Back to the subject, I think there are three factors:

High IQ women tend to have fewer children

Modern medicine keeps low intelligence people alive longer and gives them more opportunities to reproduce

Society treats mental retardation differently. Low intelligence people aren't kept behind closed doors by their families anymore, they are out in the population breeding.
From this diatribe one is to gather that the world is full of the worst kind of idiot..."fking idiots"
