Then how does this gel with all these stories and anecdotes of kids cramming advanced math and AP courses for competitive schools? I would say it's the opposite. I just don't see it . From landing a decent job or getting into a decent college, everything has gotten more competitive and difficult, requiring being smarter.

As you observed, the top 25% (give or take) seem as bright and driven as ever, but if the rest of their peers are falling behind, it could drag the overall average lower.
