People are rewarded for being average and mediocre these days and so they'll be both of those things more often, a little more each time...it's a race to the bottom.

This you comment is very much related to your post about Albert Jacka (at least I see it that way). That I may not read the book doesn't mean that I don't understand the message of the post, which goes beyond the book. And to tell the truth, I don't find it very appetizing to participate in this race towards absolute mediocrity.
Exactly. The post was about more than the book or the individual.
Our world is in deep trouble, our society and humanity itself and so few seem to care. The decline is rapid.
He could not agree more. What amazes me is the speed of this fall, and about the awareness of what is happening, since 2020 nothing amazes me anymore. Humanity has decided not to think, a few out of greed and the rest, I suppose, out of convenience.
Yeah, it's accelerated so quickly, it's like we got to a point, maybe the late 80's, and it's just multiplied exponentially from there.
It is possible that in the late 80's is when the acceleration of this decline began. From Spain, it is difficult to put a date, since the 80's and I would say the early 90's, after 40 years of dictatorship, still gave the impression that everything was going well, or that many things were working. At the end of the 90's my opinion is that it was already clear that society was getting worse.
