Nature, of which man is a member, judges everything – over some period of time.

Nature, of which man is a member, judges everything – over some period of time. And it is not merciful.

The USA cannot maintain democracy or rule of law or relative wealth with an IQ under 97, and certainly not under 95, because the minimum optimum IQ is 105 and the maximum is closer to 115. And there is a relationship between the needs of the economy and the possibility of a majority middle class. When it is the middle class and only the middle class that has moral ambitions (treating everyone as a customer).

We are just about to tip into 97IQ and will hit 95 within two decades. That means the gains of western civ in the USA are lost, and an authoritarian government will be required and the middle class will continue to evaporate, and wealth will decline to second world levels.
