Modern Americans are just as smart as the rest of the world. But the rest of the world locks up people who fight the official narrative.
You aren't in the end times. You are seeing what normal times look like. The US has been in over a century of prosperity. Humans are meant to handle challenge, but humans are never capable of handling prosperity. Prosperity causes major addictions, both literally and metaphorically.
Addicts just don't want to listen. They won't listen until they break their addiction.
I find it interesting how true that is at a personal level. if I don't struggle I suck, so I put myself in positions where I struggle to succeed.
sadly many people understand power and money as success rather than self accomplishment. I don't need to struggle yo make money, but it feels very empty.
It says that it is better to eat herbs than meat if the herbs arw worked for and the meat not worked for, since it says that the herbs will taste better than the meat if you actually worked for them.
Similarly, it says that rest after a hard day is more restful and rewarding than rest without work.
Kinda wild how this wisdom has been available to us for millenia but society continues to try to deny it.

Proverbs talks exactly about what you talk about.
It says that it is better to eat herbs than meat if the herbs arw worked for and the meat not worked for, since it says that the herbs will taste better than the meat if you actually worked for them.
Similarly, it says that rest after a hard day is more restful and rewarding than rest without work.
