The Power & The Beauty Of Words

Matt Walsh, in just under 14 minutes on this 3/3/2023 podcast segment, powerfully and articulately presented today's derth in ability for the current generation (Gen Z) to express itself in any semblance of coherence.  He dissected and analysed with sharp observation, the tragic loss of the English language in everyday life in a downhill tragectory going back decades and even further when compared with what - as evidenced in two examples he reads from - even simple folk with little education back in the 19th century were capable of without the least notion of publication, in private letters from the battlefield to their families.  The "what happened", on which he poignantly and effectively elaborates, fills the main portion - with two live examples - of his pointed delivery:

 I cannot recommend watching it highly enough, so be my guest.

  

As a bonus, I'll throw the following in, as it so fittingly applies to the two young women - actually to three of them - observed in the two live clips he gives.  The tragic acceleration of that downward tragectory may be attributed to the loss of reading skills and the ability to absorb from that and expand: a wealth of vocabulary, nuance, context, and a stable IQ - with much thanks to the ideological infantilisation and feeding of narcissism in the aforementioned generation of today:
