The evidence suggesting that society is deteriorating and we have less thinking and more following going on just isn't there. Its completely the opposite. More people are developing technologies in small groups, thanks to the democratization of resources like powerful hardware. No more is creativity to create and progress limited to Universities and Government. We have more time to spend with each other than salving away in repetitive and soul sucking jobs and religious dogma is manipulating less and less people. Explain to me how things are getting worse and worse please?
