My Theory of Evolution

It'll come as no surprise to people who know me, to find that I hate stupid people.

I don't mean people who can't recite pi to 50 decimal places, or the square route of 253469. That'd be silly. I have an above average IQ, but I've had plenty of friends within the "normal" IQ band, so it's not like I'm some kind of super-intellectual or anything. Nor am I talking about just people with below average intelligence. In fact, people who would once have been called "simple" are generally very nice people.

No, I'm talking about the troglodytes with more children than brain cells, who think their head might fall off if it's not attached to a mobile phone while they scream at their equally brain-dead friends, who have no manners, who think that you want to hear all about (random girl) splitting up with (random guy) because of (random reason) when they're across the other side of the bloody room, who sit under no smoking signs with a cigarette in their mouths (possibly related to the inability to read), who think tracksuit trousers are formal-wear and should be tucked into socks, and who are forever finding new and depressing ways of making me wonder just how they manage to stay alive long enough to irritate me.

Ahem, rant over. For now.

But you know exactly who I'm talking about, and if you're one of them I commend you for (a) being able to read, (b) being able to use a computer, and most of all (c) for trying to change. Please.

I get the bus to work. Not such a big deal, normally. Except this one obviously passes a bunch of schools on the way, and as such we get the trog hordes invading our space (without paying, too). And sadly you can't help but hear them talking. Or more accurately, shouting. Bleh, I won't start again. Scroll up if you want the rant again!

So here's the theory.

I believe that fertility is inversely proportional to IQ. Which means the lower the IQ, the more likely to fall pregnant. You obviously sacrifice intelligence for sheer numbers.
This leads me to believe that Nature is trying to 'breed out' the faulty gene as quickly as possible. Generation after generation will spawn (most of them as soon as they hit puberty) and eventually the average IQ will drop so far that they won't be able to survive, or breed any more. And then they'll be extinct, leaving the rest of us to live a life of relative peace.

The signs are all there. And that is a day I wish I'd be alive to see.
