A Q&A With Gregory Cochran ☀
- 2blowhards.com: What is the Gregory Cochran view on 'Idiocracy'? I.e. the recent phenomenon where rich countries' economic surplus, created by the successful evolutionary adaptation of their population acts nowdays to yield a sizable demographic surplus of gene-carriers of the less successful adapters.
- Gregory Cochran: Average genetic IQ potential is probably dropping: something in the range of 0.5 -1.0 pts per generation. The driver is mostly low fertility among women with lots of education.
