In Illinois, a commission tested the knowledge of students
from 30 randomly selected schools
(https:/linkcuts.org/x0mcrxw8). The results were
disheartening: not a single student passed the tests at
their respective grade levels, and there were serious
difficulties with basic reading skills. There are two main
approaches to testing: oral questioning by a teacher and
mass testing with a large number of questions. The second
method allows for comparison of knowledge across different
generations. It is known that teachers from the 1970s could
not answer questions from the early 20th century, whereas
graduates of that era were multilingual and possessed broad
erudition. Over time, the level of knowledge has changed.
Between 1950 and 1970, children knew fewer languages
but were more erudite. Textbooks from the 1930s were clearer
and more substantive than later editions, whereas modern
textbooks often become mere collections of facts without
meaning. Today's schoolchildren do not even know basic
historical and cultural figures. However, this is not
necessarily a sign of the degradation of the education
system: private schools and universities have good programs
and qualified teachers, and access to information on the
internet is vast. Nevertheless, graduates often fall behind
even the average students of the 20th century. The likely
cause lies deeper - in degenerative genetic changes within
humans themselves. Modern generations differ in appearance
and health, which also reflects changes in intelligence.
People are becoming less resilient and mentally unprepared,
and the average lifespan is decreasing. Contemporary youth
differ from previous generations in height, body mass, and
proportions. There is an increase in the prevalence of
overweight, obesity, hypertrophic gigantism, as well as
signs such as cellulite, heart attacks, and strokes among
young people - conditions that were rare in the past.
Studies show that the structure and density of bones in
modern youth have deteriorated compared to the past.
Chronicdiseases, including cardiovascular problems, have
also become more common. It is well known that age-related
illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and
musculoskeletal issues are now affecting people under 30.
Historically, humans required different qualities for
survival. During the era of scientific and technological
progress in the 20th century, mental abilities and health
improved, facilitating societal development. Today, however,
a reverse process is observed - declining mental capacities
and worsening health across subsequent generations.
Independent research indicates a decline in average IQ
scores in several countries over recent decades.
Schoolchildren and students demonstrate shallower knowledge
of basic cultural and historical topics compared to previous
generations. The widespread dependence on smartphones has
affected the ability to concentrate and absorb complex
information. The constant dopamine surges from smartphone
and social media use have led to a significant increase in
anxiety disorders, depression, and other mental health
issues among young people, resulting in deviant and
inadequate behavior. This clearly appears to be part of a
global effort by transnational elites aimed at creating a
new society with low intelligence and a shortened lifespan.
In such a world, people will be unable to pass knowledge to
future generations, leading to radical changes in social
structure. It seems that genetic selection, including mRNA
vaccination of new Homo sapiens, targets the brain and
limits lifespan. Today, independent media report that
25-year-olds look and feel worse than people over 40.
Observing this pronounced wave of artificially induced
degeneration, one can conclude that in the near future,
people will live on average 40-50 years, similar to the 19th
century. They will be foolish and unhealthy, vaccinated
through subscriptions - serving the goal of depopulating
humanity.
