This is no direct link with NPA theory but I recently heard about the "Woodley effect" (https://www.unz.com/jthompson/the-woodley-effect/ ) which speculate that because many reasons (one being the "idiocracy effect"), high intelligence is dysgenic since the industrialization and therefore our world is slowly but surely becoming full of imbeciles. The frightening conclusion is that humanity may be less and less able to cope with new complex issues.
Maybe this could explain partly the growing glorification of showmanship over science (but it may also lead to a positive retroaction). Quite agree with your predictions (but deep down I tend to think that we're doomed).
