"So much of Gen Z culture is a product of this filth (which is why even the "leftists" are Westernized)."
You are not being logical. From your link:
After nine minutes, the children did four tests to tap their "executive function" — such as attention, problem-solving and delay of gratification — which allows people to set goals and implement them. Executive function is important for helping children to learn and function in school and be creative, the researchers said.
"Just nine minutes of viewing a fast-paced television cartoon had immediate negative effects on four-year-olds’ executive function," Angeline Lillard and Jennifer Peterson of the psychology department at the University of Virginia concluded in Monday's issue of the journal Pediatrics.
"Parents should be aware that fast-paced television shows could at least temporarily impair young children’s executive function."
High executive function is a Western educational objective. A show that reduces executive function is therefore de-Westernizing, not Westernizing. This is why it is Western medics who are complaining about it!
I myself am not a fan of Spongebob, but I would not discourage children who like it from watching it. If Spongebob leads to less machinism, we should avoid attacking it at least until machinism has ceased to be a threat.
Why not attack Western classical music instead?
The Mozart effect is the theory that listening to the music of Mozart may temporarily boost scores on one portion of an IQ test. Popular science versions of the theory make the claim that "listening to Mozart makes you smarter" or that early childhood exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental development.[1]
I was a victim of this as a child. (I'm guessing you weren't.)
Zell Miller, governor of Georgia, announced that his proposed state budget would include $105,000 a year to provide every child born in Georgia with a tape or CD of classical music. Miller stated "No one questions that listening to music at a very early age affects the spatial-temporal reasoning that underlies math and engineering and even chess." Miller played legislators some of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on a tape recorder and asked "Now, don't you feel smarter already?" Miller asked Yoel Levi, music director of the Atlanta Symphony, to compile a collection of classical pieces that should be included.
Why do you think there is no equivalent of the above but with Spongebob? Answer: because Western classical music aligns with Western educational goals, whereas Spongebob does not. So which is the Westernizing filth?
