are we returning to stone age?

[Natsuu]

It is highly unlikely that we will return to a lifestyle similar to that of 1000 or more years ago. Technology has become deeply integrated into our daily lives improving efficiency, communication & quality of life. The global population has massively increased making it difficult to sustain a primitive lifestyle. There is a growing movement towards sustainable living and minimalism where people seek to reduce their reliance on tech & live more self sufficiently which let’s face it, is a good thing. Complete regression is improbable but adopting elements of off-grid living is a possibility for some of us.

Right? Going back to a super old school lifestyle isn't likely with all the tech we have now. But lots of folks are into this whole sustainable living vibe, trying to dial down on tech and be more self-sufficient. It's a cool way to balance things out without going full caveman

i cant help. but seeing everything is in the rapid decline, I'm not know-it-all immortal being, but the rate of declining is insane. everyone treating life as YOLO, like the VIDEO GAME, where you can reset and replay the GAME again!

it is not real! the system clearly is getting glitched and out of control, I dont know what better words to describe this phenomena, education is on the rapid decline to a point it is like a city where simon quest occured, and the town is ravaged of gossip that is not true but a big LIES, such as "dont look at the death star or you would die!" the fittest survivalism is going full throttle, it is unbelievable some global power must be behind this insane decivilization, idk how they did so, they doing this virtually undetectable. can this be made into a film or into history chapter?

Or none of you have aware of what I'm talking about? it is scary moment I'm seeing something totally abnormal around me.

there is nothing I can do in real life, got totally silenced, this is where I can even sound my concern.

what I fear most is the lifespan would soon decline to cowboy age where average life of the peasant is about 30yo due to the poor healthcare and knowledge, also based on barbaric cowboy beating each other on street trying to impress girls.

As dire as things go right now, we're still living in one of the most peaceful times in the history of the planet. So it's not like we're fucked sideways. Can't say much about the economy however as we're living in one of the worst economic settings in history no thanks to the rampant decline of the world economy and the fall of capitalism. Now, are we going back to the stone ages? I don't think so. We have proven time and time again that humans could rise above adversity and if in any case a global threat does come around pretty sure we'd be able to pull through just like what we did in the past. I don't think fearmongering is the best thing to do at the moment considering how salvageable the situation is, and it's not like we're in the midst of a global war as well so there's no real threats to our lives at the moment besides the microplastics in our blood lol. What I'm trying to say is we're pretty much still safe regardless of what you think, so stressing about it is going to cause you even more problems than what we have to begin with.

Focus more on self-building and becoming a better version of yourself. Cause one thing's for sure, the world could burn down and everyone you love could leave you, but you will always have yourself. If you can't even stand to get up from the chair you've been sitting on cause you've fattened yourself up so much you couldn't even get out of the house without gasping for air then you're fucked royally. Financial buildup too, cause if the two world wars have proven anything it's that those who have money before the war would survive, and those who do not would die.

In 'The Time Machine' by H.G Wells written in the Victorian era he foresees a time in the future of great advance but also disparity where those who benefit from technology no longer understand it properly, where the workers are the enemies of those with gilded fortunes.   He was writing fiction but unfortunately it could resemble reality in that we arent likely to return to a stone age but its clear people are spoilt by technology and not fully aware of the benefits they have received by the work of others both living but also past inventions and progress hard made.
   If you are born into an age where everything is at your fingertips and a computer will do the work of a thousand people then where is your own personal achievement, it can be people are only consumers reliant on work delivered to them unseen;  I wouldnt describe this as a stone age but it is a failure quite easily.

Nowadays the development of the times is increasingly sophisticated and we who work today all use technology, and to return to the stone age I think it will be difficult to happen, if indeed at this time we are still working in other people's places but it is not a fatal failure for us, because in other areas there are still many unemployed who cannot do work because of very narrow job vacancies, If in the Stone Age we worked but the income we got was only a little even though we were a laborer, but now many changes are happening and very far from the Stone Age at that time.

[Z390]

It's sad, the older days are just always better, I wish I can go back to the 80s-90s, this are the best time that I know of, things have changed drastically, life was better when we have less technology, and my old man use to say that the more technology that human created the more problem there will be in the world, he was saying the fact all this while.

Today everything is now business, schools, hospitals, etc even doctors will tell you to your face that you should be thankful they choose to safe your life, after paying all the hospital bills yourself, I don't regret that I am witnessing all this, it's just the way of life, we will get older and die one day.

But even if one do die always remember that it doesn't ends with you, life will continue with or without you, so don't live all your life with regrets there is no coming back, I have heard stories about reincarnation,  but I believe that not everyone will be able to make it back if this reincarnation thing is real, forget the bad side of life, live your life to the fullest before your time is up.

Humans must strive all the days of their lives, call it a curse if you like, it's what it is, many people will live in mansions and die at a very young age while those who live in the slums will live over 80 years old with no issue, upon all the unhealthy environment and foods that they consume, this world is a misery pace where no human can fully understand.

Sad, but that's the reality and now human beings have no emotions or whatsoever as everything is money and we are running behind money and work like robot neither we are able to spend quality time with family nor friends and forget about relatives and those good days are long gone now but eventually we all will become old and retired and when we think of our life it would be an absolute misery as we will then realize that we were slaves to the technology. It can be reversed only if human greed index reduces.

These overreactions never really made sense to me. Sure if you are in a war zone for example, that must feel terrible, but have we never had war before? We do have hopes that we would get better, and we are now seeing live videos from war, we didn't back in the day, nobody went on twitter during world war two, everyone decided who was the hero and who was the enemy that way, now we watch and see the reality.

However, the reality is quite obvious, most of us are living a decent life, nothing major, but we are just sitting at home, going to work, eating, sleeping, nothing really weird. This means that life is not really all that quite different compared to 10 or 20 years ago. It's even getting better medically so I am happy about that part a lot.

[huu78]

there are so many factors, but as times progress, everything is instant, so here there is an acceleration, I mean the time needed to build becomes faster, but it also affects the health sector, so much food is instant and fast food (junk food), that is also a challenge for people in this world.
because the death rate is only at 90 years, I think it has stepped up now, the average is now at 50-70 years, and I think it will continue to decline.

[Kakmakr]

I saw this a while ago with all the misinformation and FUD that was spread with the Covid pandemic. We saw people following like sheep and not questioning the most obvious things.

We also saw a mob mentality, where people ganged up against each other to force their agenda.

The media were also used to influence people in a very aggresive manner, so most people just dropped their heads and followed the mainstream agenda.

Doomsday views about the world have always been popular even before social media existed, just look at the different religions that exist and you will see that most of them have this concept that things will at some point come to an end, and while in principle they are not wrong, as civilizations have come and go and that may happen to humans as well, it is very unlikely that humans will regress all the way back to the stone age, at worst I think we could go back to the early stages of the industrial revolution, and that is if a world catastrophe actually happened.

[retreat]

I also see that life is starting to get difficult now, where the prices of living necessities are increasing but at the same time people's salaries are not increasing too much. Not to mention the problem of increasingly high education and health costs and unreasonable taxes imposed on citizens, which means that many people today only have enough to survive after they receive their salary. Yes, we are heading there, where people's life expectancy is currently decreasing and perhaps in the future it will get worse if the government does not pay attention to this problem.

It's not returning to stone age though, it's just unfettered capitalism at work trying to get more money for the bosses and much less pay for the working class, there's a reason why the virtual assistant and hustle culture is being glorified and at the same time being promoted by a lot of companies, that's because they pay less on freelancers compared to hiring full-time employees. We're not going back to stone age but we're definitely heading to a dystopia if we haven't arrived on one yet.

[Ucy]

Well, such thing happens, and when you see it happening you know they are merely people controlled by what they consume, whether it's information and foods consumed via the eyes, ears, mouth and other parts of their bodies. Like they say in their World "you are what you eat or consume". Another important word to use for such phenomenon is programming. They are constantly being program to behave in certain ways to serve a particular agenda.
Ofcourse, they will barely understand you if you are not operating on thesame program. They will find you strange. But if you are smart/wise enough you would try to understand what they have been feeding on and pretend to part of them with your understanding of how the program, information or food that controls them works in people. They would eventually understand you once you are able to mimic or behave like them but with time you could be detected as a stranger because it's not kind of lifestyle you are used to. It's hard to pretend to be like them for so long.

The goal of the programmer or programmers is total control and take over of their world. If your love ones are under the influence of the program and you want them free, just isolated them from the rest and feed them with good/holy information, knowledge or education only. They will recover, assuming they'll be willing to be fed and absorb what they are fed. Once they recover and you show them their past lives they will be ashamed and realize it was all insanity , or that they were once mad.




* It's important to note that in that state of mind, the actual mad ones could see you as the one who's mad. unless you say something sensible or make them understand what it means to be mad.

Are we truly in decline, or simply witnessing a shift in power dynamics? While respect for the immense capabilities we possess might seem to be waning, it's undeniable that the potential to achieve groundbreaking advancements across diverse sectors has demonstrably increased.

Consider the realm of technology, where advancements have streamlined processes, improved efficiency, and even saved lives. Similarly, medical breakthroughs have allowed individuals to survive and thrive in circumstances that would have been insurmountable in past generations. These advancements represent not merely a reduction in losses, but a genuine expansion of human potential.

However, acknowledging progress as solely linear or universally positive would be a disservice to its nuances. The vast wealth generated in recent decades has coincided with a widening chasm of economic disparity, creating a stark contrast between the very rich and those struggling to make ends meet. This issue, more prevalent than in prior industrialization eras, demands a multifaceted approach that goes beyond mere humanitarian aid.

I see it this way. If the broad majority of people is not schooled enough to add 2+2 the way is towards the stonenages.
If the broad majority is able to add 2+2 to together and is able to repair cardboard or change a battery in their car the stone ages are far away.

Similar to the dark ages in humanity, where priests were preaching in latin so their people could not follow.

[DVlog]

We are not going to the stone Age but we are seeing major economic changes worldwide. The power is shifting and the world economy is balancing on its own. The superpower America and its currencies losing their power and dominance. Countries like china, India, brazil aim to create a common economic zone by keeping USA aside. This can create more instability as the USA will not let their power and dominance that easily. The world is shifting towards a multipolar economy.

[dezoel]

No not all are declining. What about the technology? They are in fact only improving. Not all are doing a YOLO but some take it slow, and they think they can enjoy life better this way. Life is no video game because once you die you won't be revived again.

There are talks about re-incarnation but there is no solid evidence that it's real. I do not know if some are familiar to what you are talking there on your other sentence but sorry I'm not. Maybe there is already a film about it? If there isn't any, maybe you can recommend it some film makers, or try to make your own. It is scary if you over think it. So my advice is just be calm. They can only be imaginary.

Humanity is returning back to monke. Perhaps. Eventually every empire falls. So why should humanity last forever?

The world is always changing. And nobody likes change. That is just human nature as dictated by evolution. Although if you think about it seriously, evolution does not care about creating a smarter life-form. Our human intelligence was nothing more than an accident. So as far as our brains go, who knows? We might be evolving into a completely unproductive direction.

[Kriptogram14]

In fact, the condition of the age is very bad because people are distracted.  People are so lazy now they want to sit and gossip all the time.Due to this, their personal loss is caused as well as social damage. People are losing the power to innovate.They are actually very disappointing.The desire and ability to work hard to discover something new in the past is no longer present in the people.  Managing life is very difficult.Anyone who compares it to a game is nothing but silly.A day gone from life means that day can never be regained.Time is very valuable in human life.

Yes, that's how it is nowadays, because of the impact of the economy, people find it difficult to get a job, employment opportunities are minimal, work experience is also lacking due to the small number of job opportunities, so people are now immersed in a period of unemployment and are used to hanging around in the village hall, gossiping without knowing, chatting without knowing. in which direction, so that it makes people lazy to move to do things that can make money, if they want to try whatever work they can do as long as they don't just be lazy, because our society is now enjoying a period of unemployment by spending an unclear amount of time, the days keep going forward, no You can get back the time that was wasted in vain.

You're contradicts your point.

It means there are many jobs, but people are just lazy, so the problem is on them, not the government nor companies. After that's their choice, they always say YOLO (You Only Live Once) or work life balance, so if they find get rich isn't their goals, no one can force them to get a jobs.
