Global avg IQ is sinking and technology is becoming unmanageable by the humans available to manage it. Let's look at how complex systems are doing.
- airplanes: Fuckups everywhere from maintenance and manufacturing of airplanes. Shaniquas piloting planes and doing ATC aren't going to keep mass air travel going. No Concorde anymore.
- software: See all the critical data leaks like millions of SSNs, or the recent security updates that bricked a bunch of computers, and airlines, and everybody else depending on them for days.
- nukes: See the recent post by Simplicius describing how nuke manufacturing at Los Alamos is a shitshow. Nuclear power plants will be the next failure point.
- replication crisis in "sciences" and mostly irrelevant tinkering around the safe edges in hard sciences
- The population is unhealthy, food is unhealthy, soil is depleting.
- Mistakes by doctors is the third leading cause of death, and many of the medications pharma is selling do more harm than good.
- Media and government is lying nonstop. It's hard to know what is true any more. Let's not even talk about ((finance)) and the economy.
- Birth rates among higher IQ populations are cratering.
But every idiot is worrying about climate change which IS a fake problem.
