EDIT is expressly called out in the now-modified question.

| Apr 20, 2015 at 20:20 | comment | added | Remi.b | It is not clear to me either why it has been closed. Would be good to give comments when voting for closing. Would a summary about the research on the correlation between fecundity and IQ answer your question? Eventually a discussion about statistical issues in these studies (I am assuming this is what you mean when talking about the effect of regression to the mean)? | |
| Apr 20, 2015 at 19:23 | comment | added | user23715 | @Remi.b - Actually the comments attached to the Ted Talk helped the most but still leaves me hanging. I was hoping for something about "regression to the mean" ameliorating bad breeding choices over the long run and how that might apply to human culture generally under our current experimental regime. Something like that. --- I read the SE rules on how to ask questions and, reviewing them again just now, am still at a loss as to how this is a bad question... other than it has gotten zero answers but that could be because it's on hold. ?? O_o | |
| Apr 20, 2015 at 19:05 | comment | added | Remi.b | Sorry, I was unclear. I really didn't mean that the links I posted would answer your question. I just hope it could eventually help. I know nothing on the subject. From wikipedia I read that it doesn't seem to have any correlation between fertility and IQ. | |
| Apr 20, 2015 at 18:59 | comment | added | user23715 | @Chris (or Matt) --- I understand the Flynn Effect. I am not asking a question about it. --- What I want to know is if there are any published studies that are looking for the Idiocracy Effect. --- It's a well known phenomenon that kennel breeding in dogs (e.g.), if poorly managed, can engender many genetic diseases and otherwise increase susceptibility to health problems in general. --- Won't the same thing happen with humans? How is this controversial? --- I understand that such a question can engender poor quality answers but that's why I posted on a moderated forum. | |

| Apr 17, 2015 at 14:37 | comment | added | user23715 | @Remi.b - Thanks. I was aware of this phenomenon. Thus my last sentence in the question that says, in part, "Since testing results are always relative to the population as a whole". This covers both the Flynn Effect and testing bias resulting from test design in a given culture. - --- - There are many ways of measuring welfare spending against population data but, all politics aside, it seems to me that the 50-year trend (which no one disputes) may be a proxy for an answer to the question I ask above. | |
