Don't worry friend, total fiscal collapse is imminent, followed by social disintegration. If history shows us anything, absent socialist autocracy, low IQ are always the first to die.

>Capitalism is probably disgenic.
It's actually welfare couple with modern science which is disgenic. There is pretty solid evidence of gradual IQ rise from the 1400s till around 1880 in england, and America for that matter (using methods like average level of complex language and Grammer usage in writing), a period during which every year the bottom 1% of society was executed for crime, even petty crime, and wealthy families had a well documented reproductive advantage over poor families. Something like an average of twice as many children each generation. This all changed with the adoption of public hospitals, schooling etc. Germ theory in particular, coupled with redistributive healthcare, has led to a massive artificial boost to the reproductively of those who would have otherwise died soon after childbirth from deleterious gene mutations. We are several generations deep into disgenic reproduction, the only two things that will reverse the trend is either a return to darwinian selection following the collapse of redistributive government, or massive advances to gene editing before we enter terminal IQ levels where such innovation is no longer possible. Average IQ of Victorian era englanders and Americans is estimated to be about 112 compared to today's 100. Per capita innovation has cratered over the last 100 years.
