Just as the title asks I've noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they're reading.

They'll read it and despite all the information being there, if it's even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it's complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it's making me lose my fucking mind.

Dudes are out here straight up recommending the Brave New World Gamma experience.

Soma? Or has it been too long since I read the book?

Yeh it was soma.

I'm not necessarily recommending it (I'm sure different people will have completely different outcomes, and it's a trade-off), I'm just saying it's what I've done. I agree it's a pretty dark choice to be motivated to make though.

I certainly think it says more about the society than the individual.
