Well, that's one opinion.

What about the Stanford study that says human intelligence peaked 2,000 - 6,000 years ago?

That's a big range that includes multiple lifestyles and societies. Unless they're referring to China?

I'd like to read that study

they argue that society has minimized or decreased evolution, which is somewhat true. that's why evolutionary psychology is still relevant today

however, the issue is the assumption that our intelligence is developed on certain evolutionary concepts that we perceive today. what i can tell you is that we've become even more intertwined and further away from hunger-gatherer societies AND we have objective evidence that intelligence is increasing

that's a difficult problem to rectify
