@BroDrillard @sickburnbro @Rocket :Ackshually: "Average" IQ will always be at 100, by definition. What changes though is the intellectual prowess that 100 IQ represents. And that is definitely cratering.

On top of the airplane debacle, I'm starting to hear that cruise ships are suffering the same fates. As if there's anything that could make a floating, boomer-containing, incubation tray casino any worse.

I also wonder how much of soil depletion is due to modern waste management. We shouldn't take the India route of "lol what's waste management". But a large amount of compostable food waste sits in a landfill next to old batteries. So we're making our best soil unusable.
