Do you sometimes feel the amount of intelligence on Y/A is a constant , but that the population keeps growing?

Answer 1

The question sounds like a polite way of saying the level of intelligence is decreasing. This indicates that new members lack either intelligence or the ability to ask an intelligent question. Also that the level of intelligence shown in the answers given is decreasing. If this is the intent of your question then I wholly agree with you!!!!

Answer 2

I believe that the intelligence level shown by new members will increase with their exposure to the wisdom of the older members of Y!A. In short, we are a group that, over time, increases the general knowledge and wisdom of the population as a whole.

Answer 3

Going down that road means that the average intelligence of those on Y/A will decrease as the population grows. No slighting on those on these boards, just that nasty law of averages kicking in.

Answer 4

Is it hypocritical to answer yes even though I have only signed on recently? I apologise if I dilute the simmering pool of intellect, but I was curious. And there are still some pretty interesting answers, even if they aren't always related to the questions......
(This does not include the above.)

Answer 5

We do seem to be in an intellectual "holding pattern", no pun intended Baron. It is kinda of sad truly.

Answer 6

I like pickles!
