Do you think that the dumbing down of the population is intentional? And if so what do you think the main culprits are?

I think by now it is obvious and goes without saying that, many people are falling off the IQ radar, or perhaps so damaged in terms of either thier nervous system or ability to handle dopamine properly that mood disorders are rampant.

I'm not going to initially go into my experiences this past year, but, I will say this much, the majority of the people I meet seem to suffer from Lethargy, Stupidity, Nervous system issues or are otherwise chemically imbalanced in one way or another.

It has reached a point where, I take concious effort to avoid contact with people or dealings with people I notice the signs in.

I have also written a thread on Overall Toxicity which I think is a very relevant factor

But here I would like to address this froma conspiracy standpoint... work together to try and track down the root causes of what is afflicting people.

Because honestly and truely, the term stupid American has taken on real meaning and I have news for those of you over seas... it might not be as bad where ever you are yet, but it seems to be worsening everywhere.

I have to wonder that it is either a causation of various factors we can identify and work to eliminate if not an Intentional set of circumstances...


I would like to discuss... (feel free to add to the list) the following factors and expand as we go along

1: Chemtrails Aluminium detections within them and the effect of Aluminium on the human mind and nervous system

2: The educational system, particularly the horrific effects on those of above average Intelligence and systems such as "no child left behind" which cater to the lowest common denominator while forgeting about gifted children entirely

3: The effects of divorce and other lifestyle factors, propoganda, lifestyle education being pushed on children and the medias influence on the young

4: Diet, particulary 40 years of transfat, which if it can affect the arteries in our hearts...what effect has this been having on our brains?

5: Dopamine stimulation and mood disorders, dopamine stimulation can be induced by, games, televison, sex, the internet...along with drugs... Overall I'd like to discuss the effects of overstimulation on mood and thought process

6: The narrowing down of WHO would most benefit from dumbing down the people and from what sources any processes we identify stem from and who owns the companies and the political powers involved

7: Prion disease and it's relation to alzhiemers and how wide spread it might actually be in our societies

8: Long term effects of drug use, both street and perscription

9: Ways in which we can Reverse the process and fight back


please again feel free to add... I think this is very important, people seem to be breaking down... I would like to develop a long term campaign of the cooperative to really work on this topic.

People often talk about fighting back and revolution, the first thing we have to give people back is control of thier heads... with Intelligence in numbers rational solutions to the rest of the problems can come... but it's hopless with IQ's diminishing and personalities in a state of self destruction.

Please contribute your ideas and opinions on what we can do to stop the decline and increase intelligence... first step being... Identification of the Causes

Best thread title ever.

I heard about a movie made by Mike Judge. (I think it was his, I'm not 100% on that.) Anyway, I read that the movie is about how nowadays the dumber families seem to be producing more than the smarter families. Anybody know what movie I'm talking about?
There's also the whole TV and video game factors which have increased over the past few decades.

edit - I see you already mentioned the media and entertainment. I must be getting tired(or stupid ), although I'll leave that in there to point out how there is a lot more of it than there used to be.

I think anyone viewing this thread needs to watch the movie "Idiocracy".

Decent screenplay, Hilarious story.

*edit*

Damnit, someone beat me to it.

Don't forget, plants need electrolytes to.

Though I agree that there could be many chemical reasons for the dumbing down of our population, I think the real root is where people get their information. I think I read once that only 2% of Americans read books on a regular basis and something like 10% read the newspaper. Before television almost every literate person read books daily. Also, most of them read the newspaper on a weekly basis. These were forms of entertainment that worked to keep the population informed, educated, basically, smart. Today people choose to get their information from TV, the "boob tube." I am pretty sure that term came from the fact that those who watched it a lot became boobs (ignorant or foolish people). Now, don't get me wrong I watch my fair share of TV as well, however, I don't think I watch it as much as most and I typically find myself watching the Discovery, Science, and History channels and of course CNBC, MSNBC, and CNN. Again, I too watch mind numbing things like movies, SNL, Mad Men, various HBO series, and Survivor, but I also read, and read a lot. I read books, newspapers, magazines, just about anything I can get my hands on. So, in summation, I think Americans are becoming more and more ignorant by the day because they completely rely on the boob tube for their news, entertainment, and their perspective on reality. Aren't our political officials lucky.

Don't forget the fluoride conspiracy

Yeah I find it sad too that it is hard to have a "real "conversation" nowadays with a lot of people.

All they do is talk talk talk but they haven't got anything to say.

Huh, maybe this is why every time you turn on the news it seems to have more bad news than good.

Who is behind the dumbing down of America? A good question,OP here's my take on the situation:The power elite of the world do not want an aware intelligent popluation that wolud not serve their needs and interests if half the people of the world were awake you wolud see a massive world wide revolution,they have found the best way to keep the mases docile is to distract them,keep them drugged or keep the few people alienated from the rest of the herd.
