>>13995638You're watching a third/fourth round of wisdom being lost during the intergenrational handover. Institutionalists have this belief that knowldge of the world is enduring and endemic when the amount of people who can change their car's oil, navigate with a map and compass, or even cook a basic meal with meat and vegetables is at an all time low. This is to say nothing of more abstract ideas such as global trade or even how to setup a LAN.
Today's Westerners consume media and use that in place of culture and traditions. All roots are severed in place of being an ingredient in the Melting Pot. When the masses forget things such as the scientific method, statistical analysis, effectice governance, etc., then it is already too late and the ignorance has metastasized.
