Surrounded By Morons! The Mob Worshipping The Cause Of Their Own Destruction.

I sometimes wonder if I'm being too harsh when faced with another example of common stupidity and I exclaim, I'm surrounded by morons! (SBM©

There are so many signs that we in the West, are on the cusp of a new dark age. 'New age' religions are on the rise, as are the number of believers in nonesense like astrology, gender fluidity, gender as a social construct and so on.

Average IQ is falling in the West: according to one psychology professor at the University of Amsterdam it has fallen among Westerners by as many as 14 points since the beginning of the 20th century.

According to Jan te Nijenhuis, a psychology professor at the University of Amsterdam, this is "due to more intelligent women have fewer children than those who are less clever.” Others blame mass migration to the West from developing countries.

Whatever the reason, I see more and more evidence of the moronification of the West, every day.

Do we need any more evidence than the burning and looting of property in the US, allegedly in response to police brutality against African Americans? And calls to defund the police, while this violence and destruction is on the rise? That's, hardly evidence of an incrreasingly intelligent society.

More proof I am surrounded by morons, is watching political leaders in the West, unnecessarily driving their country's or state's economies into the ground, being cheered on by the populace

These leaders have applied strict lock-downs and restrictions in response to Covid-19; and have done so without any cost/benefit analysis, or any strategic plan to lift the lock-downs or restrictions.

Despite the original scary predictions of infection and death rates being totally debunked, and the basis of the restrictions to flatten the curve and avoid overwhelming health services being achieved, the political leaders have largely continued the economy and society destroying Covid-19 restrictions, without reasonable explanation. Yet they have become hugely more popular than before the Covid crisis.

Meanwhile, political leaders who are taking a measured approach, trying to balance public safety from Covid-19, with the population's overall well-being; taking into account all important factors including economic, social, emotional and health considerations, are seeing their popularity wane.

I believe this is because the Covid-19 strict politicians haven't articulated the downside of their plan, or lack of plan, and the population is largely too stupid to work out there is a down side, or they simply don't want to know.

Anyone who tries to point out the down side of the restrictions, and that we must balance lives with costs, are soundly vilified by the mob, including the media mob.

British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, social critic, political activist, Nobel laureate, and above all, like myself, a sceptic, Bertrand Russell wrote succinctly about this issue, quoted below:
