I wonder if you could analyze internet discussions for an effect.

    In my personal observations less intelligent people tend to have more children.
    Therefore population IQ drifts towards bottom.

    I suspect that’s because they do not fully understand all their future struggles and fates of their children in the world, fucked up by climate crisis and resource scarcity.

      This is the plot to a fictional movie. Intelligence is a factor of many things, and most of those factors are not genetic.

      Your observation seems close to the opinions of old school eugenicists. “The wrong people are having children”.
