Even a causal eye can see that folks are generally getting dumber and dumber as time rolls on and what with the internet feedback loop that seemingly defines modern life most people literally don't have a mind of their own, preferring instead to parrot cliches or regurgitate predigested perspectives and that's before we even get into the echo chamber culture of discussion groups and forums that perpetuate, validate and consolidate said idiocy.
It almost seems like Idiocracy was a documentary (if you haven't seen it yet please do) of days to come as the trajectory that the population is on doesn't really bode well as a quick glance at what's popular, top searches, water fountain talk, paper headlines and other general areas of fascination all point toward the same direction of global dip****tery that ranges from inane to farcical and yet they lap it up daily like the Pavlovian puppets they are.
Strange days on a planet filled with clockwork orangutans. I do wonder if who or what will come along to wake humanity from its collective torpor because most folk simply cannot see or grasp the bigger picture or implications of what is going on around them as they are simply so wrapped up in the familiarity of their own ignorance.
