From a birds eye view of the situation right now, the problem I see is the infantilization of grown adults.
THIS comes at a cost - critical thinking.
With this infantalization comes a naive acceptance of an 'authority' telling you the truth.
The problem is that an adult with the mental age of 10 has the same 'weight' as a fully functioning, mature adult.
This is the problem.
With reducing IQ's, and less critical thinking, the children become the rulers.
(Lord of the flies, anyone?)
Then throw into the mix, manipulative adults handing out free candy to the children, for their affections....(soros et al)
How do we 'send the children to bed', without sweets, without blowing up the world in the midst of 'their' tantrums?
A conundrum.
Yup, we are infected with this belief in authority, and it doesn't go away as much as we think when we grow up.
Coming from a background from family who never really acknowledge it in the first place, has it benefits as an adult! lol
