The civilization softens further as the Age of Affluence transitions into an Age of Intellect. Wealth is now available in such abundance that it far exceeds what is necessary “to supply the mere necessities, or even the luxuries of life,” so excess funds are poured into advanced education and the pursuit of knowledge. This produces “surprising advances in natural science” and also in many other fields. But, says Glubb, the shadow side of this flourishing intellectual climate is such a luxuriance of “discussion, debate, and argument” that “public affairs drift from bad to worse, amid an unceasing cacophony of argument” that vitiates “the power of action.”

In addition, except at the cutting edge, the quantitative increase in intellectual output tends to bring about a decline in quality. (As Gibbon famously remarked about Rome’s Age of Intellect, “A crowd of critics, of compilers, of commentators, darkened the face of learning, and the decline of genius was soon followed by the corruption of taste.”) The excessively rational approach to life characteristic of the Age of Intellect also fosters “the unconscious growth of the idea that the human brain can solve the problems of the world.”
