There has been some decline in intelligence due to selection. About a point a generation, probably for the past two or three generations. Woodley's claim that there has been a 1-std decline since Victorian times is nonsense.
This amazing interview doesn’t explain EVERYTHING.
Just ALMOST everything.

I know the state of math and theoretical physics then and now: if there had been a real 1-std drop in IQ, both would have collapsed. Hasn't happened. Contrariwise, average guy in 180-should have found trig easy. They did not.

The battle for the soul of the western world will be the defining fight of our generation. There can be only one winner in what will surely become the most momentous conflict of the twenty-first century; tooth-and-nail fight; between the forces of postmodernism and liberty.
