Those statistics don't align with reality, based on history, observation and experience. Are more people wisening up these days, or progressing into foolishness? Face tats weren't a thing until recent years culturally... before that it was seen as completely alien, and I'm not sure the most barbaric cultures had face tats apart from Maori. Now it's outwardly accepted and celebrated by the masses. That's just one small example of humans becoming more idiotic (devolving)
Peace is one thing but excessive comfort leads to laziness and that's what's changing humans more than anything these days. The fact that one can order food at almost any time is contrary to millions years of hunting and gathering. That food is also usually not very healthy. Nobody has to put in work for things like that the way humans used to. Instead of travelling considerable distances to find a well for water, one can just turn on the tap and have some fluoridated h2o at will. There's a secret price to be paid for all these comforts and humans are paying dearly and quickly for it unbeknownst to themselves.
Self-discipline, especially in times of peace, is a mark of a true warrior. The weapon has to be kept sharp, so too with the mind, body and spirit.
...I wish I could be optimistic about human progress but it's evident there hasn't been any outside of acquiring technology that made life easy, at the price of making humans weak and lazy. And it's just one of many things contributing to the visible devolution of humanity.
At this rate AI will eventually be producing classic albums since people evidently lost the capacity for doing it themselves.
