I wonder why she was so excited to get them on meds?

She wants her free time. She can't handle them, and wants to be able to spend time on her phone too. Her words. I don't think the kids are out of control at all.

I do think there will be outliers and "greats" in the next few generations who slip through this mass of dumbed and zombified followers, as in all generations.

But, what will be needed to be great? An outlier will depend on the masses too - they might not need be that far out to seem great.
