Well, this would explain a lot -
Are humans becoming less intelligent? It could very well be
Humans may be gradually losing intelligence, according to a new study.
The study, published Monday in the journal Trends in Genetics, argues that humans lost the evolutionary pressure to be smart once we started living in dense agricultural settlements several thousand years ago.
"The development of our intellectual abilities and the optimization of thousands of intelligence genes probably occurred in relatively non-verbal, dispersed groups of peoples (living) before our ancestors emerged from Africa," said study author Gerald Crabtree, a researcher at Stanford University, in a statement.
Since then it's all been downhill, Crabtree contends.

Yes that does explain a lot, it explains both 2008 and 2012 very well.

1. Yes, Republican humans are becoming less intelligent thanks to
Fox News, Limbaugh, Beck, etc.
Sorry, just had to go there.
Yet we are the ones who know where this country is heading, you fools will all be shocked as hell when we are knee deep in yet another recession and even after the tax hikes revenue to the government starts to go down. Yep we are the unintelligent ones. :whatever:

Then what do high density urban populations do to intelligence? Drive even lower?

Primitives have so much to learn. And life is getting ready to shove it in their face in the next few years.

It won't matter. DUmmies are ideologically driven so, for instance, ideology drives their "math" and "science." Hence the "1 + 1 = potato" meme identified by one of our cavers.
No matter how bad things get, it will always be someone else, Christians, Republicans, Mommy, Daddy, etc. at fault that 1 + 1 refuses to add up to "potato" or whatever else DUmmie ideology demands the "truth" to be.
