The West: signs of endtimes.

The Daily Mail takes time from bemoaning Brexit and tackles the state of robotics:

We have robot teachers. a real life R2D2, a robo dog, killer robots and robots that can bond to humans. A "fully functional" Mr Data is not far off.

A scientist predicts that AI robots will increase intelligence faster than humans. Actually he is not quite right. Humans are decreasing in intelligence. Look at the news item from Utah: a transgender woman (?) has been nominated as a Senate candidate from Utah. Her name? Misty Snow (Utah). Is this the sign of decreasing human IQ or inhaling cannabis smoke? I honestly do not know.

Then there is the Quinnipiac Poll

51 - 42 percent that Clinton would better respond to an international crisis; [really?]

46 percent would trust Clinton more on sending U.S. troops overseas, while 44 percent would trust Trump more;

54 - 35 percent would trust Clinton more to make the right decisions regarding nuclear weapons;

46 - 43 percent that Clinton would do a better job getting things done in Washington.

 

Does this sound to you as humans increasing their intelligence?
