Maybe this was the last cognitive high point for humans in the 90s, like they've talked about on /pol/. We were given the ability to learn things from all over the world as the Internet connected all locations and placed their information available online. We also had games which sharpened our reflexes and free created stories of other worlds, allowing for thinking about something completely different from the political reality around us.

Boomers learned how to do mechanical technology and how to maintain social connections. But they then ruined their society by not sharing their gains with anyone.

We got all the information and the ability to think.

Now the Internet is no longer a distant place which connects us with new information. It's the same political retardation that was out there all along, and the same economy, made digital.

Two years ago I took a course in web publishing, and it feels now like that was the last chance at getting any look into publishing at all, with what that means for writing style. Most of this work is already taken over by AI now, and there isn't even anyone writing any real texts either because they're all soulless NPCs.

The teacher at that course was a zombie back then already, but at least the course material was the same as before.

With no environment for it, it won't be possible to learn and improve in anything. We'll probably have to start hiding away in monasteries again to create some kind of higher intellectual forum which isn't polluted by pure IQ 61 retardation.
