>>14050748 was quite some doomposting>scientists and healthcare workers are massively overvalued compared to their current utility. The latter channel a huge and increasing fraction of the industrial surplus into extending the lifespans of diabetics, the morbidly obese and the extremely old;I hope this is a US perspective, around here people want to keep their parents and grand parents, and obesity is not that rampant.
>the former generate useless make-work publications based on unreliable or outright falsified data and mostly don't even have an understanding of their field that goes deeper than the average pop-sci you tube video series on it.Retraction Watch documents the problems we have.

>At least sports ball players are signalling high quality genetics to potential mates and seem to have a TFR above replacement. The genes that cause people to become scientists and healthcare workers will deservedly go extinct within a couple of generations and the world will be able to wake up from this nightmare of biomedical tyranny.Cities are already described as IQ shredders and the Flynn Effect is in full reversal with academia in full denial. If nothing is changed the West will implode and give way to a neo-medieval era.
