I read most of it, I know how he feels, but the effort to make it funny keeps it sad. in fact I feel more stupid after reading it.
I wish there was something positive to add to it. there is alas no clear remedial call to action in the face of narcissism and egalitarian stupidity.
Pointing out a good direction would be smart.

Apparently it is a real thing https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=decline+in+IQ
As a young adult I had to work hard to realize and appreciate that many of us are differently intelligent. I was very elitist. I grieved that what I was noticing was invisible to nearly everyone. Then I started to catch on that people each had something different going on.
I really learned to appreciate others - but the backlash in the rise of fascism, terrorism, school shootings, anti-vaxism, etc. makes me want to find a nice hole and crawl inside.
