The pressures of advancing species survival knowledge accumulation through "experimentation' on evolution are the primary force in advancing intellect/I.Q. By making it easier for weaker individuals to survive, government provides the path for intellectual dumbing down, since species competition for food, shelter and propagation are minimized by the government supplying needs that would have to be "earned" otherwise. At the same time, the total population of those with higher-level I.Q.'s is growing. In a knowledge-based society, the CQ (Curiosity Quotient) drives the I.Q., and survival instincts are transmuted into a form of knowledge acquisition, with those most successful in this arena making the most progress in succeeding.
Education, with all it's travails, may be, must be, the answer, but will not achieve success for most without recognition that "class distinction" will always be a part of the societal ecology, and refusing to plan for differences in ability, and workplace needs, while depending on government to constantly add increasing resources to support and even encourage population "production" is the wrong answer.
