Did the human race reach its intellectual peak between 1930s and 1980s and now we're in a downward spiral

Here's a great quote from someone on GLP I've saved...

"I do believe that modern liberalism has stunted human evolution. The burden of nursemaiding the lesser races has been a yoke around the white man's neck for the past 50 - 100 years. Otherwise, white man would be well on his way colonizing other planets by now. We went from inventing the first airplane to landing on the moon in 65 years. Since then, we haven't done shit. Every effort, minute and spare penny is used for feeding, clothing, educating, healing, sheltering and defending people who haven't even figured out not to shit next to their drinking water yet."

Put sawdust in an oatmeal package and a certain large number of humans would eat it.

Some of it's likely the declining lack of common sense which has been replaced by "educated" sense.

Common sense is what got humanity here, kept us alive, helped us thrive, through millions of years of struggle. All of us living today are the product of millions of people who had excellent common sense.

Common sense is DISCRIMINATING wisely among all the things around you - what's a threat, what's not, what's a meal, what's not, etc.

Since today most human beings no longer have to worry about their survival due to collective (state) protection and subsidies in some way, common sense is not needed.

Not really a peak, but more like systematically dumbed down.

Flouride, common core, dpt of education, and everything else placed in the way of people reaching their potential.

Its by design of "them"

EUGENICS was outlawed in the 1930's... still some persisted until the 1940's but the purpose of Eugenics was selective breeding to increase the population's intelligence and prime DNA.

"Technology may be getting smarter, but humans are getting dumber, scientists have warned.
...
Some have even contentiously said this could be because educated people are deciding to have fewer children, so that subsequent generations are largely made up of less intelligent people."

It's sad how the PC culture is trying to bury the evident reason for the decline, because it doesn't fit their "everyone's equal" doctrine. Of course, it is about smart and highly educated people choosing not to have kids.

I am a smart and highly educated person (PhD + professorship). I was also dead set against having children ever. I used to sugarcoat it by citing moral reasons ("the world's such a clusterfuck that it'd be immoral to have kids"), but my true reason was:

"I've spent two decades working 70 h weeks and sacrificed everything in my life - including my social life and health - to advance my career. There's no way in hell I am going to throw it all away by having kids."

Then I fell in love, got married and got shafted at work because I couldn't put in the hours like before. I was torn between my obligations at home and those at work, and conseqeuently I burned out and my priorities shifted. I downshifted at work and we had a child. I was 45, my wife was 37. At our age it was touch-and-go, but eventually my wife gave birth to a healthy child.

Anyway, the point of my little story is that most people like me will either choose not to have kids or they'll postpone it until it's way too late. Had I not burned out, my marriage would have ended up in a divorce, because that's how hell-bent I was on my career. While recovering from the burn-out, I had time to think about life and how there must be something else than work to it. The realization that I was destroying myself and causing grief to my wife who truly loved me really woke me up, but most people like me will never wake up.

1967 is when libtardism began kicking in.

The war on the nuclear family. "free" love.

The welfare state expanded. This enabled low class people to multiply more than anything else.

They probably already do.

It's sad how the PC culture
