As a side note, the IQ projection charts suggest no major decline yet, but also that the number of very smart working age people will approach nearly zero by 2100?… in other words, it predicts that we should begin to see a major cultural decline driven by that?
I think the increased pace of anime has more to do with TV anime becoming almost exclusively 1-cour (11-13 episodes long) rather than 2-cour (22-26 episodes) as used to be the norm, than it has to do with streaming.
"People also rarely finish the books they read, which can be inferred from the fact people tend to be much more likely to quote passages from the beginning of a book."
Authors are often told to put the most important things they have to say at the beginning! So the beginning might end up being much more quotable.
Super interesting.

Yes, though I don't think the decline will be as bad as the one observed, as fertility among the lower classes is plumetting.
