Yes, we are declining, not civilizationally, but in terms of global power. This is due in part to technology (energy, communications, infrastructure), but in large part is down to the "victory" of globalist capitalism in the '90s, which has helped to spread technologies and skills around the world in a way which evens out historical imbalances in information. So, life is mostly getting better, but the US is unlikely to be the world's bully in 100 years, the lingua franca may change, and eurocentrism will be challenged. My only concern in the matter is hoping that governments stay sane enough to avoid nuclear war long enough for humanity to become whole peacefully.
