Although a relatively optimistic conclusion was reached. But the problems with the argument are real, too.

As the human race progresses, more and more stupid events emerge that may destroy us one day.

I cannot predict the future of the race, nor advise as a prophet.

However, I firmly believe that people should not think that human beings are getting smarter and smarter. Everything is relative, and the development of science and technology is indeed the result of intelligent development. However, we should not fall into historical nihilism, and we should not think that things we do not understand are stupid. Truth should be simpler but hidden. A clear awareness of human limitations is the door to wisdom.

One possibility is that humans are not getting stupid

Human stupidity is a permanent condition. Just like the wisdom of mankind for tens of thousands of years.

Human intelligence is in a spiral. We see only what's in front of us, solve problems we can understand, and often ignore both the past and the future. Despite advances in cognition and technology, we still do stupid things all the time.

At the same time, our stupidity is a unique human asset. We make mistakes, but we learn to ask through stupidity, to learn through stupidity, to reflect through stupidity.

# data[].attributes.body
With the advancement of technology and culture, the convenience and happiness of people's life are always accompanied by new problems and less predictable futures, and even new misfortunes.

The reason is that human beings are always controlled by desires, and the greater the wisdom under desires, the greater the folly and the greater the misfortune.

In my research, I've found that it's hard to identify stupid behavior over the course of history, because people's perceptions change. We do prefer to accept that people are going from being ignorant to being wiser. I will point out some problems that are not caused by ignorance. Because recent history is more detailed, it may be more descriptive, not less foolish in ancient times.

Throughout this process, human technology has been developing, and the ability to solve more and more problems has gradually increased, and the technological development interval has become shorter and shorter. It seems that people are getting smarter and smarter.

But I think that technological progress of a large part of the reason is that human knowledge has been passed, generation to generation through oral, books and all kinds of media information, even if IQ drop happened between generations, on the basis of the original, because invest more time and energy, is still possible to change under the premise of Big Ben.

At the same time, it is undeniable that technological progress has saved a lot of human labor input, and there may indeed be a decline in some abilities, such as physical strength, attention and so on. But it also gives us the opportunity to spend our time on more meaningful future development.Such savings also mean the possibility of more technological advances and even smarter people in the future.

I choose I choose people become stupid becauseWith the development of the Internet and artificial intelligence technology, our life is more modern and comfortable.

At the same time, a growing number of people believe that technological progress has made it so easy for humans to get everything, and that being privileged has led to a decline in intelligence. And as technology advances further, we humans may lose even more.

As a member of the "incapacitating" community, I counter this anxiety in my daily life and wonder whether people are becoming stupid.

Science now seems to be the authority in the mainstream. Ideas, however new, need to be validated by science.

There is a myth that human civilization and even human beings were created by aliens. Later aliens left the human environment, or hid, with the passage of time, people mouth to mouth, deified aliens.
Today, we have forgotten so much of what we know about advanced intelligence, such as the birth of the universe, the ultimate laws of the world, and so on, compared with ancient civilizations aided by advanced civilizations. Our knowledge of the world is far inferior to that of ancient humans.

Excessive faith in science

Once upon a time, one of our criteria for judging people as not "smart" was the argument that they weren't scientific enough. Because people in the past may rely on religion or ghosts to explain unsolvable problems, which is contrary to our attempts today. For example, when thunder struck, people thought that the gods were angry and punished sinful mortals, but today we know that it is actually a natural phenomenon of the interaction of positive and negative poles in rain clouds to produce heat and light.

Highly developed electronic tools have reduced people's ability to communicate

With the gradual development of communication technology, human beings gradually developed from oral communication to written communication, and then printing technology, radio and television and Internet technology emerged, enabling human beings to overcome the limitation of time and place and communicate instantly all the time. Nowadays, the developed Internet communication technology makes it normal for people to communicate on the Internet without face to face. Such network culture has given birth to a culture recognized by young people, social fear culture, which is afraid of communicating with others, minimize communication with unfamiliar people and prefer to live alone. Less active communication with real people is also a sign of reduced human intelligence.

The progress of society leads to the refinement of division of labor, which leads to some psychological problems

Marx believed that the essence of the division of production is the result of the continuous development of productive forces, and people choose suitable positions according to their talents and needs. In our society, the division of labor has gradually become more and more refined. Now, the division of labor has been divided into positions ranging from agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing to small positions. Everyone needs to perform their respective duties and become a member of the normal operation of the society. But at the same time, although each position exists separately, due to the market competitiveness, everyone is not very indispensable. If a person quits, he or she will soon find a replacement labor force to work, and he or she may be replaced without hard work. People are under great pressure to survive, and tend to deny their own value, thinking that they are parts of the society and jobs, losing their attributes as independent people, resulting in more and more psychological problems, which lead to the lack of some emotional and behavioral ability.

Or, in eastern China, Confucian culture was used as a political tool for governing for two thousand years. Its essence is Confucius' approval of western Zhou culture, and the Renaissance of western Zhou culture, so it can be traced to an even older culture. Its central ideas are forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, brotherly respect, courage, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Although its application has not changed its core ideas for thousands of years, it still exerts a strong influence on people's character and political practice in East Asia.
