I Read it. Just seems like bad parenting and school adaptation. nothing to do with natural selection. Besides They used to say the same about kids in 90s like "they have bad memory" but almost every kids could name all 150 Pokémon just not every element. Not because they couldn't they just dont care. They metric is always seemed skewed to me..

You just linked to an article which says one guy told another newspaper genz is dumb. Then you go to the other newspaper and they link the piece of research which he presented not to a peer reviewed journal but rather to the Senate. The whole piece of research consists of 7 pages.

I'm sorry man, I was underestimating how much smarter is genz than previous generations...
