Bingo. IQ 65 versus IQ 100.

The idiocracy theory was just Mike Judge poking fun with (he is good at that) a phenomenon that is somewhat obvious to those who observe but not so easily explained.
Personally, I would refine it a bit. I used the word darwinism in the colloquial sense, but that’s what modern civilization is eliminating. Yes, I suppose you could argue that with big cities and zooming automobiles, we have our own pitfalls, but sheltered and coddled modern people have no clue what having a bad day used to really mean to human beings.

Proof of that among the democrat voters here in the USA.

"Half the people in this old world of ours have lower IQ levels.

Government schools intentionally dumbing them down. Only dumb people would willingly submit to socialism.

“Even children born to high-IQ parents are slipping down the IQ ladder.
That’s gonna be a tough argument to sell to my kids. They’d be more amenable to the immigration/welfare argument.

Muhammad married his first cousin once removed. The Dawah says all Muslims should emulate his life.
Interbreeding has a direct correlation with intelligence.

Yup, inbreeding in Muslims is my guess.

Obviously.
Just look at who are elected to Congress.
To: Responsibility2nd
Correct.
A mean is meaningless (get it?) when you have a bi- or multi-modal distribution.
What is going on is the USA is importing morons.
Your average white guy still has a 100 IQ.

Since Garrison Keilor went all Joe Biden-ey, the children at Lake Woebegone are all below average.

I’d argue their voters are stupider.
To: Night Hides Not
Yes.
That’s where I was going with this thread from post 1.
Muslims. The article lists Norway as an example of declining IQ’s. And what cultural and social phenomenon is ongoing in Norway and other developed nations?
Mass importations of muzzies.
Duh! Is it any wonder that IQ levels are dropping?

Some of that is simple reversion to the mean.
And some of that is cross-breeding with morons.

Actually, that is what I meant. People are too stupid to make intelligent judgements and so they vote for other idiots.
