I really can't understand how anyone can spend 12+ years in a classroom and still know nothing. It must be almost impossible to not learn something- even passively- over all that time. It would probably take more effort to block it out.
@@uutthyu4636 True, young kids are curious about everything. It's the one size fits all attitude I think that is a big problem. There are many ways to learn things, we're all different. School teaches you that the one particular way they've chosen to teach a particular thing is the RIGHT and ONLY way. No wonder people lose interest and switch off. Richard Feynman was great on this subject. A favourite example of his was when his cousin was struggling with algebra. Richard looked at the problem and gave his cousin the answer straight away. his cousin said "Yeah but you're not allowed to do it with math, you have to do it with algebra!" Says it all. He understood it, but the method he was shown confused him. I'm convinced that the stereotypical problem with learning what offside means in soccer is not because it's a difficult concept in itself, it's because it's a stupid bloody name to give it which confuses people from the get go. These things can be avoided if you think about it first.
I saw this starting to happen over 25 years ago. I grew up with only 3 TV channels and listening to BBC talk radio. So absorbed basic general knowledge without even trying. I worked in a large office with a lot of people in their 20s and 30s when I was in my 40s. The general level of ignorance in a lot of them was astonishing to me. There is so much dumbed down entertainment available today, it is just too easy to avoid seeing anything that is "educational".
Hey mate I grew up with one TV channel, and on the wireless the Light Program, the Home Service, the Third Program and the Music Program and if the atmospherics where right Radio Luxembourg., so you were lucky. But having said that I cannot agree more with your sentiments. You are absolutely right.🇦🇺
I was brought up with books. No radio, TV didn't exist. Only the rich, doctors etc. had telephones. Listened to music on a gramaphone which you wound up by hand.
Even worse when that level of ignorance starts to leak into the teaching profession. Not just as the lateral transmission of ignorance, but indoctrination.
It's bewildering as someone from the UK how we know more about America than these people here. Our education system include compulsory subjects of history and geography from the age of 12, including languages. There's shame in saying( I don't know) worse are people who insist their wrong answer is correct....I have always supported your channel, for your honesty and enthusiasm to learn. God bless buddy, great video
Conner; this is why channels like your own are so valuable and so needed. I've said this until it's given me earache! If you are familiar with the George Pal version of HG Wells' Time Machine (1960) the younger generation are turning into the Eloi of that film. I suggest you check out 'The Time Machine (1960) Meet The Eloi / Books Crumble To Dust'. You're sure to get what I'm on about. As an owner of a massive personal library which I've enjoyed for over sixty years, this scene always gets to me. I texted an old friend, recalling this scene, saying that the Eloi are arriving. He texted back, saying, "They're already bloody-well here!!" Sadly, I have to agree with him and they don't seem to care one jot!
@@dallassukerkin6878 The problem being is that if they dismiss the past and how we got here as irrelevant, then they are eventually going to breed forth exactly the same mistakes and outcomes in the future. Like stepping off a ladder into mid-air, it's one hell of an impact when they hit the ground.
The general lack of curiosity is not just an American phenomenon, I see it all the time in Britain... I regularly encounter people who have zero knowledge or interest in anything that happened before they were born and are only interested in science and technology if it has an immediate, direct benefit to them personally.
These are questions i ask to my grown up kids to make them think when they’re having a moment of mental stupidity. My grandson will not this badly educated!
OMG I'm 66 years of age left school at fifteen and I've never stopped learning I'm British and I'm cringing at the lack of any type of knowledge with the young people who are your next generation your country is f..ked ha ha xx 😂
Your reaction at the end - I feel your pain! It's not much better over here in some places. Frightening really! I agree people should pass some sort of basic test before being allowed to vote.
While we are on this topic, I'd also like to see some kind of basic IQ test before going abroad. If your IQ is smaller than your shoe size, you're not allowed on the plane.
@@soozb15Me being in my late 30's I have a friend who is 10 years younger and extremely intelligent. She is asexual and thinks that her having kids would be a bad idea. But the world needs her offspring and what she can teach them and not the kids of people in this generation who will accidentally create even idiot offspring.
i travelled across america for 2 years and what i noticed is a lot of americans dont really pay much attention to what's going on outside of america, bearing in mind that america is f*****g huge! some of their opinions on other countries and cultures was quite shocking to me
Oh my word ...to think most of them are voting age ... The world is going backwards ...these are just basic questions....as we say here in England ...I'm gobsmacked !!! 😮
This shit depresses me so much. I'm literally depressive because i'm scared of what the future surrounded by these people, who can vote, gather people, have influence, become teachers etc, would be. Like it's absolutely terrifying to me the sheer amount of absolutely clueless people, even about the most basic things. How do these people even function in their life ? How have they managed to stay alive in such a cruel world while being this stupid And the worst is that i'm not even smart
To be fair, I don't think she didn't know what a country was, but was struggling to think of one. I read her "What's a country? What's a country?" as her talking to herself, basically urging her memory to "Gimme a country, quick! Gimme a country, quick!" It's still pretty embarrassing, though.
I have a theory. American people are continuously told how great they are and what a great country the US is, they see no need to be curious about the rest of the world or even their own country. The video was quite hard to watch, the questions were easy, some even containing the answer. What made it worse was that many of the participants had no idea they were so lacking😮
The thing to bear in mind is that, altho' these walking empty skin-suits do have to take some accountability, the majority of this has been done to them on purpose. As I say, some of it is down to them not even trying to exercise curiosity and learn about the world they live in but they have been handed a comfortable life (I know they don't think so but they are wrong on that) where, up to their twenties, they have had to work for nothing and have had every obstacle smoothed down. All with the aim of keeping them dumb and unaware as their future is stolen from them.
I'm a South Asian and even I know the answers to the questions asked about the United States than these Americans. Also I'm pretty bad at Maths too, yet I was able to answer the Maths questions easily. I already knew Americans are bad at general knowledge, but I didn't know it was this bad!
The funniest part of this was that you just ended the video with no comment because you've been left speechless! I'm hoping that these people are just extreme cases, but i fear I'm wrong. It would be nice to know the ratio of those who could answer to those who couldn't. But, how could you not be able to answer the question, which two countries fought in the Mexican-American war? You don't have to know any history: the answer is literally in the question.
There is also, seemingly, a youth culture in the US where it is considered un cool to study and learn things. Compared to in Asia, where the kids that are good at a subject is considered impressive, in the west there is a lot of derogatory name calling and looking down on them. On the other hand, being good at sports is exaulted like the best thing ever, which, sure. It is amazing if you become good at something, no matter what it is, but why the differentiation between physical prowess and mental?
I'm 52 now, been a teacher in high school for many years. I live in Norway, this is not just a US problem. And the youth is our future...when I get really old and sick I tink I'm just going out into the forest...sit down and die. :)
As a European I find this utterly shocking that these Americans cannot answer simple questions like Canada and Mexico bordering the US, that your country has 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska, that 1776 July 4 was when you gained your independence or that 15 is 15% of 100 or the paper analog clock shows 1:50. Connor you had such a pained look in your face I wanted to reach out and give you a hug. Poor you having to bear with all these fauxes-pas.🥺
Regarding the moon question, I'm guessing they're getting that answer wrong for one of three reasons: 1) They never bothered to look at the sky and count how many moons there are. 2) They don't know which world is Earth. Thinking "is Earth the one with the big red spot, the red planet or the one with all the rings?" 3) They don't know what a moon is and think it's the stars in the night sky. You decide which of those 3 scenarios makes them dumber.
I have read the accounts of some ex-teachers who have suffered burn-out from teaching in the English speaking countries of: Canada, USA, and Australia. They are eerily similar in why they decided to leave, sick or not. I haven't seen any UK videos. Whistle blowers are not treated well here and harassed if they speak out. I can say from experience similar problems exist. These RUclips teachers are well worth listening to, and they may provide you with explanations for the problems in 1st world education systems as demonstrated in this video..

You've earned a new subscriber, though maybe on my YT Culture encounters account : ) Good job, you seem wise beyond your years. Best wishes🖐🏻
It can be quite bad here too Conner . I don't want to be mean either but I think your Young People get the top award for Hmm lack of Knowledge. I sometimes think they set up the worst for interviews but I had an experience in America myself when someone was interested where I came from but I Politely had to do a lot of explaining on Geography and other points for them to understand. They were nice but it was hard work😊
I tend to not be so nice, I like the term retard when explaining the stupidity of some people. Yes many people hate that term but for me it only means 1 thing, the dumbest of the dumb like people who drink smart water thinking that affects their IQ or people who think the earth is flat.
Connor you are my favourite reactor. I can't believe they're laughing at their own stupidity. I'm a teacher in the UK and I'm asking my 7 year olds some of these questions tomorrow. Obviously not the American ones.
My 11 year old grandson (who is from the UK) can answer these questions. The problem with the USA is their school system. If they only have to tick a box on multiple choice questions then they are likely to get some right by default. In the UK you have to learn a subject and answer questions on it or do an essay so that you understand what it is you are writing about. As somne comedian once said when Americans do stupid they excel at it.
What does the youth of today do all day? Tiktok and Instagram. I'm British and I could name 25-30 states without looking at a map. If you asked British teens who the Prime Minister is, 80% wouldn't have a clue.
I'm British and 25 years old, people like you said the same when I was in college, not always true, I can answer any question I've seen asked in these videos, it's basic information acquired through TV, books and school
Hi, I feel your pain. My daughter has just left home to go to a very good University in England. She is the prime example of Education doesn't equal Intelligence. Curiosity is a good thing LEARN.
OK pondered, he would have answerd most correctly at 5yr old, all at 10yr old, including the moon question which is not one! But hey in their defence, my son knows jack all about fashion, makeup or even who Kim Kardassian is! (to his eternal credit)
first question: there is no Queeen of England. She was the Queen of UK, commonwealth etc. but not England. England doesn't have a queen/king. But to be honest only few know that.
Yeah, that one really gets on my nerves, but it's so common for people everywhere, even relatively well-informed people will be lazy when it comes to that.
@McJibbin , I read a study recently which should alarm Americans , If i remember right it was written in 2021 and it was a study on Americans with IQ's under 80 of the adult population . The population in The US now is 333 million of which 260.8 million are adults . Of these adults 2.2% of them have mental learning difficulties and 6.7% of adults all have below 80 IQ score . This calculates to 23.2 million American voters who can't name the last 5 presidents but can name all the Kardashians . Another thing i found weird was only 22% of the American population are children around 74 million kids . Here in the UK the population of children is 62% of 67.7 million population 25 million adults & 42 million kids .
I have to say your reactions are the best. It's true reality TV has a lot to answer for. As well as the obvious programs things like love island and married at first sight are their education.. I'm sure we have our share of this type of person, l saw someone looking where to put gas in a Tesla. Great reaction from you from the UK just above Canada.
That last clip was probably the reason why Justin (the interviewer) stopped attempting to correct them after they gave a wrong answer. I wonder how many of them were so confidently incorrect that they started arguing with Justin like that girl did.
Critical Race Theory, identity studies. intersectionality etc and that 2+2=5 I'm afraid. A lot of Parents would like it to be the basic three Rs . The ability to think analyse and discuss and debate has gone no enquiring minds. Its not all of course just too many. I am very knowledgeable on History but who are you the Kardashians😅
You should like this: "Can You Name a Country?" - Jimmy Kimmel Live (3 years ago), and "Can You Name a Country?" Jimmy Kimmel Live (5 years ago) There's also this rejoicing one: "Can You Name a Book? ANY Book???" - Jimmy Kimmel (5 years ago), and "Can You Name a Book?" - Jimmy Kimmel Live (2 years ago) The decadence of our Great Civilization has well started!
Even the interviewer didn't know the answer to how many moons the earth has.. At one time it was believed to be 4.. But now accord to the prog Qi it has thousands of tiny moons
the only calculator in my school was a slide rule, a pencil and an ink well, quills were out fountain pens in, a pen knife was used for sharpening a quill, should of been called a quill knife , dont be surprised about the lack of intelligence, thats life now
Forgetting school ( which seems to be useless in the US ) even if Gen z has spent absolutely all their time laying on their bed on social media with the odd trip to McDonald's , surely they have picked up some information about the world

Dude! I feel your pain 🤣greetings from 🏴 you know, where the queen of England is from 😆 I am sure every country had these people!😊
I wish this bloke would say no and then give them the right answer
The way you reacted is funny. But you are soooooo right in what you say!!!!
There is nothing wrong with looking stupid ,
But there is something wrong with looking stupid confidently ,
Connor you are my favourite reactor. I can't believe they're laughing at their own stupidity. I'm a teacher in the UK and I'm asking my 7 year olds some of these questions tomorrow. Obviously not the American ones.
the only curiousities these people have are internet celebrities and the latest trends on social media lol,absolute shambles of a generation.
My 11 year old grandson (who is from the UK) can answer these questions. The problem with the USA is their school system. If they only have to tick a box on multiple choice questions then they are likely to get some right by default. In the UK you have to learn a subject and answer questions on it or do an essay so that you understand what it is you are writing about. As somne comedian once said when Americans do stupid they excel at it.
Love the channel man, hope you do some more Mr. Bean reactions. You haven’t gotten to his best skits yet!
The Idiocracy movie was a prophecy
This reminds me of the movie: Idiocracy.
Love your expressions, so funny!
I am sorry Connor but the look on your face during this video made me laugh
What does the youth of today do all day? Tiktok and Instagram. I'm British and I could name 25-30 states without looking at a map. If you asked British teens who the Prime Minister is, 80% wouldn't have a clue.
I'm British and 25 years old, people like you said the same when I was in college, not always true, I can answer any question I've seen asked in these videos, it's basic information acquired through TV, books and school
That first lady's ignorance is not that she doesn't know what a country is. It's that they don't actually LISTEN to the question....
The first gurl reminds me of a sitcom which used following text on a t-shirt: 'I wish these were brains'.
Wow. Just wow. Mr McJ why put yourself through this. It's tooooooo depresing!!
I think Ford Prefect said it said it best in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series. You’re going to die out, you know that lol
Hi, I feel your pain. My daughter has just left home to go to a very good University in England. She is the prime example of Education doesn't equal Intelligence. Curiosity is a good thing LEARN.
our genaraaton is verie smart
Give me a minute, I'm going to run through this again and assertain at what age my son would have answered all these questions correctly.......
OK pondered, he would have answerd most correctly at 5yr old, all at 10yr old, including the moon question which is not one! But hey in their defence, my son knows jack all about fashion, makeup or even who Kim Kardassian is! (to his eternal credit)
@@nigelleyland166 i suspect the person asking the questions believes it's one moon.
first question: there is no Queeen of England.
She was the Queen of UK, commonwealth etc. but not England. England doesn't have a queen/king.
But to be honest only few know that.
Yeah, that one really gets on my nerves, but it's so common for people everywhere, even relatively well-informed people will be lazy when it comes to that.
@@OneTrueScotsman Isn't there a tiny little soccerball club in Glasgow called Rankers? They support the Royals and doff their flat-caps
@@OneTrueScotsmanwhy you lying the SNP just lost to one of the worse parties ever....
AND she could have been born in one of the colonies. She wasn't, but she could have been.
I feel for you Connor......................
Why don't these people know? There needs to be a standardisation of the education system in the USA.
“You are dumb!!!” That came from the heart. 😂
@McJibbin , I read a study recently which should alarm Americans , If i remember right it was written in 2021 and it was a study on Americans with IQ's under 80 of the adult population . The population in The US now is 333 million of which 260.8 million are adults . Of these adults 2.2% of them have mental learning difficulties and 6.7% of adults all have below 80 IQ score . This calculates to 23.2 million American voters who can't name the last 5 presidents but can name all the Kardashians . Another thing i found weird was only 22% of the American population are children around 74 million kids . Here in the UK the population of children is 62% of 67.7 million population 25 million adults & 42 million kids .
I have to say your reactions are the best. It's true reality TV has a lot to answer for. As well as the obvious programs things like love island and married at first sight are their education.. I'm sure we have our share of this type of person, l saw someone looking where to put gas in a Tesla. Great reaction from you from the UK just above Canada.
Mate this hurts my head
Don't worry, we have these too.
Yeah, they are in Essex.
The problem is you can ask many older Americans and they wont know either
@@OneTrueScotsman you could except its nowhere near as widespread... Yet..
Getting there though
9.14 - She lives in a state of ignorance . 11.20 - " I want to say 50 but that's half ! - so ( my guess is ) 30% !!!! "
That last clip was probably the reason why Justin (the interviewer) stopped attempting to correct them after they gave a wrong answer. I wonder how many of them were so confidently incorrect that they started arguing with Justin like that girl did.
No wonder you stay in your room Connor. I wouldn't want to walk around or drive around anywhere in such an unaware place.🤣🤣🤣🤣
90% of this should be taught in school - wtf are teachers teaching???
Critical Race Theory, identity studies. intersectionality etc and that 2+2=5 I'm afraid. A lot of Parents would like it to be the basic three Rs . The ability to think analyse and discuss and debate has gone no enquiring minds. Its not all of course just too many. I am very knowledgeable on History but who are you the Kardashians😅
You should like this:
"Can You Name a Country?" - Jimmy Kimmel Live (3 years ago), and
"Can You Name a Country?" Jimmy Kimmel Live (5 years ago)
There's also this rejoicing one:
"Can You Name a Book? ANY Book???" - Jimmy Kimmel (5 years ago), and
"Can You Name a Book?" - Jimmy Kimmel Live (2 years ago)
The decadence of our Great Civilization has well started!
The pain on your face 😂
Even the interviewer didn't know the answer to how many moons the earth has.. At one time it was believed to be 4.. But now accord to the prog Qi it has thousands of tiny moons
The worst part of all this is the fact that the answer is IN most of the questions.
I feel your pain brother 😢
Jeez, that's a tough watch!
That chick was right in the 8th minute with that: Europe is above us. Ha!
That was pre-emptive sigh...
There's being stupid, then there's that.
If it wasn't for the fact I've seen many videos like this, I would have thought it was fake.
It's shocking.
1:30 the clock is at 1:50 or 10to2 😂 can’t believe you didn’t even get that
My condolences. It's obviously edited, but these people exist.
@McJibbin , Connor save yourself leave now , anywhere just get on a plane and don't look back LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It makes you think, what do US teachers actually get paid for😂😂😂
Babysitting
the only calculator in my school was a slide rule, a pencil and an ink well, quills were out fountain pens in, a pen knife was used for sharpening a quill, should of been called a quill knife , dont be surprised about the lack of intelligence, thats life now
Lets face it Connor, you didn't really have high hopes before you started......😂
I'm think how many years it would take to get these answers from British people e
I promise our spice heads are more clued up lol
Forgetting school ( which seems to be useless in the US ) even if Gen z has spent absolutely all their time laying on their bed on social media with the odd trip to McDonald's , surely they have picked up some information about the world
