>>11730370Calm down, this is just the next step on the road towards a civilization of GigaAutist Technomancers, everything is going according to plan.
Having toddlers and children constantly interact with screened technologies helps reprogramming their brains for the hyperspecialized work of the coming decades.
Zoomers were the test run for this - the older generations assume that they are literally retarded because they lack any common sense or common knowledge (as previously defined) and can't identify more than two countries on the world map when in fact these capabilities were discarded intentionally in favor of maximizing their compatibility with fast digital technology. Smart zoomers write digital code (build new digital infrastructure) and the population majority of not-so-smart zoomers write natural language code (content to fill the digital infrastructure) - smart zoom write app, dumb zoom write clickbait. And they set in place the digital landscape that will mold the next generation. This process will continue indefinitely until we run out of oil, reduce the world population drastically, or find an alternative energy source (which we haven't, renewables are just Re-packaged oil energy).
In the next 3 to 5 decades 99% of jobs that require some level of common sense and are non-compatible with autistic traits will eventually either be outsourced to algorithms and drones or performed by exceptionally few people with their aid (farmers, for instance).
Autism is neither a pathology nor a buzzword. It's the future of the human condition, and there's nothing you can do about it.
