Yeah, the overall dumbing-down of the species.
Perhaps an alien civilization existed out there somewhere and annihilated themselves.
I remember in the movie 'Contact' - the scientists were all asked what question they'd ask the extraterrestrials...and one said, "I'd ask how they managed to avoid self-destructing themselves."
Always thought that was rather poignant.
