Why is everything going backwards? Humanity seems to be devolving on every front.

Agent Smith: Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization. - The Matrix

Christianity moved across the world like a wave. People are not perfect, and bad things came with and behind it.

Europe is post-Christian (Socialism replaces God with government, it is patient Communism). The US is pretty much there, thanks to the media and education system being corrupted.

The is a false god of this world uniting Islam for the theists and statism for the atheists. The doomed plan is to stop the Kingdom of the One True Living God.

What is going backwards are battles the Enemy is winning.

Jesus Christ has already won the war.

Why is everything going backwards? Humanity seems to be devolving on every front.

I was thinking this same thing yesterday, although for much more mundane reasons.

I was driving around and it occurred to me that it was like our society is headed back to the Middle Ages, as if we are entering at least the Age of Monty Python.

Believe it or not, what got me musing on that was seeing store sign after store sign with misspelled words and grammatical mistakes. Seems dumb, but it isn't. When a business can't post a billboard without sounding like an uneducated, literally illiterate, beer-brained adolescent, we're going backwards.

For example, there was a time, not that long ago, when there was not a standard spelling for most words. People just wrote phonetically and everybody else had to figure it out. Even by this scale, we're going backwards.
