  44. 1. Innovation was not done by "humanity" as Brendan says, it was done by Europeans. 2. The Industrial Revolution is the most important even in history? It happened because British people had been under strong genetic selection for intelligence for several centuries, wherein wealthier (more intelligent) people massively outbred poorer (less intelligent) people. So much so that the current British population is almost wholly descended from the upper and upper middle classes of 500 years ago. This caused a continuous increase in IQ over centuries until intelligence reached a high enough point for the Industrial Revolution to occur. 3. We seem to be moving away from the "spirit" that caused the Industrial Revolution to occur? Yes, because unfortunately the product of the Industrial Revolution was to create enough surplus that the poor could reproduce just as much as the wealthy, but moreover that the wealthy could begin to limit their own fertility coluntarily. As a consequence of these phenomena, we entered a period of dysgenic fertility that has continued to accelerate up to the modern day, with the most intelligent having the fewest children and the least intelligent having the most children. We now find ourselves in a period in which genotypic intelligence is about 15 points lower than it was in the 1850s (100 vs 115). The declining culture of innovation is a consequence of the declining intelligence of all industrialised populations. The Chinese are smart enough enough that they are focusing on technology like CRISPR that will allow eugenic improvement of IQ to counter this, but Western countries are so poisoned with egalitarian ideology and blank slateism that they seem determined not to arrest the decline.
