culturally, our concept of liberalism and the reciprocal relationship between the government and the governed has been perveted such that we now view the pursuit of individual freedoms and rights as morally corrupt as this pursuit has been associated with immoral degeneracy, with our governments being perceived as a of manager of this corruption - this is not liberalism, liberalism is the concept when a government invests into it's average citizen and enables them to pursue their goals then the fruit of the average citizen's labour is a benefit to everyone, government included. it's s risk for those who are in control - to give the average person not only wealth and knowledge, but even the ability to replace you, their ruler, one day.
economics is decreasingly tied to material resource and we are increasingly trading in immaterial products that don't actually serve any purpose other than entertainment and frivolities. our population increases while our wealth stagnates, this means that the same wealth is spread across a larger number of people and we are all poorer as a result.
intellectually we are limiting and even removing the consequences of failure from study and education, when students fail they should be allowed to fail so that they can grow. the pursuit of intellect is no longer rewarded with value.
technologically, and this is the most dangerous one - technology is compounding. when we develop new technologies, developing newer technologies becomes easier. once you are ahead - you remain ahead. we are no longer ahead, we are equal.
genetics feeds into intellect.
