This is something I have been thinking about. and here are the reasons why.
1) The world is mad and totally uncivilised in terms of politics.
2) Most people are incapable of having a conversation without getting nasty
3) Literacy is on the decline and it would appear IQ is too
4) The worlds fastest plane was built 70 years ago
5) The worlds fastest air liner was decades ago
6) We could go to the moon in the 60's but cant now, and we have lost the evidence.
7) Antibiotics are failing
8) They are creating Vaccines for mental conditions.
9) People are loosing the ability to count.
10) The media lies and cant be trusted.
11) Corporations are psychopathic.
and on and on
Im sure you can think of many more and yes there are conspiracy theories for many of these but the fact remains we are less capable than we were before in all these fields.
Yes I understand things have improved in the areas of miniaturisation microchips and surveillance tech but is that because of us, or is it because our machines are doing it?
It is as though advancements stopped fifty or more years ago.
Back in the 80's I am sure we could do anything they do today if we had the budgets they have now, and more.
It may be that we are in decline, and for sure if there was an EMP weapon used that took out all computers vast amounts of knowledge will be lost. As each hard drive goes down now we loose not only data but real knowledge that had been stored on it.
Again, has our civilisation peaked?
