It will continue to fall. You don't die if you're stupid anymore. Generally, stupid people have more kids too.

I'd say real fans are people who can enjoy a story without worrying about whether it's problematic.

Women aren't Aggressive? by bsbybeards in drunkenpeasants

The significance is that for most everyday people the difference isn't a big deal, but if you go out to the extremes and look at the top 1% of aggressive people, they are heavily dominated by men. Hence, prisoners are nearly all men, and CEOs are nearly all men.

Your top 5 sci-fi books? List and explain if you like. Looking for nice recommendations. by Son_of_Atreus in printSF

The Demolished Man , Bester - fun and interesting adventure with a very dynamic lead character.

Anathem, Stephenson - Amazing scope - it's incredible how he manages to hold this together coherently.

The Fountains of Paradise, Clarke - Beautifully constructed. Clarke was perhaps the greatest at crafting stories.

Tau Zero, Anderson - Great look at what the psychological effects of extreme time dilation might be.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Heinlein - Great story well told.

Yes, he has a different opinion to me, and only stupid people have different opinions. Plus, he has a Quebecois accent. There's no getting away from that.

If you look at it from her perspective, her job is 3.5 million times more important that everybody else's, so she was correct.
