I think you're missing the point of the comic. Yes, it's absolutely possible that you could measure this effect but worrying about it won't help and attempting to "fix" it will almost certainly backfire in hilarious and/or terrifying ways. See China.
- x220 8y agoYou avoid China by not forcing people to do things they do not want to do. Here's a likely way to reverse the trend: give free birth control and abortions (no questions asked), government subsidized child care, government subsidized college tuition, and higher tax incentives for marriage and having children. The largest obstacle for rich and generally high IQ women to having children is lack of money and lack of practical child care. A huge reason that poor people and generally low IQ people tend to have more children is lack of sex education and lack of access to birth control and contraceptives. This is a completely peaceful, non-violent way to reverse the trend. And just so we are clear, this assumes that you already think that humans who tend to be rich or have high IQ scores have genes worth propagating. It's not hard to avoid Chinese atrocities when you keep yourself from thinking that you are so justified that people should be forced to live the way you think is correct.
