Ladies and gentlemen, we are devolving

Recently, NASA's space vessel Voyager II reached an area outside our Solar System, phoning home all sorts of new information. Our astrophysics has never been this advanced! Meanwhile, life in general sucks harder by the day.

Understanding more of the heliosphere doesn't impact anyone's life positively. Things went backwards for most of the world in the last 20 or 30 years. Today's world sucks compared to the 80's~00's. But the world before the 80's was also much worse than 80's~00's.

The global drop in IQ is a testment to this. Humanity reached it's intellectual peak during the 90's, after seeing constant improvement over many decades. This was called the Flynn effect, which is now working backwards.

The most recent evidence suggests that this trend may now be slowing. It may even be reversing, meaning that we have already passed the summit of human intellectual potential.

Thanks to the rise of the united industries ripping the world apart for profit, everyone's quality of life is going from bad to worse. Old diseases are coming back, nonsensical moral values are becoming dominant and people are more easily manipulated than ever, all thanks to the newest technology available.

Everything bad in your life can be linked to profit: cancer-inducing radiation from everything with a computer chip in it, disease-inducing food habits propagated by the media, long term effects of the lack of proper healthcare by governmental agencies supposed to invest in these sectors using tax money, industrial pollution, agriculture filled with toxic chemistry... The list goes on.

Instead of fixing the problems we have created and maintained for ourselves, we feel relieved when other species suffer terrible experiments to save our lives. They suffer because of the damage we do to ourselves... That's stupid, specially when those sources of human-to-human damage only don't get dismantled because they are profitable.

Examples of 2019's IQ problems: anti-vaxxers, flat earth theorists, not being able to put down your mobile phone for more than a minute because you feel uncomfortable by yourself.
