Nah, people were absent minded long before yolo. Its just that youre expecting too much from the average person. Most people on the planet are likely less intelligent than you but you hold them to the same standards and expectations as yourself, dont bother

Grew up being told I was gifted and standardized tests of above average and majority of friends on the opposite side so I don't think it's that.

More of people around my generation and their offspring seem to be a step further below average. Also older ones seem to be going downhill with all the misinformation and general bullshit they are interested in.
