People Are Stupid: The Loss Of Common Sense In Modern Society

Have you ever watched someone do something so spectacularly dumb that it made your soul sigh? You're not alone.From social media influencers risking their lives for likes to drivers who think turn signals are optional, from DIY disasters that require professional rescue to government red tape that defies all logic-stupidity is everywhere, and it's getting worse.Written by a fed-up Gen Xer who grew up in the last era of "figure it out yourself" parenting, this brutally honest and hilariously observant book chronicles the daily assault on common sense in modern society. Through twelve eye-opening chapters, you'll encounter: - Social media challenges that land people in emergency rooms- Drivers who treat lanes like suggestions and parking lots like battle zones- Parents who helicopter their children into helplessness- Fitness fanatics who turn health into a competitive delusion- Workplace meetings that could have been emails (but weren't)- Government policies that punish common sense- And much, much moreThis isn't just a collection of "stupid people" stories-it's a wake-up call about how we've abandoned the basic life skills that previous generations took for granted. With sharp wit and no-holds-barred observations, the author explores how we got here and why it matters.Perfect for anyone who's ever muttered "What is wrong with people?" under their breath while navigating the modern world.Whether you're looking for validation that you're not crazy, ammunition for your own observations about human nature, or just a good laugh at the expense of everyday absurdity, this book delivers.Warning: May cause uncontrollable head-shaking, spontaneous eye-rolling, and the sudden urge to buy copies for everyone you know."If you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all"-but sometimes, someone needs to say what we're all thinking.
