Gen Z is just as smart and capable as any other generation.

The introduction of social media, with all the addiction, depression, anxiety, etc. associated with it has somehow managed to not affect peoples problem-solving skills? There are so many studies confirming how fucked the younger generations are regarding all kinds of mental health that it’s frankly absurd to believe those findings are completely independent of things like attention span and problem-solving skills.

Also:

• Article: Refers to an actual study.
• You: “This article is pointless speculation”.

So… when used at a population level rather than at an individual level, and used for comparison between generations from the same place… they’re a good metric?
