"Peaked in the 50's".

If we were living in the 50's today I'd be forced to sit in the back of any bus I was in and could get hanged for dating a white girl, everyone would be smoking all the time, even when pregnant, smacking women and kids around wouldn't be that big of a deal, among other ridiculous things.

Hence, "smarter" isn't really the word that comes to mind when I think of people in the 50's. What comes to mind is "Ignorant as ****"... there's more to being smart then mathematics and physics and other academics, and even then, the amount of literate people has jumped by like at least 30% since the 1950's... so to say that people were smarter back in the day is hard to take as valid from any point of view.

EDIT- Toonami was the shit.

I'm British too sometimes but that's no excuse.

A quick google tells me that it looks crap though.
Of course, it was early 90s TV CGI.

It's worth noting, too, that advances in methods as well as technology have put the fields of mathematics and physics (and Engineering, especially) miles ahead of where they were half a century ago.

I think we need to get DS to define the criteria that is being labeled as "in decline."

DS, what, specifically, do you think has declined in the past years?

Edit: the Reboot that I've seen from the internet (I'd also never heard of it before Gideon started fapping to it) is turrible, even to the extent that it is not watchable in the "it is so bad that it's good" sense.

So have we all changed our names now?

I haven't changed mine in quite a while. It feels good operating under the same name for large stretches of time.

"in quite a while"?

You got here like a month ago and haven't changed your name at all yet.
