Objectively we’ve only become smarter (IQs have increased), stronger (fitness records continue to be broken), etc. since infant mortality shrank. If you believe otherwise please provide evidence.
- qsera 4mo agoSo it depends on how you want to measure it.
- amanaplanacanal 4mo agoHow would you measure it?
- qsera 4mo agoI would not use individual IQs. Instead I would look at how smart/dumb the general population behaves.
- oneshtein 4mo agoIf continuously sample range [0..inf), then average will grow with time.
- antasvara 4mo agoIs there a reason you expect IQ to be unbounded? Feels like there are physical constraints, at which point you're sampling from a truncated normal distribution (or similar).
