No, it's not just you — people really are, per a number of surveys, way less intelligent than they used to be.

I wonder if you could analyze internet discussions for an effect.

    Yeah as the smart child of two dumbfuck parents who can barely read please stop repeating this dumb shit.

    Two smart people don’t always make a smart baby. Two dumb people don’t always make a dumb baby.

    It is eugenics.

      If you automatically assumed that intelligence having a hereditary component to it meant that I was trying to say that all dumb people’s children were also dumb 100% of the time, you might not be as smart as you think.
