::::No, the average person cannot understand even mildly advanced mathematics. We've been discussing average intelligence, and its decline.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:03, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

:::::Well, you were the one who brought up "average college students," who need to understand ideas that are far more complex than what their counterparts did a couple of centuries, or even decades ago. And do you have any evidence that the average college student, or man in the street, does not understand the Federalist Papers? [[User:JamesES|JamesES]] 21:20, 17 June 2011 (EDT)

::::::There is an article stating that man's brain has shrunk 10%. [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2002684/Were-getting-smaller-brains-shrinking--farming-blame.html] Another that says obesity shrinks the brain significantly. [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2002684/Were-getting-smaller-brains-shrinking--farming-blame.html] The source is less than credible with their faux conservatism and their evolutionary clap trap but I am positive it is not the only source discussing the issue described. --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 21:53, 17 June 2011 (EDT)
