It is my opinion you can blame fundamentalist religion.
The Earth is flat because the good book says so ... the good book trumps science.
I saw a lecture and the point was made the US Army has a minimum IQ ( 83) below which they won't go... and these folk below are not suitable for any form of work.
They are so stupid in effect that they are dangerous.
And there is 10% of the population below 83... they are not even useful for canon fodder apparently.
Unfortunately this major problem is not addressed probably because culling would be the only sensible solution ☺
I think 20% in US believe the good book is literally true and regard it as unquestionable authority so it would seem 20% of the population will go for a flat Earth and a rejection of gravity if surveyed.☺.
It is funny...humans breed animals to improve the strain and yet any suggestion of "breeding" better humans is not on...but as terrible as this will sound it probably makes sence not to let folk with an IQ below 83 have children.
