In this thread, science gets disproven

That's still not slander, as slander requires publication. You could argue that, because Libel requires publication too, it isn't libel either due to internet forums not being a viable form of publication (at least not yet). Either way you're still wrong, because it isn't 'lies and slander' it's just lies.

But anyway, like I said, even if imagination is a product of a physical world which is a figment of imagination, that's no reason to assume imagination also is a figment of imagination.

By this point you're "imagination" is so fragmentary it's nonexistant. There is reasonable evidence that even the unconcsious mind, let alone the concious is so much a product of our environment that it's ridiculous. Sure you can go back further than nthe unconcsious but it's pretty meaningless by that stage and just handwaving.

Can you disprove that, while the human race is growing, we are getting less intelligent as a whole?

15) All studies which have monitored IQ over time show that it increases. That theory out and out ignores the actual numbers. Also Heighetened medicines (alongside nutrition) lead to increased intelligence due to healthier brains. Also genetic factors in intelligence are laughably small.
Also IQ is a terrible indicator of intelligence.

US laws aren't global laws...

I heard the stupid have always had more kids than the clever. But anyway if you've got twenty earth-shattering geniuses among a population of four billion by selective breeding rather than thirty earth-shattering geniuses among a population of ten billion you're still falling behind in the end of the world race.

This. This is what I was getting at.

We're both from the UK. Actually, that's an assumption, because while I know I'm from the UK, I just assume you are because of the British Election complaint thread.

Genetic influences on intelligence are small enough as to be virtually worthless, environmental factors are so much more prominent. And in this regard increased nutrition and overall health has icnreased average intelligence in the world as well as increasing mechanisation of labour allowing more time to study, rest less time to work..

. Fifth has made me sad. Emotions eating away at my reasoning function.
I have been defeated.
Thread over!
