you're talking about dysfunctional individuals.... not a general societal trend. and to your point, i would argue that those "people in the middle" on the whole are much more intelligent than those further down the scale... which was my point. being more intelligent doesn't necessarily equate to less success, i would argue it generally equates to less failure. lets not pretend that the millions in lines in section 8 offices or those with EBT cards or local jails are packed with Mensa members ;)
