"It really feels like the population is dumbed way down."
As much as I want to say "yeah totally people are getting dumber", I can't just agree and leave it at that. Even though that's certainly is how it **feels **things are from my point of view.
There have always been dumb people, but they are God's children, and being a little dim in and of itself doesn't make them inherently difficult people. But it does leave them vulnerable to pitfalls most of us here are able to see clear as day. And the cultural denial of religion leaves those without the mental power to form their own educated opinions of ethics without an ethical framework to cling to. And without strong cultural norms, of course, the "do whatever you want" mentality is going to spread.
I seriously think we're seeing more of a situation where the mentally ill, the lower IQ, and those exposed to street drugs are easy for organizations/media to manipulate. And oh how the speed of manipulation is faster than ever before.
People who have been actively manipulated to bring out the worst versions of themselves, and then those people have the biggest soap box (the internet) in history available with idiot-proof simple UIs that weren't even available in this convenient of a form10 years ago.
And many of them probably could be talked out of their incorrect understanding of the world, but it's a pretty big ask to get someone to stop everything that are doing and flip their understanding of good and evil....especially if they have already made tragic irreversible choices based on the fake version of the world they have been fed. Q said if everyone was just given the truth, hospitals would be overflowing, and I think he meant we would have many people suddenly be ready to "self-delete" in the face of understanding what evils they had been tools to.
And this doesn't even remotely bring up the ramifications of the various traumatic events that make people crappier versions of themselves. 9/11, terrorism, false flags, the economic problems, the food system being abused and tainted (and not even at requiring proper labeling), chemicals, cancer spiking (it has stolen many in my family), etc... People start breaking when they are stepped on too hard. The people who can stomach looking at this forum (moreso for the active researchers who bring us information) are the people with the mental fortitude to "run into a burning building".
So.... Yes, people generally feel frustratingly stupid to deal with.
But we must be careful to remember while some people happen to be dumb, they are far better neighbors than those who are willfully ignorant.
Religion is not the answer ....that's ritual and not the way....
Go inside yourself....Honest enquiry into who you really are? Where did you come from? Where will you go when you die? these are the questions that if you keep praying for answers will bring you inner peace and happiness...
Your post comes off as though you're trying to sound edgy while having not bothered to read the content of what you are replying to.
I was referring to the usefulness of the structure of religion for the low IQ in an objective way, notice I didn't mention a specific type of religion "being the answer". It's simply a fact some people are too dumb to conceptualize empathy or form functional moral structures, and lacking those structures leads low-IQ people to be easily manipulated into awful belief systems and easily caught up in "current thing" insanity because of their lack of innate moral compass.
"that's ritual and not the way...." Ritual is objectively the best many low IQ can manage, and implying otherwise simply is simply not accepting the situation. The ritual doesn't have to be religious, but the charity systems built into many various religions are also objectively useful for those who are not too bright to be able to lean on for structure.
I did mention God, but suggesting humans have the baseline value of being human no matter their intelligence is certainly a viewpoint many non-religious people hold as well.
But yeah, maybe actually read someone's post if you are going to suggest they change their major worldviews. Or don't just get triggered at the mention of God.
Yes I see your point. Can you teach empathy? Or can you acquire it.?
Low iq? Very clever people ..intellect...can have absolutely no emotional intelligence at all....all left brain. While so called low iq can have a very proud spiritual life close to nature
I had thought ritual had its place as right hand side of brain doesn't use words.it responds to .symbols music etc but it's just my opinion that it can be taken as enough..
