And then there's the whole argument about the inverse relationship between intelligence (as measured by IQ) and fertility.

I do agree though that if reality TV is any indication - we're going to wind up making the Neanderthals look like the smart ones.
The middle path - everything in moderation, and everything in its time and order.
