Here is a possible summary:
The text is a transcript of a video that talks about five current lies that people have been told. The lies are:
- People do not change their ideologies, even when faced with contradictory evidence.
- Sexual assaults are increasing, when in fact they are decreasing.
- Millennials are the worst generation, when in fact they are just different from previous ones.
- Sign language is universal, when in fact it has many variations depending on the country and region.
- There are not more women in STEM jobs because of discrimination, when in fact it is because of their own interest and choice.
The video tries to explain the reasons behind these lies and how they affect people's perception of reality. It also criticizes the idea of forced equality and the use of statistics to measure society.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. A study called "information avoid" found that people choose their own reality based on what they agree with and avoid information that challenges their beliefs.
2. The number of sexual assaults has decreased in many countries compared to 15 or 20 years ago, but the media coverage of the cases creates a perception that there are more.
3. Millennials are not the worst generation, but they have different perspectives and experiences than previous generations due to the rapid technological changes they witnessed.
4. Sign language is not universal, but varies by country and region, and sometimes even by city. There is a universal sign language, but most people do not bother to learn it.
5. The percentage of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) jobs is lower in countries with more gender equality, because women have more freedom and choices to pursue other careers.
