Right, and you seemed to imply that smartness can be measured in how many live copies of one's genes one manages to produce.

Sort of. The idea that we're somehow smarter today is nonsense on stilts.

Smartest was 10-15 years ago. Flynn effect reversed.

we are not smarter, but we have access to more knowledge

laughing_man · 2026-06-05T23:32:55 1780702375

I wonder about that. How much of the knowledge we're exposed to is actually true?

And other people are judging your comment as dumb and somewhat misunderstanding of genetics/fitness.

And I'm judging them in turn for not understanding intelligence or genetics or fitness and for being passive/aggressive.
