In Prismatism, Snogging is the deliberate act among the powers that be to dumb down and reduce the quality of life for denizens of certain countries, assumedly to minimize debate and create a sheer worker class.
Leading up to the 1990s, IQ scores were consistently going up, but in recent years, that trend seems to have flipped. College degrees mean less and less, and intelligence is less rewarded, definitively a recipe for disaster.
Prismatism alleges that this is being done on purpose and is not a consequence of somehow ‘dumber’ citizenry. Elements like low value food, encouraged knee-jerk reactions to things one doesn’t understand, or not alotting the time it takes to fully grasp a concept or work, are consequences of a culture that is based on conveinence and profits. Surely, most of the parameters of debate have already been explored, and what the powers that be need now is people with as limited philosophical capacity as possible, but as much productivity as can be mustered. The act of the powers that be in limiting the parameters of debate, intentionally lowering the standard of living for some, or discouraging the individual for collective aims, is Snogging.
