I was convinced about 20 years ago that at least 30% of humanity would struggle to pass a basic sentience test.

    And it gets worse as they get older.

    I have friends and relatives that used to be people. They used to have thoughts and feelings. They had convictions and reasons for those convictions.

    Now, I have conversations with some of these people I've known for 20 and 30 years and they seem exasperated at the idea of even trying to think about something.

    It's not just complex topics, either. You can ask him what they saw on a recent trip, what they are reading, or how they feel about some show and they look at you like the hospital intake lady from Idiocracy.
