I don't know about that. We're dumbing down our society to cater to the stupid. Stupid people blissfully glide through life, unaware of the shit they cause. If someone checks an idiot, they're branded as being hateful or intolerant.

Look at what happened to Yomama69, for example.

People are not getting stupider. Look into the Flynn effect on intelligence quotient. The long and short of it is, though 100 IQ is average by definition, scoring a 100 IQ in 2011 is higher than scoring a 100 IQ in 1980.

Quote:
IQ tests are updated periodically. For example, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), originally developed in 1949, was updated in 1974 and 1991. The revised versions are standardized to 100 using new standardization samples. In ordinary use IQ tests are scored with respect to those standardization samples. The only way to compare the difficulty of two versions of a test is to conduct a separate study in which the same subjects take both versions. Doing so confirms IQ gains over time. The average rate of increase seems to be about three IQ points per decade in the US on tests such as the WISC. The increasing raw scores appear on every major test, in every age range and in every modern industrialized country although not necessarily at the same rate as in the US using the WISC. The increase has been continuous and roughly linear from the earliest days of testing to the present.
