< It may seem I'm being deliberately provocative but how else can it be accounted for that IQ in the Western world is rising? Don't assume that evolutionary processes necessarily take a long time, especially in the case of humans and mental capacity.... > Eugenics. But not run by governments. Women have been in the eugenics business for a very long time. In the more chimpoid times, alpha males sired hordes of descendants by being simply the toughest ape on the block. The women went for the alpha male. They still do but they are bit more circumspect these days as the alpha male doesn't make such a great father and doesn't stick around to help them in their day to day lives. So they make do with second best or millionth best.

But they won't go to the bottom of the barrel. They want to marry up and won't rate some homeless tramp high enough for reproductive purposes.

So every generation, the bottom 10% of males [your mileage may vary] is left on the scrap heap of history, their DNA washed out of the gene pool.

That's a high speed process. Maybe it's 20% these days as so few marriages are made which lead to 3 children. Like compounding interest, even 1% would be significant. We're talking Meccabarbrastreisand eugenics here.

There's also nutrition which is better than that of 100 years ago despite the carbohydrate aisles in your local supermarket. At least those aisles contain anti-oxidants such as PABA para amino benzoic acid and other good stuff.

There's also a LOT less poison such as lead and mercury which destroys brain development in children. Blood lead levels have dropped enormously. Brains work a lot better when not poisoned.

When women can tick the boxes in genetic engineering

No cystic fibrosis
No haemochromatosis
No sickle cell anaemia
No stomach cancer gene
Fix the genes which cause gross anomalies
No eye defects
Clip on that hot stuff Ashkenazi brain function

They will opt for their little darlings to avoid the special needs classes. I would love to have been able to study in minutes rather than hours or even make it up as I go in examinations. Slogging for hours and days to learn abstruse mathematics is a bit of a pain. High intelligence would make life so much easier.

It has made life so much easier. Billions of people can buy Microsoft stuff, click on Google, buy a Qualcomm powered Cyberphone, catch a cheap autonomous electric taxi recharged with Halo and 7SSS [seven second swap stop]. They can't actually do that last one yet, but they soon will be able to do so. Traffic jams will be history, streets will be clear of cars parked everywhere. People won't bother owning a car in cities. They won't be allowed to drive cars - drunk chimps in charge of a ton of steel flying towards me at 100 kph with only a white line of paint on the road to keep them away from me is undesirable.
