I find myself wondering how these figures have changed over time. Did we actually get worse, or have we always been this fucking ignorant?

I would estimate we are 25 percent worse.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
