Yes, but I don't think it's because the lack of natural selection, but rather the fact that we're breeding ourselves to be more stupid. Uneducated people on average marry earlier and have more kids, so their population grows much more rapidly than the educated population. A more interesting question would be: what should we as a society do in order to reverse this trend, if anything at all?
