Can anyone deny we're collectively devolving?

Measure it on any metric you want but people now for damn sure ain't what they were 20 years ago. The devolution is also increasing exponentially as its super evident for those with the eyes to see.

People are more connected to illusions and make believe than they are to themselves.

Folk are more frail these days. Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. Attention spans no longer exist. Creativity is at an all time low. Integrity is a very rare commodity. I could go on but you get the point.

Wise is the man who is immune to the madness of crowds and individualizes himself as we're evidently witnessing mass human engineering on a scale that was unimaginable previously.

All according to Keikaku...

I disagree

But it can seem that way if you're looking at Thecoli, Twitter and some of our surroundings


But the truth is we have scientist and great thinkers all across the globe developing new technologies and breaking new boundries everyday.


As bad as 2020s crime rate was in the states and as bad as the crime rate was in the 90s it's still less violent than it was during the medieval era where brehs could just randomly rape or chop someone's head off with a sword and no cops would come because cops didn't exist and there were no phones to call them.


Check out Stephen Pinkers book "The better angels of our nature. It goes into detail of how modern society is better than it's ever been at any other point in history and backs it up with stats and numbers


Here's the entire audiobook for free

I don't disagree with your points but I do feel our technology has long outstripped our humanity and that cannot end well.

Earlier eras certainly were more brutal but you could argue that was because the people actually had more energy, less distractions and a warriors spirit that found a way to express itself physically in rebellion to the systemized oppression. Nowadays even kids are tired all the time due to sleepwalking through life with fragmented consciousness, low vibration entertainment and chemically assisted food like substances for nutrition as they let their Twitter fingers do all the talking of what they're not capable of walking.

Its a dirty game and it pours filth on those who play it long enough unless they learn how to keep it clean.

Your perception = your reality.

change up the type of things you read, watch, listen to, type of ppl you talk to and you’ll see a shift

A valid perspective and an alluring trap at the same time. There is an immense difference between seeing the world as it is with all the schemes, plans and plot twists as opposed to putting on rose tints and filtering out what doesn't fit. One knows what time it is, the other will be in for a rude awakening when he wants it to be one way but it isn't.

What I've outlined is just an observation of what I've noticed over the past few when looking at the herd and how they move from time to time, thats why I said:

"Wise is the man who is immune to the madness of crowds and individualizes himself as we're evidently witnessing mass human engineering on a scale that was unimaginable previously."

If you can't see it then its doing its job perfectly because the system is designed to be invisible to the unaware...

Living in a stable, advanced civilization instead of in a barbaric society, with a perpetual state of conflict isn't devolution.

What does the word Devolve mean to you ?

- The concept of "devolution" is built on the notion that evolution has a direction (thus, devolution occurs when evolution goes "backwards"), but evolution does not have a direction. Natural selection simply adapts organisms to their current environment, and what is beneficial may change as the environment changes.

Be less than those who came before. Look around at pretty much anything and tell me that doesn't ring true?

Anyone can consume, few create. Anyone can copy, few innovate. Few can reason, everyone regurgitates.

There has been an immense drop off in so many tangible variables in the past few generations from hormone levels, fertility, obesity, attention levels etc.. that I'm quite surprised people wish to act like they haven't spotted this. Quite certain it will become obvious soon enough because there is only so long fake real can pretend.

Some of us maybe, not everyone devolving :manny:

what you worship will rule over you

Very true, by default if you are aware of it happening you're already one step ahead of the game and will act accordingly. Those caught up in the mix won't get it because they don't want to see it.
