Is the Greatest Generation Also the Dumbest? A New Study Says Yes.....

Near Harvard - A new study near Harvard is raising questions about the intelligence of the generation of Americans many hold up as "the greatest", specifically those born between 1901 and 1927.

"We asked almost 10,000 adults over the age of 90 a few simple questions just to gauge baseline intelligence," Lead researcher Wildnerness Arbuckle Jones explained. "You know, simple stuff, like what is an NFT, how does the blockchain work, how is gender defined, and what year Old Town Road became a hit for Lil Nas X."

Despite living through the Great Depression, fighting in World War II, and serving as a driving force of American culture for decades, the results of even the initial tests of their overall intelligence were shockingly poor. According to Jones, most of the subjects were unable to even name a popular K-pop idol or group, let alone recite the lyrics to their favorite BTS song. "It was embarrassing. They don't appear to know an e-girl from a VSCO girl and were easily confused by questions that required knowing the difference between Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion."
