À propos de cet audio
Do teachers have a front-row seat to America’s decline?
Jeremy S. Adams, a teacher at both the high school and college levels, thinks so.
Adams has spent decades trying to instill wisdom, ambition, and a love of learning in his students. And yet, as he notes, when teachers get together, they often share an arresting conclusion: Something has gone terribly wrong. Something essential is missing in our young people.
Their curiosity seems stunted, their reason undeveloped, their values uninformed, their knowledge lacking, and, most worrying of all, their humanity diminished.
Digital hermits of a sort unfamiliar to an older generation, they have little interest in marriage and family. They largely dismiss - and are shockingly ignorant of - religion. They sneer at patriotism, sympathize with riots and vandalism, and regard American society and civilization as so radically flawed that it must be dismantled. Often friendless and depressed, they eat alone, study alone, and even “socialize” alone.
Educators like Adams see a generation slipping away. The problems that have hollowed out our young people have been festering for years. A year of COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing have magnified them. The result could be a generation - and our nation’s future - lost in a miasma of alienation and stupefaction.
In his stunning new book, Hollowed Out, Jeremy S. Adams reveals why students have rejected the wisdom, culture, and institutions of Western civilization - and what we can do to win them back. Poignant, frightening, and yet inspiring, this is a book for every parent, teacher, and patriot concerned for our young people and our country.

"Students don't share MY values, we are doomed!"
The author brings up excellent points about disconnection, and the societal issues we face, but explores these issues on the premise that none American values are to blame. Not wanting a marriage of a family is apparently a huge issue? It very much comes across as the herald of a dying ethos lamenting over the fact that the youth have different values now. Extremely valid points are brought forward about the need for change in the way people find meaning in life, and connect with one another, but these points are wrapped up in a very bias boomer mindset.
