are we returning to stone age?

[slapper]

I hear your alarm clearly. Chaos makes deterioration obvious, yet history shows that communities adapt and evolve. The concept that we're headed for dystopia ignores humanity's creativity and problem-solving

Personal finance advises investing in long-term assets including education, technology, and health. Our approach to social issues should diversify like your portfolio. Buddhism teaches us about impermanence and suffering, yet there's always hope for improvement

You worry about barbarism but ignore our greatest strength: our ability to learn, adapt, and care for each other. Though setbacks may occur, healthcare and knowledge are always evolving. We're on a route to understanding and empathy, not a cowboy's longevity. The difficulty is making sure our social investments reflect our ideals and long-term well-being, not external forces driving decivilization

our greatest strength: our ability to learn, adapt, and care for each other.

It took me 35 years, a caring wife and dozens of hard hits in life to get to that point.
We need to get past a hurdle, our own mind set. Which is trained on preservation.

For some people it comes easy and when I look around the youth of today have a harder fight ahead of them.

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.

America will also find it difficult to compete with big countries if it only moves alone, because big countries like the ones you mentioned also have their own advantages and strengths in several ways. So America also needs to look for other countries that are willing to cooperate with it if it still wants to establish its dominance in all global sectors in this world.

Because at this time America itself was also starting to be overwhelmed when they began to prioritize war issues more than their own economy globally. So America will not be able to do more things if it only moves alone in terms of breaking the dominance of several large countries that already have power in various sectors.

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.

I think when things generally get harder and the well-being of a good majority of the population is low, I would say people would tend to get more selfish, only looming out for themselves and their families. Public decorum would be a scarce trait as there would be anger and restlessness amongst the people. As things get worse, the humanity in people would gradually lessen and eventually become almost non existent.

There is always something you and I can do. And as for speaking out and supposedly being silenced, perhaps you aren’t being silenced and just maybe, you haven’t got an audience yet that would listen to what you’ve got to say.
As for our reducing lifespan, our choices in life which includes our habits and diet would play a crucial role in our health and general lifespan.

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

I am here to chipping a little about the unjust going on in our world today. Apparently some persons tends to obscure the values and lifespan of lives. The porosity of lives we lives today has become a norms and tolerance as the movie just as OP may call it. The miles at which some individuals spends their lives are worth lamenting to be risky and unhealthy. The level of criminalities, immoralities, poverty and the rest corruptions with the potnetials of cutting off lives are indeed horrible and scary at justifying their consequences. We are mortal to the World but yet some of us tends to feel like is duplicated or that they/we are immortals to the world.
Yet the government plays adamants to it even at the virtue that they are the ones with the capacities to fix the system up and not an individual just like me and the OP.
Yeah some persons would say those who are living astray lives choose to live so because lifestyle is a choice. I think just as the word of God may say that "My people perishes for the lack of knowledge". This is not different from these set of persons who folds their hands and casts blames on this misconduct individuals, instead of finding a solution to a problem they feels less concerned because the mayhem never knocked at their doorstep.
Deep down indeed the governments are benefitial to this nuisances disturbing the fairness in the World we lives today just for their own self interests.

What would be just for you?
That the people with millions part with them to give abundantly???

It is only logical that people start to think that way, it doesn't really put that much stress on the fact that we are dealing with a problem personally when we start looking at others. Imagine this, if your house is on fire, and also the next door building is on fire, would you go put out the fire they have first, or would you put out the fire you have at your house first?

Everyone on the world would try to put out their own fire first, and this is exactly the same, we are all having financial trouble, BILLIONS in the world living in either poverty, or under average levels, only a few people live without worry of money, and only a few million are rich, in a world of 8 billion people having 5 billion poor or near poor, with 2+ billion living on average, and only a few million rich, you can't expect people to help each other out.

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?

There's nothing new to any of the things you've said, it has existed for a long time but just appeared in different forms. In the current super connected world we do share information faster and it can bombard you if you are not careful, endless scrolling through tiktok or youtube can change the gratification level that your mind seeks out. However in general we are still progressing, if only we can keep our "leaders" in check - because that seems to be where quality is in the decline, stuck with decrepit old men who are either senile or crazy, or billionaires who have a warped moral compass. On your last point, men have been fighting others in order to impress women since the beginning of time and will do so for a long time to come.

This will not happen with the rules and laws that the state has made for themselves to guide and lead them in their activities as individual countries and as global entity like we have different organizations that creates higher rules that check against human degrading treatment and inhuman acts. Like the UN universal human right declaration by the general assembly. This document ensures that their is dignity to life etc. There are other charters and agreements in other organisations by member countries to ensure human rights etc. So as a country and globally, human lives will not go back to the savagery, nasty, short, brutish as Thomas Hobbes described in his book state of nature.

Life expectancy has increased substantially throughout the world over the past few decades.
The average person born in 1960 (from this year the UN began collecting data on the entire planet) could reach the age of 52.5 years. Today, the average life expectancy is 72 years.
But the maximum human lifespan has not changed much - if at all. Life expectancy is increasing as more and more people live to old age. Medical capabilities are growing, but services in the field of increasing life expectancy are very expensive, so they are available only to the elite.
Scientists say that thanks to the development of science and medicine, people will soon be able to live to be 120 years old. But this is the limit, since the human body is programmed in such a way that with age, mechanisms are activated that lead to its death.

Everything in the world has a life cycle. The life cycle starts from the birth of something to its development i.e. growth at an increasing rate to the youth of the thing and then to its dissolution through gradual decay. Similarly, this world also has a life cycle.
In the Stone Age, there was no discipline, the strong were ruled, they had no clothing, and they made clothing from the skins of animals or birds. Coming to the modern age, now the strong people want to take rights from the weak in the name of modernity. Again by cutting trees and making big buildings, they are looking for closeness to nature. Don't these things prove that people want to go back to the stone age again?
