In an attempt to provide a final and definitive answer to the OP's question regarding the IQ level of EVE's players I can confirm that in the past 2.000 to 6.000 years IQ HAS indeed gone down as demonstrated by this article: "Are Humans getting Smarter or Dumber?"
Now that's out of the way, everyone disperse and get back to mining or ganking! Carebear Extraordinaire |

Faster response times equals faster processing of input data equals higher IQ. Right?
Of course that also means our computers are way more intelligent than we are. Carebear Extraordinaire |

DJentropy Ovaert wrote:Getting people to actually bother reading what was posted before, think about it, and then take their time to write up a reasonable response and then take the time to proof read it before clicking post - I fear you are asking too much from humanity in general. Only a small percentage of us are able to do this. It's not behavior that is encouraged by our social media. Facebook, Twitter, .... they all promote short meaningless interaction. The EVE-O forums are no exception to this. There has been an interesting study on the topic by the Pew Research Center (not a group of gankers) that starts from the assumption that interactions through Facebook and Twitter should have encouraged minority groups to express themselves more freely but instead comes to the conclusion that the opposite is true. The full article can be read here.
Solecist Project wrote:The reason why there is so much hatred on the forums, and barely any conscious thought, is because people react to the negativity! People also act to positivity (or enthusiasm). Posts and players with likes are more likely to receive additional likes than those without any. Peer pressure exists even among anonymous individuals or those using forum alts, or so it seems.

DJ missed it as well. You were quite complete in your dissection of the human brain. I can't add anything to it, but I can expand on the reasons as to why there is so much negativity on these forums, as can DJ. Carebear Extraordinaire |
