Are the Morons Marching?
Matthew Cheney takes exception to Ben Bova's column from yesterday about the predictive power of SF. Bova had cited C.M. Kornbluth's 1951 story, "The Marching Morons," about "the degradation of the human germ plasm" through stupid people having more children than smart people.
Update, 5/9: More definitively, biologist and professor PZ Meyers has also intellectually demolished the Bova essay, and, more specifically, the Kornbluth story that inspired it.
