Sometimes i wonder how far western anti intellectualism will go. They have deindustrialized already. So will they just keep going until they are mostly illiterate and non-technological too?
Return to a mixed-model capitalist-feudal system and read Mao to the ~~rednecks~~ American peasants
Mostly illiterate is practically true already for the U.S. with most adults reading skills worse than those of sixth graders.
So much is psychological. Generations told how special they are and that they would change the world. The esoteric became low hanging fruit.
it's just an indoeuropean thing
europe is almost the exact same thing as north india, except it lucked out by having half its population die and finding a planet of free resources in 1492. Subtract that and it's the same as north india, the same fracturing, the same recipient of invasion due to inequal distribution, etc.
If you want to know "how low the west will go" the answer is Bihar and Uttar Pradesh
