While human beings continue to lose their intellectual capacities, ranging from concentration and reading to performing mental arithmetic, corruption gallops unchecked in the field of education and new technologies. These corrupt, Machiavellian, narcissistic, and psychopathic riders gallop along, waving the illusory banners of ethics, international law, gender equality, social progress, educational excellence, technological innovation, and so on. All of this serves to foster the decline of intellectual capacities, the fragmentation of human knowledge, and the increase of global authoritarianism through the digital and interactive audio-visual communication of podcasts, for instance.

Today, natural and acquired skills, amplified by the press, radio, cinema, television, multimedia off-line and online, belong to past generations –Baby boomers, X, and Y–, especially reading and writing. The new global alienating and destructive objective is oral communication, through digital audio and, more specifically, podcasts. Generating abbreviated and confused educational content through podcasting has not only reduced teachers' workload in taking notes and preparing lessons, but has also exerted a powerful manipulative or brainwashing influence on students, both inside and outside the classroom, by transmitting subliminal messages, delusional ideas of power, delirious rambles, and so forth.

The scientific advances applied to the well-being of the community, achieved through the application of social, secular, and progressive models throughout the last century, are being demolished by the endemic corruption of officials in countless dictatorial university ecosystems. This is the rise of neo-authoritarianism and international disorder, perfectly disguised as democracy. The precipitous decline in the quality of software education for future professionals in new technologies is reflected in their inability to independently perform a diverse set of fundamental tasks.

These are routine tasks that remain essential, for example, in the industrial, commercial, business, educational, research and development, and knowledge transfer sectors, across various segments of local and global society. This denotes the regression of humankind and the autonomous inability to face the new challenges opening up to millions of users within the broad horizon of technological and computer evolution. In this regard, five examples can be cited: artificial intelligence, biotechnology, robotics, quantum computing, and nanotechnology. More ...
