content: You have described the Achilles' heel of human civilization.  Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.  https://www.kek.gg/i/63Z4hh.jpg Civilization will never be stable until we figure out how to convert children into the same type of adults that build and run civilization.  r/K theory describes how the success of civilization will bring down civilization.  Ashkenazi Jews gain about an IQ point every generation because they have figured out how to raise their children so that they are programmed with the K (civilization producing) behavioral pattern despite that nature/evolution (no religious intervention) would program them with the r (civilization destroying) behavioral pattern.  We, as a species, will either have a great future by instilling the K type for everyone, or we will have a dystopian future ahead of us by not solving that problem worldwide.
