No. I can prove a correlation between decreasing intellect and increase in wealth, mostly due to inheritance.

Of course this is not causality. But since rich people steer all of our politics worldwide idiocracy isn't the satire that it was supposed to be anymore.

Fyi: Just look at post-brexit-UK. 2000 years of incest and still they wonder where the problem's at. :)

You are the first person to even answer this question, which is a bad sign. Since then I did come up with a theoretical solution, but putting it into practice will be difficult.

Yeah, i don't think your so called solution will work well. Because you're clearly looking through a pink-(or maybe yellow-) colored lens in your argument.

There is a whole south-European society covering many countries and Ethnicities that neither know chess or go. These people usually play backgammon to waste their time.

I'm against eugenics and dogma.

I root for the other team.You know the team that has some flex.

Flex is the ultimate survival mechanism but i admit it is not given to everyone in the same manner.

You would be against eugenics since it would remove your genes. I don't know what flex is, presumably some modern crap.

The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote

It could be, but it can't.
