more distant from it than current Gen Y/Z are from 9/11, but when I grew up, there was extensive teaching of the Holocaust in a way that it haunted me.

The Holocaust part is just because there are so few survivors left. It's not limited to the Holocaust it's also WW2 and the Depression while WW1 has completely been forgotten about. Gen X and early millennials remember because of their grandparents. Once something gets 3-4 generations removed it stops seeming relatable.

But that's my point - I grew up in the 80s, teenager in the 90s. I didn't know any survivors, it was already 3-4 generations before my time. These kids are only 20 years out from 9/11. It doesn't explain it.

Sorry, should say, my grandparents didn't know this, nobody in my family talked about it. School was the only source of learning on the topic. Required reading of Weisel's Night, watching of Schindler's List, plenty more (just listing two of the things that had a lasting impression), the shock of learning 6 million people were murdered.

The problem is that social media has given everyone the (mistaken) idea that their opinions are worthy of being shared.

Which goes to a lack of solid education. If you’ve been rigorously taught, you also learn context.

And you also learn to think twice about how your news feed and social media feeds are populated, which videos are prioritized to be shown to you.

You didn’t lose two years of education during the time frame this sort of content would be taught in detail.

I only want these back if they are taught with rigor, which isn’t happening any more.

Strongly disagree. We need freely shared ideas and more critical thinking

I am OP and I used to think that. I've actually really come away thinking there is simply too much speech now. Not enough gatekeepers.

This is a group of people who lost years of education at a crucial juncture. The loss is going to be a serious problem for the rest of their lives.

I agree with you, except that so many humanities classes at the moment have abandoned critical thinking in favor of identity Marxism and Queen Theory. Our society is now paying the price.
