The value of loyalty and moral behavior are infinitely more complex and difficult to calculate than the value or immoral behavior. Stupid people will always find it easier to be shitty.
Yes
Now think of the medieval era, the antiquity, think of what it generally meant to be born intelligent, but weak physically, in a peasant class for instance... Life wasn't easier, quite the opposite
And if you take the modern lifestyle and its comfort for granted, if you believe that we'll never go back to more barbarous ways... You're in for a rude awakening
We will never lose all the knowledge we have. I can produce clean drinking water. I can build a combustion engine given enough time. I can build a multi story building. Africans still cant do that shit on average. I understand the physics underlying flight and could build a glider. I could build a gun. I could build a drill and saw to build a more precise drill and saw to be able to start machining things with accuracy. A group of people like me will, given time, ALWAYS dominate a group of stupid people. In a bad moment, caught alone, perhaps not. But thats just one little outlier.
You're delusional
Without your toys you're fucked to begin with, so spare me your McGuyver delusions
