It's too bad the stupid breed more than smart people like us. Eventually everyone will be dumb. Oh that's a temporary problem. The stupid people are likely to be financially limited in the amount of high-quality children they can produce. True, in the short term they may have more kids. But, as we speak there are a few people with the intellectual gifts to make a great deal of money. Combined with the genetic propensity to produce many many children. It's a slow process, of course, but now that society directly reward some forms of genius, it's only a matter of time before we are overrun by hyper-fecund mega-nerds. See, I can make up theories of the genetic future too. You're ruining my cynicism party, Julia.
