The modern West is in decline, economic stagnation, rising tax burdens, moral disorientation, political corruption, bloated bureaucracies, and soaring levels of poverty, drug addiction and homelessness, all point to a faltering civilization.

While many agree that the West is declining, explanations as to why vary.

Some blame the collapse of religion and the loss of a shared moral

order. Others, the rise of consumerism and hedonism, or the dumbing down effects of modern technology.

Still others point to mass immigration, the rise of socialist ideologies, or the corrosive influence of the mainstream media.

Yet these explanations may be masking a deeper, more fundamental cause, the biological deterioration of Western men and women.

Or as the medical doctor Peter Neiman writes,

Many books have been written about the decline of the West, some brilliant.

Unfortunately, however, they do not focus on the biological dimension and so miss the point.

The decline even collapse of the United States and the Western countries as a whole is directly,

causally connected to changes in biology.

In this video, we draw from Neiman's book from Apex to Abyss, the biological roots of the West's decline in what can be done to reverse it,

to explore how widespread biological changes are driving the West's fall from grace.

For all our technological and cultural sophistication, we are biological animals, and the body is the foundation of the human world.

Every thought we form, every value we hold, every invention we produce is influenced by our biology.

Politics may flow downstream from culture, but both culture and politics flow downstream from biology.

If the biological condition of a people deteriorates,

if they become physically weaker, more obese, less intelligent, or if their hormonal balance

is disrupted, the state of culture and politics deteriorates as well. Or as Neiman puts it,

it should be obvious how changing just a few things in a person's body can make people think,

act and live completely differently.

What would happen to societies if they were to experience these effects among most or even all of their citizens?
