Andy,The human genetic pool has been continuously weakened since the beginning of what we consider modern medicine, and it is ongoing. It allows some of the infirm, whether mental, physical, psychological, etc. to live that would otherwise be selected out. And when they reproduce and those traits grow (if hereditary), and perhaps exponentially, over time we risk the possibility of a future on this planet where no human is strong as nature would define it.Essentially, technological advances have wrought larger populations of ever weaker Homo Sapiens. I could be wrong, but there sure seems to be an abundance of evidence staring us right in the face.This sounds cruel I know. But it just may be the reason why so many idiots are seen as experts as you say.Eric

There is a finite amount of intelligence in the world. Always has been. When there were only a few thousand humans, this intelligence was spread to these few, which made each one very intelligent and they discovered fire, created the wheel, etc. Now there are billions of us, and that same finite amount of intelligence is spread out super thin, so many of us get very little. Now we discover reality shows.I know this is true because I read it on the internet.Bob L
