"The logical conclusion to this trend was predicted ages ago in the short story, "The Marching Morons""

The logical conclusion to this trend was predicted ages ago in the short story, "The Marching Morons"

"explains The Problem of Population: due to a combination of intelligent people prudently not having children and excessive breeding by lesser intelligent people, the world is full of morons"
