Ah yes, the Flynn effect. I guess natural selection nowadays works through the number of likes. And riding a bike in the dark with no lights while listening to music and scrolling in playlists on your smartphone, while wearing dark clothes and refusing to wear bicycle helmets because they ruin the hairdo.

The western world, I can imagine, but how about the less developed part, who recently just started to learn how to read and even can afford light to read books at night?
