Would you be surprised to hear that the human race is slowly becoming dumber, and dumber? Despite our advancements over the last tens or even hundreds of years, some ‘experts’ believe that humans are losing cognitive capabilities and becoming more emotionally unstable. One Stanford University researcher and geneticist, Dr. Gerald Crabtree, believes that our intellectual decline as a race has much to do with adverse genetic mutations. But there is more to it than that.

It’s a great movie. It helps me to laugh at our sad future.
I agree with you. The source of this “knowledge” seemed to be highly questionable, just a libbie blog. Junk science to a T.

Because. Um. It has electrolytes!

I’m thinking of going to Starbucks for a “full Latte”.
LOL! So Am I!
Over the past 75 years in America, and perhaps even longer in other lands, we have been subsidizing the reproduction of the least cerebral, while taxing the more intelligent to a point where they have far fewer children. We have also, since 1965, encouraged the immigration of a less skilled, less cerebral segment of the outside world, than we drew earlier.
Thus there has been a measured fall in school achievement levels, since the early 1900s. Thus there has also been a considerable "dumbing down" in our observed levels of political discourse. Contrast the Phd. thesis level of public political addresses in the 1840s, with the moronic 30 second sound-bite today. The public with little formal education, followed the oratory of Webster, Clay & Calhoun; while college graduates today, chant in unison, like Nazi robots at the slogans of an Obama!
The reporter's commentary that follows the common sense--so far as it goes--quotes from the geneticist, in the balance of the featured article, is itself an indication of the dumbing down of contemporary "analysis."

You just described the major premise of the movie Idiocracy.
Rent it. Watch it.
It will all be clear.
BTW, I compare “Bwando” to “Global warming”.
Lol. That clip is absolutely true.
It’s obvious that the left side of the Bell Curve is breeding like rats. The long term results can’t be good.
Natural selection has been suspended, stupidity no longer has harsh consequences.
Actually, that clip makes the supposedly intelligent, seem not that intelligent.

The next time I travel south I’m going to try their famous “Big *ss” fries.
Now with more MOLECULES!
I don’t see no plants growing out of no toilet.
The average Athenian citizen from 1000 B.C. would be a malnourished shrimp with a malnourished brain in comparison to the average American of 2013 A.D..
As to what the prevaling culture encouraged the citizen to DO with that strength, size, and intelligence; other than encouraging rampant pedophilia and male homosexuality - Athenian culture had a lot going for it as far as encouraging intellectual endeavors.
I don’t see no plants growing out of no toilet.
That’s because toilets don’t use Bwando. Duh!
