I'll have to disagree with the whole "people are dumb" theory. We're not dumb. We're just self-absorbed. That, combined with our general lack of critical thinking/problem solving skills, has made us helpless at best. As far as physical fitness goes, the gap between fit and unfit is rapidly increasing. Pure speculation, but it seems to me that alot people are either overweight or in damn fine shape, with the majority leaning towards being overweight.
One thing I was curious about was our collective resistance to chemicals, theoretically brought about by harmful materials in our homes (fiberglass, certain plastics), food (growth hormones, pesticides), and of course our enviroment (air pollution, oil spills).
