"Correct me, please, if I'm wrong: You imply that the less intelligent are weeded out, resulting in a higher pool of more intelligent people who survive."

This is what Maurice is saying - he thinks the average intelligence is increasing. I'm arguing against him. I'm saying that although there always used to be selection pressure for intelligence (more intelligent people produced more offspring that survived) this is no longer the case. To be more precise, I'm saying that this isn't the case in the countries where infant mortality is no longer significant. This includes NZ, Europe, USA, etc. I'm not sure about Latin America (you might be able to comment), India, Middle East. Maybe in Africa there is still selection pressure for intelligence.
