I'd like to offer a point for discussion. Why is that that so many people reflexively laugh when faced with a question to which they do not know the answer?

Diffusing tension or feelings of guilt? Although I think many non whites aren't ashamed or guilty at all that they have no base knowledge. Maybe they are just laughing that someone would ask them such a stupid question. From their perspective the only important inquiries are about trends and about themselves.

In general when I watch 'man on the street' styled videos I take them with a huge grain of salt. Sure I know the populace is REALLY dumb but it's easy to go around interviewing people and then at the end of the day just cut out the people that knew the answers.

We are fast approaching a point that dissident whites of good character are going to be in a similar situation that Jews found themselves in the past. In the near future there isn't going to be a large enough normie white populace to live within. The standards of that dwindling group are going to keep swinging to the worthless international pleb they all want us to be. Those new standards will be true deal breakers. We will not live as cattle. We are surrounded by so many dumbed down people that they pose a very real threat. This is going to leave us with only a narrow band of options.

Yeah, I did notice that they seemed much more literate on trivial modern nonsense like TV show characters and celebrity figures. This comes out in his videos, since all sorts of questions about characters in modern films or TV shows, most of which I myself couldn't answer, end up being successfully answered. One man actually gets four such questions in a row correct.

One thing that was on my mind is whether or not people are actually absorbing the same (or a higher) amount of information than in the past, but that what is being absorbed is simply the banal sports, entertainment, etc. that they're being bombarded with, leaving no room for anything more important. In which case, simply removing all of this crap would force them to refocus their attention to more meaningful things, just as Man in the past did not have these interests competing with these more meaningful things. Hence why, for instance, Man seemed far more literate in times of yore, whereas any sufficiently old book—which many men could read just fine back then—seems unintelligible to many today: their vocabulary is just that dumbed down. Alternatively, perhaps they simply are objectively learning less as well, and thus depriving them of this nonsense would not make as significant an impact.

I imagine that a hypothetical regenerative ethnostate would be deprived of most of these things. It is something for its future policymakers, psychologists, &c., to investigate.

Indeed. While we don't know how many correct responses he omits (he does share correct responses on occasion, and thus cannot be omitting all of them), there is a shred of possibility, of course, that the overwhelming number of people get them right. But if we're dealing with probability rather than possibility, I suspect that in all probability they probably are just ignorant on issues that matter, even if not quite to the extent as portrayed. After all, the content creator is clearly aiming to entertain here, even if the information he gathers does seem like material that a more serious researcher could work with insofar as these people really exist.

Spot on with the last paragraph, upon which I can't really add anything. We can see in these videos that quite a few Whites are just as clueless as the countless nonwhites that honestly look like the overwhelming majority of NYC's population, and there's not much hope that many of them will even reproduce, let alone within the race. Most, I think, are pretty much at the end of their bloodlines.

Noam Chomsky once said that he believes the north american populace isn't really that dumb at all. His evidence: the sheer volume of sports knowledge that many men carry around in their head all day.
