No.

We're just being dragged down by fucking idiots.

So would that mean humans are splitting into two intelligence groups?

@canusernamebemyusername Absolutely... I like to think of them as Eloi and Morlocks, lol

no, we have people who have easy access to information but they were never taught to think critically, which the future generations i think will do a better job of

@Zaxel I hope so.

Well there is no longer any sort selective pressure to increase it - the age of agriculture made being smart optional. It is not surprising that our hunter gatherer ancestors had larger brains.

There will soon come a day when a machine will wear out somewhere and no one will know how to fix it. The fight to make things cheaper. Lack of materials. The lack of discipline to record information. The lack of interest in science. All combined are destined to doom us back at least twelve thousand years. We won't even have wild foods or know which rocks to use.

Our intelligence is fine. We need to work on wisdom.

@Nika2002 intelligence says a tomatoe is a fruit, wisdom says you don't put it in a fruit salad
