no i don't think we are devolving, rather that we're just not evolving any more, we've stagnated, and the power that technology brought us ends up showing our fails better because they get bigger and more serious. example: 100 years ago ecological insensibility caused localized issues at worst, today it threatens life on a planet-wide scale. same with war: while 100 years ago a world total war would bring misery to half the world, today it would destroy it. and with financial corruption: 100 years ago greed, economy schemes and financial fraud were responsible for wide spread social problems; and a period of social revolutions followed everywhere in the west, however, today the same issues are destroying our basic liberties and conquered rights on a global scale. anyway let's hope this trend is disrupted, as technology is now bringing us a lot more information than the ones that allowed us to have it ever thought it would, and that might just lead us to a global conscience that makes us reject the corrupt covered dictatorship regimes we're all living in. i hope, someday; we all deserve better than this.

back in the day in order to be smart one generally had to make an effort unlike today where everyone is in these public schools and are force fed information... now a days their are so many specializations and different types of knowledge exist its hard to say what is smart...is some physics professor who knows all the generally useless shit smart? does going to college make you smart? does have street smarts and survival skills smart? just go to any 3 or 4th year college class their are alot of idiots who will eventually get their 4 year degree...and some maybe higher.. also most of these really smart people in todays society probably wouldnt survive a week if they somehow went back to 700 years ago (for various reasons)...does that make them smart...

Interesting report on the news today.
Apparently in Australia women (on average) have been suffering from iodine deficiencies over the last 20 years or so. Lack of iodine in pregnant women leads to less of a certain hormone that can lead to learning difficulties in their offspring. So I guess all of the benefit of removing lead from our fuels twenty odd years ago has been offset by health campaigns to lower salt consumption! (non-iodized salt being common)

And we also know that there is also a correlation between the reduction of piracy and global warming but that does not alter the fact that iodine is necessary for proper thyroid function and in turn the development of the placenta in pregnant women.
