After looking at the technical marvels of the last two hundred years, you can't sit there and tell me the human race is losing its capacity to learn. That's just preposterous.

Capacity for learning: Just go to any school and see how it's going.
Capacity for reasoning: Iraq war is a pretty good example of how that's lessor now.
Capacity for understanding: if I had a dollar for everytime someone said to me "I just don't understand..."
Aptitude in grasping truths: one word - Christianity
Aptitude in relationships: Divorce rate has never been higher
Aptitude in facts: Again, Iraq War comes to mind.
Aptitude in meanings: You posting the meaning of intelligent and still not understanding its meaning is a perfect example.
It's more intelligent to build a pyramid with logs and rocks, than it is to build a skyscraper using a computer.
