CmdrShep2154 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I was just a young idealistic college student back then and most students I knew as well as wider society seemed more interested in reality shows, materialism, and partying. Society also lost interest in sci fi and space. https://gizmodo.com/why-we-need-more-space-adventures-5837047 https://ricochet.com/226027/archives/the-death-of-the-space-opera/ I look back and find it appalling how vapid it was. Why did society felt they had to choose between popularity and intelligence? Why did society stopped being encouraged to push themselves intellectually? Why not be athletic, fun loving, and smart? Like those astronauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanBreeze Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 As mobile phones became smarter, the people using them became dumber. Why spend time to learn or even think about anything when it can be looked up in seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
