Keith's "Dumb Generation"

Keith,

I have been thinking for days about your feeling that the next generations are getting dumber (in addition to possibly growing both sex organs). Do you think that, in our collective craving for immediacy, that we are destroying our ability to contemplate? It's not stupidity as much as it is the loss of the ability to think. Because, in some ways, our next generation is faster and smarter than we are. They just don't seem to be able to slow down long enough to reach their "inner oasis."
