Lots of money wasted on research. Most high school kids could tell you that.
Duh.
The strongest and most violent will win at the end. Most men fight against their natural tendencies of protection.
Man wasn't meant to be docile. The neurotic nature of modern society is proving that out.

The 60's social revolution fricked some men up permanently. Man wasn't built for collectivism.

Lol. Don’t over complicate it. The opening narration tells you all you need to know about the premise.
——————
“As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point. Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest, the fastest, reproduced in greater numbers than the rest, a process which had once favored the noblest traits of man, now began to favor different traits. Most science fiction of the day predicted a future that was more civilized and more intelligent. But as time went on, things seemed to be heading in the opposite direction. A dumbing down. How did this happen? Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species.”

When you want less of something, tax it. When you want more of something, subsidize it.
Prior to welfare, the reward for not working was to starve (literally as well as figuratively). Hunger is a powerful motivator for encouraging people to work.
Today, no one has to starve if they don't want to work. Sure, the lifestyle isn't the greatest but humans are highly adaptive and many will quickly adjust their lives to get the most out of not working while receiving government benefits. This then becomes a lifestyle, one in which many have no motivation to leave.
As they aren't working nor pursuing scholarly goals, their time ends up being spent in some form of indulgence. Cigarettes, booze, drugs, sex... all in the most irresponsible manners, which ends up creating more children who grow up to be just like their parents.
And we wonder why our society has become more violent and less empathetic.

Globally IQs are dropping. Problem solving skills are disappearing.
Democracy aids in this because its a race to the bottom. Not a diss on "democracy" because there are worse things about it. Its just a side effect.

Welfare. It’s pretty simple. We pay women to have children and to keep the father out of the home. You don’t qualify for shite if you and your spouse are making money.

Look at this fairy shite.
Without collectivism, there would be no fricking wars. Collectivism retards individual excellence.
Collectivism is a race to the bottom.

There has to be some thought of the collective or common good, it benefits everyone for it to be that way. If you’re a hunter/gatherer and you break your leg, others would care for you until healed, then you can contribute once again. Everyone benefits overall.

Well... stupid, flightless Dodo birds had a pretty good run in Mauritius right up until ANYTHING different happened. Then they all died and were eaten.
So science proved stupid without consequences is cool until ANYTHING happens.

Yes....but accidental? Coincidental?
Many theories abound on the obvious orchestrated agenda of dumbing-down of the pods...
...But also may also be facilitated the result of chemical and viral sabotage of humanity's DNA body & brain (see plastics, soy, vaxxs, air/environmental/food/products pollutants).

You were saying...
Not to mention all of the trashy "reality" shows that are out there.

For minimal things. Collectivism weighs humanity down in the long run
It helps people who cannot do for themselves, it limits people who are exceptional.

We shouldn't let people starve but they should be eating government cheese and baloney, not shopping at Publix with our tax $$$.
