This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

widespread cognitive and neurological decline.

Can you link a source for this?

Everything I have read indicates that IQ scores (as flawed as they are, they are one metric that has been used for decades) have been constantly rising for decades.
