Are people getting dumber or are we just hearing about them more often?

Mostly the latter, but also, if the percentage of dumb remains the same while the population increases, the gross incidence of dumb also increases.

Perhaps its because of more of the latter (’social’ media, etc.) that we are seeing more of the former... (’Wait ‘til everyone sees me on the inter web!’)

Hearing about it more often. 30 years ago you would have not had a chance to hear about or see this.

In a way we are getting dumber because safety regulations and excellent health care allow many of them to survive their most egregious feats of stupidity and live on to pass their stupid genes on the more generations.

Idiocracy wasn’t fiction. It was prophesy.
