Everyone is an idiot = we smarter folks get better jobs and quality of life.

Right?

No but we've built much greater things.

And we could build Pyramids, if we wanted to.

>> No.3111412

When you look around are you intentionally ignoring the fact that the average person today is more educated than any time before now?

QED

>> No.3111436

is intelligence even an inheritable trait? i remember reading somewhere that it wasnt. something about how everyone has an equal chance of producing a smart kid and the thing that really matters is parenting/education. but i guess the majority of the really stupid people are the majority of the really poor people and dont parent well and cant give their kids a good education. so i guess essentially idocracy

>> No.3111434 [DELETED] 

>>3111364
its not going to happen. smart people are artificially selecting between themselves for intelligence, smart people only have kids with smart people. this will quickly lead to smarter and smarter people at the top of the spectrum.

education != intelligence. one thinks you would notice the barrage of people with high school diploma and single digit iqs.

It isn't a 100% heritable trait.
Most traits are partially heritable and partially environmental.

I guarantee you that nothing we've built in the last century will even be remembered a thousand years from now. Our art is abstract shit focusing on the self-expression of the artist; no Mona Lisa or Greek marbles for the 21st century. Our music is shallow and trendy, forgotten a month after it hits the radio; no Beethoven's 5th or Brandenburg Concerto for the 21st century. Our architecture is cheap and utilitarian; no Versailles or Parthenon for the 21st century.

No one has ever based the value of a culture on its technological achievements. When indoor plumbing, metalworking, and even the wheel were invented, they were all revolutionary wonders, but nobody now looks back and applauds the societies that created them. We may think telecommunications and the internet are our great work as a culture, but to people in the future it will seem as mundane as any of the millions of things we take for granted now.

"Idiocracy," is a normal cycle within human society. The years within the Common Era; in which Christianity (specifically the Catholics) ruled over the grand majority of Europe, was such a time...

Obviously there is a huge genetic component to IQ. Do you honestly believe that the reason why everyone is not an Einstein or Mozart or Beethoven or even a high school valedictorian is because "they just tried harder"?

>> No.3111559

>>3111483
nobody may look back on those achievements, but they formed the foundation for all future advances. I'll take that over a few statues.

Also, unless there is vandalism, Mt. Rushmore will be around for the foreseeable future. Just one of many such things. You're thinking too narrowly with buildings and technology and such.

If Einstein wasn't interested in science and just did drugs all day we wouldn't have even known about him.

That pretty much sums up everything...

Another obvious statement. There's more to an innate ability to think critically than personal interest; though I'm not trying to discourage hardwork which is also an obvious key to knowledge and success.
