What Do Parenting, Schooling, Democracy, and Marriage Have In Common?

…they’re all complex systems that worked in the past but are now failing. This is true because they rely on an advanced, educated population to sustain them. We don’t have one of those anymore.
We have teachers sleeping with students, parents abandoning children in order to fornicate, and people watching reality TV instead of getting an education. Our society is failing, and it will continue to deteriorate because we are becoming mouthbreathers.
Healthy society is based on using logic and reason to create rules that benefit society. It requires that people participating in such a system place their own interests on hold in order to benefit someone else. It’s intellect vs. animal.
The animal is now winning. The society is crumbling. I have no idea what the outcome will look like, but I do know that it’s going to be ugly. The process is in motion.
