He really didn’t give any evidence to support his claims. Supposition mostly. I do admit this, dumber individuals are better able to survive in the world today simply because the rest of society will provide for them. So we have more stupid than in previous historical periods.

We now protect them, subsidize them and encourage breeding.

This calim is demonstrably false. The increasing organization of society and specialization of labor has placed a premium on intelligence.
We have a good idea of the levels of intelligence of the general populace in many areas and times and subsistence hunting does not breed intelligence beyond a certain point.

I wonder who is the bigger fool? This 'researcher' who spent who knows how much on this 'study' which only confirms the Law of Entropy,or the 'beaureaucrat' which gave him the grant to do it with?

The world is becoming more socialist by the day. A massive drop in I.Q whould be expected.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. It's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
