Sometimes, popular movies are popular because they contain an important fnord. I saw a bit on Robot Chicken parodying "Planet of the Apes", and I realized that movie contains an important fnord.
In "Planet of the Apes", the plot is that due to some type of scientific accident, apes evolved from humans. The presumption is that the apes are a lower form of life than humans. The humans in the movie have lost their ability to speak or think logically.
This is exactly what has happened in the present. Due to massive pro-State brainwashing, humans have actual intelligence far less than their natural intelligence.
In the present, most humans lack the ability to speak. Most humans can't have ideas that contradict their pro-State brainwashing. Most humans can't properly express their emotions. Humans have "negatively evolved" as badly as that movie/documentary indicates.
Humans have "messed up" their civilization as badly as the movie "Planet of the Apes" indicates. Due to massive pro-State brainwashing, most humans' actual intelligence is far lower than their natural intelligence.

I couldn't agree more.
I believe it's the capacity for critical thinking that has been lost.
Darwin wrote another book called The Descent of Man, in which he said that most humans have stopped evolving 'reached a dead end'. Some elite foundations like Carnige etc, took these views and developed a hierarchical social structure, where they could remain at the top and the rest could be managed and controlled.
Flaubert once said "Earth has its boundaries but human stupidity is limitless" and its true. We are born into a system were were continually and perpetually f*cked. Critical thinking and developing your perception are shunned. Its depressing when I think of how we are forced to go to secondary schools and colleges to be dumbed down even further and if we refuse, either way we're still f*cked.
