A few things.
Most of those guys were just dumb. It's not a matter of their old ways, or anything. It's that recent history, especially with government handouts, has removed the incentive to select for intelligence in mates. Same thing happened to American blacks, starting in the late 60s. Intelligence can change a lot, in just a few generations, either direction. It's not a primary thing that either sex selects for.
People that haven't had thousands of years of agriculture in their blood don't handle alcohol well, and it's genetic (not denying spiritual problems potentially resulting from it, mind you). Tribes that mainly hunted are likely to be bad drunks, and more likely than others to become alcoholic. A couple thousanpd miles away, there were Indians cultivating grain and corn, and enjoying their booze, with no major problems, before the white man.
Indian Indians - not sure about Filipinos - are new to the processed food game. They are succumbing to it more and more in India, but it seems less so outside of India. The big problems they're facing even without the junk food are glyphosate and bad oils. Traditionally pressed oils, and modern expelled, solvent-extracted, then deodorized (to remove the smell of rancidity), oils, are not the same thing - much better to spend more on ghee and minimally processed coconut oil. Small beans, like lentils, often have a lot of glyphosate used on them, sometimes including to dry them justbefore harvest. The harmful reach of Big Ag is coming for them, too.
Except that's not the case. You wouldn't want to try to perform long-distance navigation with a 600 year old star chart. Where the stars are in the sky, at the same relative point in a year, has been changing, over time.
Only if the [men] with the POWER can't keep it under control.
They've been pretty good at that, lately, sad to say.
The fruit if the loom logo lost the cornucopia. That was a trendy thing for a few decades. No Mandela Effect - big corporate just don't care about history, when they need to focus on next quarter's profit.
We are the Champions had several versions, before the remasters. One or more included a longer ending, rather than trying to make it fit a radio friendly 3 minutes, with sections to fade and talk over. The original single, for that reason, did not have the, "of the world," ending. The album version in the US was different, but also ended in just, "champions." If you hunt the high seas for vinyl or cassette rips of their Greatest Hits, you'll probably find a country's version that is that way, as such a thing did exist, and many a FM station had that cut. Now, why they didn't include both, nobody knows for sure, as that's a common thing done, with bonus tracks. It's likely that nobody alive knows where that particular master is, though. You aren't misremembering that you heard it that way on the radio for many years.
Old music recordings are a total clusterfuck, with lots having gotten lost or destroyed, amongst all the mergers over the years, fires, and dumbasses being dumbasses. he big wings in the companies are neither musicians, music lovers, nor archivists, generally. There's no rewrite of history, just poor logistics, occasional negligence, and occasional stupidity. Some acts kept their own copies, and even as early restorations resulting in cooking tapes in the kitchen, you can bet they never regretted taking them and keeping up with them. We wouldn't have decent quality remasters of groups like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or Genesis, to name just a few big ones, if they had trusted the record companies to keep their works for the long haul.
Most of The Mandela Effect isn't history being rewritten, but us having lossy memories, and also thinking that keeping information around for long periods of time, with accuracy, is an easy task. That stuff is hard, even with modern technology. The people dealing Quaker Oats logos, FI, had more important things to do, at the time, in their minds, than keep detailed historical records of box labeling. They probably didn't even remember which region got which logo after a couple years.
I won't say there aren't some genuine oddities, but 90% if it or more is mundane, and not reality retconning anything.
It also ended it in failure. The Tet Offensive was successful AF, and if it had been reported fairly, we could have actually won the war, for the whole of Vietnam, possibly within mere weeks. But, it was spun differently, for the public.
Got a source for the afterlife bit? It would help explain things. The bureaucrats and high society types being almost universally obsessed with physical immortality is something that has bugged me for some time, now. If you could offer me good health and a couple centuries, I might go for it, sure. But, these people seem to want genuine immortality, and many are looking to self-enslavement technologies to do it.
GFCI outlets, though 😩
They are, but no more or less than you and I are. That could become interesting.
Bad timing, but graphene itself is fine. It can be made into all sorts of structures, and there's a lot of R&D that needs something to sell to pay it back. But, maybe try to stick to things that don't go in the body, at least for a few years, for the optics.
Sure they have been. They're as divided as the US. Some states, and whole regions, have leaders with common sense. Others, and their national government, not so much.
That's just going to get you into more trouble, for fraud. Tell them the truth: they have no legal right to that information. As if you're not already on government naughty lists...
That's all fine, if you had a time machine.
Yet they got their seat of power, still. Cost of doing business. It will only stop when the people involved face jail time.
Capitalism does not require growth at all, and will work fine in a shrinking economy. Fractional reserve banking, that uses a currency that is debt to be paid back to private bankers, requires that growth, to not fall apart. Capitalism is basically just taking the power to invest and use property from certain classes to anyone, with social contracts and legal frameworks supporting that (including the right to say no, which, FI, is violated by property taxes).
It's going to end, not for lack of growth, but because too many people are going to too stupid and/or poorly raised to handle basic day to day responsibilities on their own, and self-organize. The typical citizen being able to make informed decisions around their labor, money, and wealth, are implicitly necessary, along with being willing to sacrifice time/labor for the good of the whole.
