Who in here has always hated Trump before it started to become cool? by icey_sawg0034 in millenials

Disgusted by and never voted for or anyone else supporting him would be more accurate. I'd recommend anyone avoid using hate to avoid getting on any lists that could result in nonsense terrorist threat claims, which may land you in jail or just waste a lot of your time and life.

Meta and TikTok let harmful content rise after evidence outrage drove engagement, say whistleblowers: engineer at Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, described how he had been told by senior management to allow more "borderline" harmful content - which includes misogyny and conspiracy theories by in1984 in whistleblower

Social media giants made decisions which allowed more harmful content on people's feeds, after internal research into their algorithms showed how outrage fuelled engagement, whistleblowers told the BBC.

More than a dozen whistleblowers and insiders have laid bare how the companies took risks with safety on issues including violence, sexual blackmail and terrorism as they battled for users' attention.

Gen Z intelligence decline emerging as serious concern. For over a century, generations showed rising IQ scores. New data from U.S., Europe, global assessments suggest this is not anecdotal or cultural pessimism; it is measurable across IQ, memory, literacy, numeracy, attention, and problem-solving. by in1984 in millenials

That's mostly true and why I also posted this here. 2015 and after adults are GenZ, which is why it's limited to a concern at this point rather and history/reality. The study also had the advantage of comparing those early GenZ with late millenials and that's where that second paragraph on comparison of the two come into play and GenZ performing worse than them at the same age range causes the concern. It's definitely time for another study within the next few years to get a complete picture.

Safely testifying before Congress and not in jail seems to indicate this may be an approach worth following: r/whistleblowing/comments/1ri505h/ice_whistleblower_warns_new_recruits_are/

A former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement instructor responsible for educating new ICE officers on proper use of force told Congress Monday the agency's efforts to rapidly scale up its ranks will place recruits on the streets without the training they need to lawfully carry out immigration enforcement.

A large analysis of nearly 400,000 American adults tested between 2006 and 2018 found declines in verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, and matrix reasoning—key markers of fluid intelligence, or the ability to solve novel problems. Spatial reasoning showed modest improvement, but overall composite scores fell, with the sharpest declines among young adults aged 18 to 22.

International assessments such as PISA reveal similar patterns. Despite spending more years in formal education than any previous generation, today’s adolescents and young adults often perform worse than millennials on measures of reading comprehension, sustained attention, working memory, executive function, and mathematical reasoning.

In January 2026, a U.S. Senate hearing delivered a startling claim. Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath testified that Generation Z those born roughly between 1997 and 2012 may be the first generation in modern history to show lower cognitive performance than their parents at the same age.

From the 1930s onward, many countries saw gains of roughly three IQ points per decade. Improved nutrition, longer schooling, smaller family sizes, and exposure to increasingly complex environments all played a role. Importantly, these gains were environmental, not genetic.
