Weakening selection pressures and Malthusianism:
We will enter a period of accelerated Malthusianism: Picture exponential population growth plotted against linear resources. Now picture the exponential population reverted to the mean.
Part of this will be because of dysgenics. The industrial revolution created modern technology and modern medicine, it changed social structures and created globalization, which collectively contributed to a weakening of selection pressures. This meant that those who are low iq and are physically unhealthy, lacking capacity for delayed gratification and therein predisposed to a lifestyle premised on living fast and having lots of sex/engaging in hedonism, would have otherwise died under harsh selection pressures. Instead, such dysgenic populations have been afforded a social safety net, in the form of modern political, economic and medical intervention, afforded to by excess production, post-industrial revolution. This dysgenic population has for over 100 year bred at a rate far beyond those who preference resource accumulation and delayed breeding (populations that typically possess a higher iq and health, which are correlated, and who, pre-industrial revolution, were the population who bred the most, as it was their high iq and health that enabled them to cope well with harsh pre-industrial selection pressures, compared to low iq/sick people who died at higher rates).
Scientific evidence of dysgenics:
Notwithstanding cyclical nature of fertility, there is evidence of dysgenics.
There is an evidenced of a lowering of IQ in native populations like northern European countries, even when adjusted for the influence of immigrant populations:
Lynn (1996) Dysgenics: Genetic Deterioration in Modern Populations
Dutton, Linden, Lynn (2016) The negative Flynn effect: A systematic literature review.
These authors, in their further publications, have also noted a decrease in color discrimination ability and verbal expression.
Reaction times are decreasing:
GWAS or genome wide association studies evidence frequencies of genes associated with intelligencem decreasing generationally among native populations:
What does this mean?
If the iq of western countries continues to decline at current rates, the average western iq will be ~80, meaning society will be incapable of coming up with novel scientific or industrial ideas, meaning society won't progress, less alone even maintain current infrastructure.
I suspect that the elites' agenda 2030 campaign (sacrificing individual liberties to justify increasingly authoritarian measures), aims to lessen the blow from the incoming Malthusian decline, by limiting consumption, travel and social mobility, while ensuring those that are in power now, continue to be in power as society declines as dysgenics and civil unrest increases. Their perspective is that such social restrictions (social credit score, carbon footprint, digital ID) will act as social insulation, against humanities genetic and eventual social, political and economic suicide.

Similarly, the movement towards CRSPR technology, albeit in its infancy, and polygenic risk scoring (selecting against diseases currently and eventually for "questionable" traits like intelligence etc), are further measures to counter dysgenics.

Finally, the elites obsession with transhumanism (From Elon musk's neuralink to increasing scientific interest in nanolipid and graphene technology touted for its wide ranging application such as novel application for medical delivery) may also be an attempt to reverse dysgenics. The US government with the following two documents remarks on the widespread application of nano tech and human use.

What is CRISPR?
CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world.
Polygenic Risk Scores
A polygenic risk score is one way by which people can learn what their risk of developing a disease is, based on the total number of genomics variants related to the disease.
Finally, the elites obsession with transhumanism (From Elon musk's neuralink to increasing scientific interest in nanolipid and graphene technology touted for its wide ranging application such as novel application for medical delivery) may also be an attempt to reverse dysgenics.
