There's hardly any selection pressure for intelligence anymore: modern society allows you to survive and reproduce with below average intelligence, and will take care of your children for you when you can't do so properly, at least to the extent that they will survive and continue your legacy of dysfunction. If anything, selection is in the opposite direction now: your potential high-iq wife is spending her prime breeding years getting indoctrinated in college about how overpopulated the world is, and resources that you would otherwise spend on your own children will be taken from you and funneled into supporting the children of some imbecile. Add to this the fact that the modern lifestyle is known to damage the brain through a dozen different mechanisms: poor brain blood circulation due to a sedentary lifestyle, permanent damage to the prefrontal cortex due to chronic stress, various impairments due to poor sleep and nutrition. Finally, figure in the fact that the most intelligent and creative people are the most affected by the soulless of this corporate-run prison, and you get the end of human intellectual progress.
