Humanity is still coming out of its infancy. Modern science and medicine are only around 300 years old, human flight around a hundred while homo sapiens are hundreds of thousands of years old. A large number of people still have no homes, food scarcity, poor education to the point of illiteracy and the literate read at a average 5th grade level. The old traditions and norms are still trying to claw back at progress. We only live for a short lifespan that means the species has to maintain knowledge across generations or keep relearning the same lessons over and over again and often hurts itself in confusion. The world isn’t getting dumber, but it’s not finding any grip or purchase when trying to drag itself out of the pit of the natural world.

And the changes to extend voting hours in multiple states and accept more mail in ballots aren’t a problem either.
“Not my circus, not my monkeys” is another pretty common one I’ve heard
