The development of intellect, associated knowledge and technological development doesn't seem to make much, if any difference to ongoing levels of general human stupidity.

My social interaction is mostly online. I studied human language a lot, so when I say something, people think its funny. I think people prefer comedy over anything else, because only few types of conversations give dopamine: comedy, support, complaining, stories, and compliments.
Humor is a highly valuable and powerful social skill, widely considered one of the most effective tools for building connections, managing conflict, and promoting overall well-being
. While some may argue it's the single "best" skill, research suggests it is a crucial component within a broader set of essential social competencies.
The Bible survived the Jewish chaotic behaviour and is now embraced by over 2 billion followers by dictating implicit rules that guide appropriate behaviour.
Sure thing Batwoman.
Billions being led by a handful of dictators is appropriate behaviour, is it?
Maybe it is.
As I see it, that just brings us back to the necessity of material evolution, and the expendability of the individual.
Jewish chaos...Not sure that Jews are any less chaotic.
And "The Bible" is just an Anglicised version of older stuff, which will survive on billions of dusty shelves until such times when it get's recycled.
The Jews see genocide as a solution to every problem.
Well, that's a rather sweeping statement if ever I saw one.
Maybe, A.I. when it has fully matured, will see genocide as a solution to a problem.
Because let's face it, humans are the only ones that deliberately create problems.
A United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded in September 2025 that
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza against Palestinians, and top Israeli officials have incited these acts. This finding represents the position of that specific independent commission, though it does not yet constitute the official, collective stance of the entire United Nations body.
How were Jews associated with the past genocide?
Well, the official collective stance of the UN will probably depend upon Donald Trump.
And your question needs clarification.
That is an interesting perspective. The official collective stance of the United Nations is determined by its member states through consensus and voting processes within bodies like the Security Council and the General Assembly, where each member state casts its vote [1].
While a United States President's foreign policy can significantly influence global relations and the US vote within the UN, no single individual determines the entire organization's collective stance [1].
The UN's decisions result from complex international diplomacy and negotiations involving all 193 member countries, each with its own interests and votes [1].
Yes, that is how the UN is supposed to function.
But I'm not sure that the US has always played along.
Canada did not found the UN alone, but it was one of the
founding members of the organization. The UN was established by 50 countries after World War II, and Canada was among the original 51 signatories of the UN Charter on June 26, 1945.
Canada is BRILLIANT.
I must visit.
Canada is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of 56 independent countries, most of which have historical ties to the United Kingdom. Canada joined the British Commonwealth as an independent state in 1931 and has been an active participant since the modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949.
Fantastic.
When did Canada defeat the USA?
There were also naval battles on the Great Lakes. Major General Sir Isaac Brock and Chief Tecumseh. Together, British troops, First Nations, and Canadian volunteers defeated an American invasion in 1812-14.
Well, I don't suppose a person needs to be 'too intelligent to use some technology, cars, guns.
Nor do such technologies particularly 'grow a person's intelligence.
Computers, phones, and internet 'might though.
It gives people 'access to thoughts and ideas that can increase knowledge or how to order one's mind.
'Access isn't 'use though.
. . . There's also the idea one see's floated around sometimes, that various technological aids can make people less intelligent, if it does their thinking and problem solving 'for them.
Then they don't exercise their brain any.
. . .
How do we 'measure society and people's intelligence in a location over time?
School seems an easy way to keep track?
Everyone gets tested,
And we've had records and various levels of achievements to compare.
I'm not sure how long or extensive we've kept school records though.
You're back.
And I refer to human society, both as a whole and a whole society of individuals, where the propensity for doing sensible stuff whilst simultaneously doing daft stuff never seems to lessen in favour of sensibility.
So for example, Trump must be clever to be able to attain the position of President of the USA, whilst simultaneously he is also as daft as a brush.
Same with Putin, though not so much daft, but overwhelmingly selfish.
Can you imagine a World governed by people who were all simultaneous clever, sensible and friendly?...Would make a boring film.
Yep, men in boats with guns, divided and ruled, and divided and ruled some more.
Yes, Canada is a member of both NATO and the Commonwealth
. It was a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 1949 and has been an active member of the Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 56 countries, since 1931.
Canada isn't much different from London, minus the fog and plus snow. A babbling tower of competing cultures, each declaring their way of life to be intelligent and brilliant. All except Western cultures, which have collectively across the world decided to follow France's example in battle. Fromage feasting surrender simians.
Not sure that London is as foggy these days as might have been portrayed in old films.
Thing is "Western Cultures" are mongrel cultures, and have been for thousands of years.
Perhaps you are thinking before mass colonial influxes of more exotic looking creatures during the latter half of the 20th century.
A lot more Bears in Canada though.
And Moose.
Yeah, there aren't many of the "colony culture" left alive today, those people driven to build magnificent, exotic-looking things instead of tearing it all down with a frenzied mob using the mantra: PROGRESS!!!! I'd say most of the UK and Canada are shaking off their Roman heritage and reverting to their Viking raider roots, importing raiders from many cultures around the globe to share in the fun.
mongrel cultures,
And Mongol-type cultures, raiding instead of building.
A lot more Bears in Canada though.
And Moose.
Sure, they know to keep their distance from raiders. Mostly. A lot more reasonable than humans are.
I think that the UK is still to a large extent overseen and controlled by old style Anglo-European monarchic types.
But not so Canada.
Curiously, King Charles declared Canada to be "unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people."
So the raiders have already returned to reclaim the spoils.
Canada is approximately 41 times larger than the United Kingdom by total area.
To put the size difference into perspective:
Canada is BRILLIANT.
I must visit.
Just don't go in winter.
FYI - winter is from September to May.
Sound advice.
I'm not a fan of snow.
Big place then.
