BS. A lot of intellectual wannabes concern troll about intelligence. Some douches even started a Nobel prize winner sperm bank. But people are as smart as they ever were, and education and information are more available in this new millennium than they have been throughout the entirety of human history. Besides, to think that "smart genes" will die out defies what we know of heredity. There will always be dormant genes that will awaken and spread as soon as given the opportunity. That's the only thing we need to worry about: giving smart people the chance to be smart (I mean making schools, offering higher education, and promoting art). Not some bullshit elitist eugenics program.

Idiocracy was a funny movie, but it spread some unpleasant ideas among self-proclaimed intellectuals about the fate of humanity. Rest assured, if you could travel back to the 19th century and quiz John Doe from back then and compare him to John Doe from today, you'd see that if anything, we are getting smarter.
