The Yudkowsky–Moore Law Is Firing Warning Shots

According to Eliezer Yudkowsky:

Moore's Law of Mad Science: Every eighteen months, the minimum IQ necessary to destroy the world drops by one point.

You can think of the Trump and Sanders campaigns as the political equivalent:

Moore's Law of Mad Politics: Every eighteen months, the minimum IQ necessary to destroy the political system drops by one point.

People aren't getting dumber but now idiots can get behind political movements they would never have heard of a decade or two ago.
