DUMBING-DOWN THE WORLD
Who is responsible for the dumbing-down of the world's population? Language is the medium of consensus and of discord. As cultures seek a meaningful world-view, volubility increases with the need for more words. Concepts become redundant and discarded; words are invented and reification changes reality. Modern science, religion – and contemporary education – are based on the presumption of Pluralism (not Realism or Materialism, as is commonly held). The primacy of a metaphysical perspective has all-but been abandoned. The vast body of academic scholarship over the last century was predicated on the catastrophic Oxford Model and is mostly meaningless and redundant. An incomprehensible waste of resources and lives supporting the crumbling edifice of Ivory Tower-based education. That culture, based on erroneous assumptions, must take responsibility for the World's stultified condition. The world-view of the vast majority is based on harm, through ignorance, lies and deception.
The Imperialist, colonialist, the rainaiscance, all brought changes to our values cultures and probably our norms. Science was took over by the rainaiscance, it was then belonging to the sufist, or the Islamic scientist, civilisation was first brought by the Islamic civilisation. However war broke out and the books were thrown in the waters and remaining were taken by the Renaissance they did extended the knowledge from the original and took it as their own work.

Granted, Islamic civilization made many important contributions of its own, but it also preserved and transmitted the previous contributions of other civilizations.

Yes it's all inclusive, Islamic civilization addressed everything including being moderate, it says, in the Coran that " There is no compulsion in the Deen (religion) " in The verse that states "there is no compulsion in religion" is verse 256 of the second surah of the Quran, Al-Baqara
The initial question: 'Who is responsible for the dumbing-down of the world's population?' Surely, any possible answer must firstly recognize misplaced values as a consequence of human greed served under every available banner. as a force for its perpetual push behind that which can be exploited.

This is an old gripe, the lament of every generation. The world has always been dumb.
Ms Huang, yes what ever is the realty of things, would remain true , the research findings are not easy to trigger doubt in terms of accuracy, if a research findings happens to indicate doubt, then the result would not be relevant to the reality and this may result in the defects- of the worlds-(population, etc), and can be because of the method used in research from the academic system. Also based on the expansion in the cultural systems, this expansion in the cultural industries or systems can emanate from greed, contemporary society , new life styles, new novel behaviors, ignorance, abandoning of facts, I believe, too that this could caused defects as well.
