Challenging the modern narrative of societal progression, Popehead argues that humanity is in a state of extreme physiological and spiritual degeneration. He cites the organic simplification of languages—moving from complex declensions in Greek and Latin to simpler modern forms—as evidence that we are declining from a more "God-like" state.
