The ability to govern and the ability to manage a functioning society are seriously negatively impacted by just a few points in decline in average IQ. More time and energy are spent managing those who are less self-sufficient, and proportionately there are less folks with ideal aptitudes to do so. Societies often rise after "survival of the fittest" has left a geographical entity with resourceful and ambitious people.
What's happening can only be a deliberate attempt by the Invisible Hand to marginalize the huge percentage of global population that isn't them.

Interesting point. Maybe the world is in need of a huge culling.
