Humanity is becoming dumber
Idiocracy (from "idiot" + Ancient Greek κράτος "power") is a 2006 American film


People's intelligence levels are declining.


Humanity is not only dying out, but is also rapidly becoming dumber right before our eyes, сообщает Banksta channel. This confirms the fact that human civilization is undergoing involution (simplification) and degradation.



Throughout the 20th century, humanity rapidly became smarter. For most of the century, IQ test scores rose steadily (by approximately 3 points per decade).

The phenomenon was named the Flynn effect, after researcher James Flynn. People began to eat better and generally live better. A revolution in medicine, education, and culture became accessible to the general population, not just the elite, as before.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, this growth reversed in a number of developed countries (Norway, Great Britain, Denmark, France, and the United States). Generations of young people began to show lower test scores than their parents did at the same age.

This is obviously due to the degradation and simplification of mass education, the influence of digitalization and social media. People are stuck in a virtual world, have stopped reading books, and are failing to develop analytical and critical thinking. Their thinking has become clip-based, and their concentration has plummeted.

Plus the extinction and degradation of the white race. It was precisely this small layer of highly intelligent white Caucasian men that drove human civilization, science, and technology. Without them, countries and systems will suffer predictable collapse.

Everywhere we see the "Americanization" of culture, its simplification, involution, and degradation. The Africanization, Arabization, and Islamization of the Old World (Europe), the Latin Americanization of the United States, and the Turkification and Islamization of Russia.

In general, as the great Soviet (Russian) thinker and historian Igor Vasilyevich Bestuzhev-Lada noted back in the 1990s and 2000s, the Global North will fall under the onslaught of the barbarians of the Global South, repeating the fate of Ancient Rome.

The physical, mental, and spiritual quality of people at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries began to decline noticeably. Healthy people are becoming fewer with each generation. The North, having welcomed barbarians from the South, is doomed to destruction. These are the laws of demography and natural selection.

The world has begun to rapidly degenerate. The "prince of this world"—degeneration—rules the roost.

Involution-simplification


A "new morality" has taken hold in the world. Under the guise of beautiful slogans, "involutionaries"—people with a "consumption-based" mentality—have seized power over the world. These are social parasites who profit from the misery, illness, and death of others.

The most striking example is today's Ukraine. The criminal elite, led by Mr. Zelensky, oligarchs, bankers, plutocrats, and other profiteers are thriving, while the population is rapidly dying out.

Previously, involution-simplification was local, regional in nature. Ancient Sumer, Babylon, the Hittite Empire, Egypt, and Rome perished. Civilizations and peoples perished. But these were exceptions. Nowadays, involution and degradation have become systemic and global.

The rise of humanity, which we remember as the era of Korolev and Gagarin, our Great Victory, first stalled, then slowly reversed. As we know, falling is easier.

There is rapture in battle
And on the edge of a dark abyss...

Everything, everything that threatens death,
For the mortal heart
Inexplicable pleasures...

(A.S. Pushkin. A Feast in Time of Plague).

The abyss draws you in.

Consumer society, where people are turned into consumers, slaves to their own desires, has rapidly degenerated into a society of extermination and self-destruction. A demographic catastrophe has begun.On the brink of a global demographic catastrophe). People began to quickly become dumber.

And worst of all, all these processes are controlled. The global "elite" is deliberately working to simplify humanity in order to preserve and increase their power and capital.

The main methods of globalists: 1) Mass, planet-wide drug and alcohol addiction, artificially instilled from a young age. Drugs are killing millions of people. Even more are degrading—physically, intellectually, and spiritually.

It is a weapon genocide, just like alcohol. Thus, during the Opium Wars of the 19th century, the British forced China to buy opium. China lived in a narcotic haze until the mid-20th century, enriching the capitalist West and local officials and merchants.

Great Native American tribes were destroyed with the help of alcohol and moonshine. In the movies, cowboys defeated the Indians; in reality, they were largely plied with alcohol. They were destroyed with diseases to which the natives had no immunity;

2) Pharmaceuticals, the near-religious inculcation of the idea that a "pill" will cure everything. Instead of prevention, mass physical exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, people have essentially been hooked on a new drug—constant medication. Antibiotics, sedatives, etc.

Medications, so poorly used, destroy the body's natural immunity, balance, and self-regulation. A person becomes a drug addict, who already exists only by taking increasingly stronger drugs. And tranquilizers and opioids destroy the brain.

Pharmaceutical corporations are getting rich. The more sick, the more profit. Vile, predatory capitalism;

3) the widespread introduction of artificial food, which undermines human health. It is also a weapon of genocide that destroys generations to come;

4) active propaganda of all kinds of perversions. Pederasty, lesbianism, same-sex "marriage," etc. "Perverts," through active agitation and propaganda, have effectively become the "elite."

They say it's fashionable, progressive, modern, liberal, and, most importantly, profitable. Besides, perverts don't have children, which contributes to a declining birth rate;

5) the widespread distribution of pornography, the sexual revolution. Virtual sex. This has also become one of the reasons for the suppression of the basic instinct "be fruitful and multiply." The destruction of the institution of family and marriage;

In this vein, the creation of a positive image of prostitution and escorts is underway. They claim they lead independent and luxurious lives. They are clients of the global elite. In reality, they are simply commodities;

6) the creation of artificial hotbeds of war like Libya and Syria, previously prosperous states in the Middle East, or the Ukrainian front, which was turned into a battlefield. historical Little Rus'-Russia. The formerly rich and prosperous Ukrainian SSR.

Conflicts that could be resolved in weeks or months are used for years and decades, destroying the passionate (spiritual-creative), demographic, military-economic potential of states and peoples. This is excellent an instrument for the destruction of people, young generations of reproductive age. An instrument for money laundering, theft of billions of budget funds, and enrichment. various kinds of ghoul-businessmen;

7) Simplification and destruction of the education and healthcare systems. Their commercialization. Schools and health centers, which are supposed to make people smarter and healthier, instead make them fools, slaves to the system. They're being finished off according to the principle of "less people, more oxygen."

8) Mass migration has become a powerful weapon of the globalists. Millions of "new barbarians" are literally drowning the developed countries of the Global North.

All these methods of extermination, like many others, are not accidents, not the "shortcomings and mistakes" of states and governments. All problems are entirely solvable and surmountable. As Kaganovich noted:

Each accident has a first name, last name and position.

For example, in certain areas, the Soviet Union, or today's China, pursued policies that were entirely focused on humankind and its development. This is precisely why Soviet civilization, the Soviet Union that had been dragging all of humanity toward the stars, the "beautiful faraway land," was destroyed.

This is a system aimed at simplification and degradation of man and humanity.

    The most striking example is today's Ukraine.

    And isn't Russia, since the 2000s, a shining example? After all, all the programs, all the reforms of secondary, vocational, and higher education, were launched during the reign of the reformers' guard, the builder of power verticals, the riser from his knees, and whoever else he was...

    The article doesn't say the main thing.
    We were hunter-gatherers, and we remain so. But along the long journey from the last "bottleneck"—approximately 75 years ago, when only a few thousand people survived—humanity has made a series of technological and scientific discoveries. These have led to a consistent increase in the security and comfort of life for each individual human being. So much so that, despite wars, the total population of the Earth today is already in the billions.
    Now let's compare the life of a person living, say, 10 years ago, with ours. Just imagine the number of skills those ancient humans must have possessed to feed themselves, survive, and reproduce. A vast array of skills! These skills they had to practice every single day in an environment that often directly threatened their lives. Hence the drive to observe nature, pursue technological inventions, and make scientific discoveries.
    Now look at us...
    Have you looked?

    I've read studies that say just a couple thousand years ago, the human brain was significantly larger than ours today—around 1400 grams. Now it's around 1000 grams. And for many, it's even smaller.
    And, indeed, why?
    I got up in the morning, turned on the light, the toilet was warm, there was a hot shower, there was food from the nearest store in the fridge, I turned on the gas, put the kettle on – should I continue?
    Now consider what a person had to do to enjoy the comfort of a hot drink in the morning—even just a thousand years ago. How many skills and abilities their brain had to develop from early childhood, and how much memory capacity it required.
    Everything we use was invented by our ANCESTORS. In our modern-day pursuits of gathering and hunting, we can only improve so much. And we've already reached a dead end. It's been announced that soon, in Russia, we'll be 3D printing our own meat. How many skills will we lose? We'll even forget how to raise cows.
    Why do we need to be massively smart, right?
    So they will replace us. Those whom we consider massively stupid.

      You echo the author, without really thinking about what all this is connected to... the question is not that we are getting dumber (because that is not the case), but how we measure it and why this is happening.
      The point is that every day, people need less and less of these skills. A trivial example: today, there's no need to multiply large numbers mentally (or even on paper); today, calculators are practically built into toilet paper, whereas just 50 years ago, they were rare. Has this made us dumber? From the perspective of the older generation, yes, essentially no. Our assessments are so pessimistic precisely because we take the skills of one generation and compare them with those of a younger generation. Is this correct? Given the technological leap, no. Another example: take the average person from the 1960s (or whenever the "geniuses" lived, according to the author) and compare them with the same average person from, say, the 12th century, based on the basic knowledge base of the 12th century. Would a "genius" be able to predict the weather and crop yields without any tools, cultivate the land, or understand someone's origins and occupation based on their appearance? And if the conversation turns to heraldry... wow... how "ignorant" they'll seem to us! But this is completely unnecessary information for someone from the mid-20th century. The same is true today. In the West, they've long understood that while a graduate of their school or university might not be able to boast a knowledge of geography or history (although, let's be honest, ours will only have a superficial grasp), they'll easily surpass them in practical data in advanced studies. They simply have more lab work. That's why up to 60% of all scientific discoveries and research come from the US and EU!

        At work, I observe that young people are losing their thinking skills. A typical example is a pair of physics graduates: one believed in the existence of laser swords, the other was searching for a theory of the mass effect. There's a virtually universal lack of critical thinking and a desire to construct things like LEGOs.
        This is why up to 60% of all scientific discoveries and research come from the USA and the EU!

        Moreover, stupefaction is a global trend.

        You are now mixing two different things.
        One thing is abstract intelligence. For example, the ability to read complex texts and analyze them. Or perform complex calculations. This can be learned, but it takes time, and the foundation is laid in childhood.
        Another thing is universal everyday skills. Surviving in the forest, building a house with your own hands. These can be learned. It's more a question of culture.
        One is unrelated. Look into the story of serial killer Gary Ridgway—US police spent 20 years searching for a moron and finally found him—but he was a moron with a good job and a perfectly successful life. And with an excellent memory. They spent 20 years looking for the wrong man.
        What's scary is the loss of both types of intelligence. Yes, modern people don't need to be able to work with their hands, navigate the forest, or fish. But that doesn't make modern people refined intellectuals. Often, quite the opposite.

          I'm simply pointing out a small inconsistency that leads to the question, "Who are the judges?" The point is that in the 12th-16th centuries, despite the population "crowding" (or rather, as is commonly believed today), people were able to lay the foundations of modern sciences. Yet, even today, even in our country, practices and methods exist that science has recognized as, at the very least, useless and false (for example, in medicine).

      There's a lot of exaggeration here. Ancient humans were probably more versatile than modern humans, but not so much as to be superhuman.
      Brain volume isn't as important as its structure. Neanderthals, for example, had even larger brains, but at the expense of the motor and visual cortex.
      The complexity of ancient human tasks is also exaggerated. On the one hand, boiling water is a non-trivial task. On the other hand, studies of various modern primitive peoples show that their labor costs for living are significantly lower than those of farmers. A hunter-gatherer doesn't toil for six months for a meager harvest; they spend a couple of hours a day on interesting activities and immediately receive nutritious food. That's why, for example, Americans had a hard time forcing Native Americans to do agricultural work—and ultimately, they drove the Indians onto reservations and brought in African Americans. Because the Red Indians didn't need such a blessing—digging in the ground.

    In Russia, the processes that have caused a severe demographic crisis and the decline of the state are not at all typical for other countries.
    These processes need to be considered individually, perhaps even separately from global ones in general, if these problems are to be solved.
    There were no countries in the world that survived the 90s.
    It is from that period that almost all of our current problems and vices that are corroding the country stem.
    Under Yeltsin, mass counterfeiting of food, alcohol, and medicines began. Even baby food and household chemicals were counterfeited.
    Soviet GOST standards for this were abolished, and the state completely withdrew from these areas, handing them over to anyone during privatization.
    Since then, practically nothing has changed.
    The average life expectancy for men has dropped to around 66 years - the lowest figure among developed countries!
    An abnormally high mortality rate among the working-age population, again, primarily men. Some died at work, some after coming home from work. Some were in their early 40s, others around 55.
    And each such case is someone’s husband, someone’s father.
    Occupational diseases are simply not detected - medicine (preventive, diagnostic) in most regions is destroyed.
    This also applies to women - they work in harmful, dangerous jobs in heavy industry.
    Often using long-outdated technologies for pennies.
    The average salary in the regions does not exceed 60 rubles—it is hardly possible to live decently on such an income these days.
    Alcohol (the consumption threshold is one of the highest in the world) is most often consumed as strong, surrogate, low-quality alcohol.

    It is difficult to find countries in the West (or in the East) with such severe vices as those that came to Russia from the 90s.
    Our consumer basket is approximately 4-5 times lower than in Canada, a country with a similar climate to ours.
    It’s bad, very bad, that the current authorities still don’t want to put an end to this vile Yeltsin legacy.

      It's good that there's someone you can blame everything on, even if it all happened much later. No, I'm not a Yeltsin supporter, God forbid. But he has enough of his own sins. Why pin someone else's on him?

Or, given the passage of time, you'll say it was Yeltsin who raised the retirement age.

      Actually, it's not that complicated. Poland is a good example of similar privatization and rampant crime. They went through similar processes, albeit ultimately by different paths. Over the past 35 years, Poland has enjoyed quite respectable (if not fantastic) growth rates. This raises the question: maybe it's not the changes themselves, but how they're happening and who's leading them? Hence, the question: what do you mean by Yeltsin's legacy, the political system?

        Poland had a completely open Western market, and its debts were completely written off. And their progress is so-so; they'll never reach Germany, no matter how much the Jewish people sponsor them. But you're a liberal; you're not interested in such details.

          Oh, and you're apparently a "turbo"—you heard the sound, but you don't know where it is! So what was closed to us in the European market that was open to Poland? Perhaps the biggest barrier was the protective duties on metallurgy due to our non-market conditions. However, these duties didn't prohibit sales; they merely brought our product prices closer to global prices (and ours were slightly lower).
          As for debts, the Poles weren't written off all of their debts to the Parisian club, only half, which is about 20% of the total (or $15 billion). Moreover, the write-offs weren't all at once, but rather spread over 15 years, stretching back to the early 00s.
          We were charged a roughly similar amount, another issue is that for the sake of the USSR's foreign assets, we took on all the debts of the USSR (an additional 30 billion), but we didn't have to do that.
          Regarding the leap, Poland's per capita GDP is approximately $31500 in absolute terms and $51500 in PPP terms, compared to $18500 and $50000 in Russia. The minimum wage in Poland is currently €1120, or 113 rubles. Our average salary, according to Rosstat (it's hard to say whether we should trust it), is 99380 rubles, and our minimum wage is 27093 rubles.
          PS: As you can see, the achievements will be proportionally greater than ours, and this is without oil reserves and selling it in the 00s for $100+, but how does this cancel out or affect the fact that Poland had a similar starting point?…

            Well, that is to say, the match-fixer doesn't hide his thoughts. laughing
            And what was closed to us in the European market that was open to Poland?
            Yes, almost everything, fertilizers, for example, are subject to duties of 200%.
            But these duties did not prohibit the sale itself, they only brought the prices of our products closer to the global ones (and ours were slightly lower).
            What kind of nonsense is this? Trade barriers are obvious, like they could have banned everything then? What tariffs were imposed on Poland?
            Further on the debts - the Poles did not have all their debts written off, only half to the Parisian club, which is about 20% of the total (or $15 billion).
            They wrote off half of the 33 billion debt, where does the 20% come from? Then they wrote off half of the commercial debt as well.
            Moreover, the write-off did not take place all at once, but until the beginning of the 00s or over 15 years.
            what?
            We were charged approximately the same amount.
            amount or share? Countries vary in size.
            Regarding the jerk
            It's connected to the typical European policy of throwing EU subsidies at the country, especially after 2014. Similarly, Croatia was showered with money after the Yugoslav wars, and then the tap was turned off. Plus, Scandinavians were withdrawing their businesses from countries like Italy so that the Poles could buy weapons. The results, as we can see, are rather modest.

              Hmm... You're clearly in the "numbers are a terrible pseudoscience" category. As of 1991, Poland had approximately 55 billion in debt, 33 billion of which was owed to the Paris Club. Half of that 33 billion was written off, or maybe 15-20 billion (it's harder to calculate precisely, as some was written off as "debt debt," and some as overdue interest. Therefore, the canceled interest on that debt must also be taken into account).
              In 1991, Russia received approximately 65 billion from the USSR's debts, of which approximately 15-20 billion were written off (the exact amount depends on the calculation method), but the share of those written off decreased in 1993, the year Russia took on the entire remaining debt.
              Incidentally, yes, there were also prohibitive tariffs on Poland, both on minerals and agricultural products. The tariffs on meat were over 100%, but that's a minor detail...
              You clearly don't understand much about European funding either, so there's nothing to discuss... You've heard something, but how, in what amount, and for what purposes the money is allocated is unknown to you...
              P.S.: Regarding the "contract," I have two points for you: have you already signed the contract, so there's no need for negotiations? If not, then what are you waiting for?
              And secondly, any conflict always ends with negotiations, even WWII ended with them, but logic and erudition are also pseudoscience, I get it...

                What about the rest of the debt? There were write-offs there too.
                Incidentally, yes, there were also prohibitive tariffs on Poland, both on minerals and agricultural products. The tariffs on meat were over 100%, but that's a minor detail...

                  Regarding WWII, there were negotiations, but the USSR's condition was unconditional surrender.

Medicine is something else entirely; perhaps Moscow and St. Petersburg are doing well, but here in Siberia, they often can't perform even the simplest surgeries; there's no equipment, no specialists. The food is simply unbearable; after all, we've abolished all state regulations. Education—and the amount of effort invested in its destruction—I simply take my hat off to that. In short, we are a shining example of the globalists' self-destructive policies. Sure, there's a facade for the average person, but behind it, such things are happening that this whole rosy narrative, along with all the billionaire islands, seems somehow ridiculous. Just think of the closed parties for the gilded youth, which even depraved Europe is dying of. Even the most inveterate Western corrupt officials groan at the scale of corruption. After all, where they studied, we taught...

    Macron was right when he said, "Capitalism is getting stupid." And that means the people who inhabit it are getting stupid, too. Or, more accurately, their minds have been redirected elsewhere. A person can be as immersed in complex formulas as a fish in water, yet still be ignorant of simple concepts. When you read a book and don't like the dialogue, you simply discard it. In film, everything is more cleverly staged. A dialogue lasts no more than 1-2 minutes, and then the frame shifts to something else. Therefore, consciousness becomes clip-like.

    A healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition are the foundation of any medical school. The problem is that they're not a panacea for all ailments. Proper use of medications generally prolongs life. Any pill will have side effects, but it's a choice between the lesser of two evils. Another problem is that pills are often prescribed without first giving people the opportunity to change their lifestyle and diet.

      The following classification by an Austrian artist comes to mind here.
      Aryans capable of creation (ancient Greeks, Romans, Germanic peoples)
      Slavic peoples capable of creation under the sensitive guidance of the Aryans.
      Semites and Gypsies are only capable of destruction and parasitism.

    The further man moves away from nature, the more his mind becomes surrogate. Everything humanity has created so far has been connected to nature. We can strive to keep our pearl, Lake Baikal, clean, but if we don't take care of the environment around it, the results will be zero. Nature has taught man much.

    The reason seems to lie elsewhere. Man has been reduced to the status of a workhorse, forced to devote his entire healthy life to earning food and clothing, even without self-reproduction.

        In the Middle Ages, taxes were 10%, maybe 20%. And then you could do whatever you wanted. My son turned 16—in three days, they built him a house out of clay and logs, just like his parents'. Now the wage fund is less than 50%, a third of which goes to various taxes, and the money earned goes toward the mortgage and food.

    Vile, predatory capitalism


    I have not heard of any other examples; so far, all of his reforms have either failed or been rolled back over time.

    And it's quite possible that this is precisely one of the reasons for this descent into idiocy: the system is deteriorating, returning to the state it was in, say, a century and a half ago; inequality is growing, the standard of living in developed countries is falling, and "freedom," expressed in various forms of "creative self-expression," only exacerbates the problem.

    A huge thank you to the author for the article and her proactive stance, and to concerned readers for their truthful and insightful comments. But no matter how critically these issues are discussed, as the saying goes, "the cart is still there" (I.A. Krylov's "The Swan, the Pike, and the Crayfish"). Indeed, we should avoid ending up like the Neanderthals, displaced by savage Homo sapiens, leaving only a small section of genetic code to a small number of modern humans. Similarly, we may end up passing on only a small section of genetic code to a minority of future Russians.
    As a possible way out of this situation, I will tell you a story that happened to me. One day, I needed to go with my youngest son to a neighboring regional center. Well, I decided not to bother the older children by taking them, not to order a taxi, but to use public transport. So, my son and I are sitting at the bus station waiting for the bus, some passengers from the village sat across from us, and they met some acquaintances from the village from another village. They met and started talking. I might be glad not to listen to them, but you can’t plug your ears, it’s somehow inappropriate. And so some boast to each other, “No matter which house you go to in our village, there are always brothers and sisters, in our family, the mother is the same, but the fathers are different. You go to another house, and there, on the contrary, we have the same father, but different mothers.” I thought, "What a commune, this commune needs a good chairman, and here you have a millionaire collective farm." Later, regarding this case, I thought that there is some negative attitude in society towards communes, swingers, and adultery. But in comparison with what our ancestors did, modern swingers will seem like innocent babies. And everything is fine: the demographics increased, and the empire expanded, and science developed, and the people did not degrade. And no matter how much I thought about this case, I did not find a better form of existence. Moreover, this form of existence is self-organized, and therefore strong and stable. A kind of matriarchal family community. But patriarchal communities are an unstable and unpredictable structure. But if we put a worthy, moral, knowledgeable man over this matriarchal community; as a leader and a moral compass. After all, this is a wonderful opportunity to begin career growth under the state program "Time of Heroes"; have proven themselves on the positive side as the chairman of the community, become a mayor, then a governor, then a minister. And it doesn't matter at all what this structure will be called - a commune, a community, or a parish (according to S.V. Sharapov). This community must become a state-public structure, with its own charter, a voluntary matter, and live in the commune strictly according to the charter. These communes can be organized not only in the countryside as a revival of dying villages, but also in cities near factories, thereby solving the problem of personnel shortage. With the help of communes, it is possible to solve problems: family, divorce, loneliness, demography. For example: a young couple got married in a commune, had children, then decided to break up, she fell in love with another, he with another. And no one will suffer from this: there is no need to divide the children because they will remain in the commune, housing and property too, because they are the property of the commune. And any other problems are easier to solve together.
    At the very least, it would be possible to conduct a social experiment, for example, on those sentenced to long terms for treason (how many of them are caught), and do it voluntarily, in a closed area. It certainly wouldn't make things worse for them, and I think human rights activists would be delighted, too.

    For example, in certain areas, the Soviet Union, or today's China, pursued policies that were entirely focused on humankind and its development. This is precisely why Soviet civilization, the Soviet Union that had been dragging all of humanity toward the stars, the "beautiful faraway land," was destroyed.

    This is a system aimed at simplification and degradation of man and humanity.

    The American way of life is that plumbers are licensed (the only ones allowed to fix toilets), electricians, rednecks, and so on. Everyone minds their own business and doesn't meddle in other areas, which guarantees well-paying jobs for all licensed workers and engineers. Everyone pays taxes—that's good for the state.
    Engineers are created out of thin air - with this approach they simply have nowhere to come from, there is no practice and no theory.
    Our education system was built on an excessive surplus of engineering and technical workers; beer sellers in the USSR all had higher education. The right people were "identified" back in college. The rest filled the TV repair shops, radio, and television stations; factories also needed "specialists."
    There were very few real specialists. But the general level of education was very high, which created a stir in people's minds. Comedians who were specialists in the aviation industry were not at all uncommon.
    And the reason is the unwillingness to pay engineers a decent salary for an ENGINEER and a lack of understanding - what he sits and thinks!! A combine operator is clear, a miner is clear, a mechanic is also clear, but an engineer is unclear.
    But actors and athletes are also understandable, so there is everything listed above, and the engineers are OURS, they work for all Western corporations and quite successfully. Boeing is an example of this, the wings and other parts of the aircraft were designed by a bureau in Russia for it.
    I work in renewable energy, but I end up getting paid as a mechanic, not an engineer, and this is destroying the structure and succession of generations. There is simply no one to teach and NO ONE!!

    The reasons are not primarily conspiracies or the fact that ancient customs have been forgotten.

    The rise of civilization in the 20th century was primarily due to cheap oil energy. Whether this made people smarter is questionable. The number of educated people increased by orders of magnitude, but the quality of education per individual educated person declined. The increasing sophistication of technology led to greater specialization: an engineer of the early 20th century could understand a wide range of problems, while an engineer of the early 21st century knows their specific model of technology and its equivalents. At the same time, the global economy gave rise to a primitivism: it seemed as if nothing new needed to be invented; everything had already been invented.
    And now globalism is bursting at the seams, and it's becoming clear that there are no resources, no educated personnel, not even personnel willing to work with their hands. Only "qualified consumers." And even their "qualifications" in this matter are questionable.
