Eventually the world will be full of stupid people.

If you think about it all the geniuses out there either:
1. Aren't that attractive so never find a spouse to have a child/children with
2. Don't want to find a spouse
3. Don't want to have a child

So the majority of very intelligent people end up not reproducing.

The less intelligent are much more likely to have children as:
1. They are probably more attractive so will find a spouse more easily
2. Don't use condoms & other forms of protection

The majority of non-intelligent people end up reproducing.

So the world will be full of non-intelligent people eventually... :woo: :eek3:

Are you ****ing kidding me?
I taught a 12-year-old this year who has an IQ of 160. She's extremely pretty and has plenty of friends to boot. Trust me, she will have no trouble finding someone to settle down with, or passing on her good genes. And I doubt she's the only one! Plus, not to mention the fact above that IQ is not necessarily hereditary.
The world is full of stupid people, in some form or another (I don't just mean IQ-wise). :p:

IQ means nothing. Not debating whether or not she's smart but the fact that her IQ is 160 means nothing

Guess you're definitely going to have children then.
That movie idocracy is funny.
Intelligence isn't 100% hereditary...

If you don't want 'stupid people' to fill the world, then please don't reproduce OP.
A vast majority of the world IS filled with stupid people, they're all just too vain, smug and arrogant to realize it.

The world may be full of people unaware that the plural of genius is genii and that intelligent and good-looking people actually do exist. And I know you think it's probably an urban legend but don't worry, it's just like that story where people who "Don't use condoms & other forms of protection" are at no risk to their health either and will live to a ripe old age.
:rolleyes:
someone was telling me this the other day; the more intellectual plan and stuff so that they are in the perfect situation with with perfect partner to have children with, so it is more likely they wont have many/ will leave it too late cos they have spent their whole life planning. whereas the less organised types are more likely to have lots of kids, unplanned. the end.

since we're talking about IQ results, it is worth noting that IQ decreases with age. By the time sex drugs and rock and roll have taken their toll- not to mention TV & other mind numbing advertisment tools- she will have the IQ of a toad

In general, they do.

If you think that, then the proposal in your original post is already true.

I'm a minority (intelligent & have children) ;] lol I'm joking :P I'm not really arrogant, I'm quite the opposite :smile:

And I wasn't saying this is what I think will happen, it was a huge exaggeration :smile:
Intelligence is not hereditary. Stupid parents can have a child prodigy; amazingly intelligent parents can have a drooling idiot.
