IQs in western countries have been falling as a result of immigration and the dysgenic effect of modern medicine, among other factors. Meanwhile the IQ required for employment has been rising, creating an underclass which is unable to secure employment. As the size of this underclass grows something has to give, a phase-change in the fabric of society, so to speak. The elites have foreseen this over a century ago and they have a plan for you and me. For most of recorded history serfdom was the way of life for the vast majority of the population. The serf did not own the land he worked and was perpetually at the mercy of a feudal lord. They want to bring back the system where the 1 percent enslaves the 99 percent. And as the past year and a half has shown the would be serfs want to be enslaved. They want to live in a pod, eat bugs, and have chemicals pumped into their bodies like the livestock that they are. And finally the elites have the technology to make it happen. Here's my question. Livestock is raised to provide a benefit to the farmer. Checkens are raised for eggs and cows for meat and milk. What benefit would human livestock offer to the elites? Why would they keep them at all? What could they possible have to offer the elites that they can't get through automation and AI?
