About the evolutionary and cognitive apocalypse


"Fools will dominate and destroy the world"*


*Or they will continue to dominate, only their dominance will be even deeper.


The scene of a couple of PhDs who are always postponing having children to dedicate themselves to their respective careers and a couple of "idiots" with a football team of descendants, from the film Idiocracy (2006), has become a palpable reality and has already a few decades ago. Because if an apocalypse approaches on the horizon, it is likely that one of its causes will be this serious imbalance in fertility between the most and least intelligent. Whether by continent, countries, ethnic, racial or social groups, the pattern changes little and is frightening, through the current discursive and political dominance of the so-called "pseudosciences of good", largely responsible for this scenario, in which facts are placed in conflict. second plan

  and "noble feelings" treated as parameters of intellectual evaluation, in other words, the order of reason completely inverted. So, from this, one comes to believe that the human being is completely moldable by the environment and, therefore, that social interventions based on this belief must be adopted (imposed), since, supposedly, that old discourse about intrinsic differences between individuals and groups of our species is nothing more than a racist vestige of past centuries... As a result, the less intelligent are allowed to multiply, while the more capable fractions leave almost no descendants and, as cognitive abilities are primarily hereditary, at the same time Contrary to what these "pseudosciences of good" preach, there is no point in giving the best education, because the younger generations, increasingly less intelligent, will not experience a great increase in their intelligence just if they are placed in front of books or even if the media focus only on educational content. Because, if on one side we have this daily brainwashing, on the other, more to the right, we have one of its specialties, economic oppression, not only against the working class, but also against the middle class, forcing many of the smartest couples to reduce the number of children they want to have or will have. In the short term, it may not be possible to see the damage this is causing, with a certain exception for countries like Brazil, whose "intelligent fraction" is no longer one of the most numerous. But I think we are already seeing in the medium term and moving towards the long term, it seems that the most sensible and intelligent people are becoming increasingly rare.
