The belief that the world is getting dumber is one that has been around for centuries. It's as old as human civilization. Yet any scientific analysis, of modern or historical trends, shows that it is simply not true. Anecdotal evidence and flawed perceptions of reality are the only things backing up such a belief.
It's like we believe the world is more dangerous. The world is not more dangerous than it was 100 years ago, we are simply more aware of the danger (and safer for it!)
