I am struggling to understand what you are saying. If you don't mind, let's start with "mass psychology", I think that might be the key for me.
more humans in one place tend to be dumber than humans as individuals. Think mass panics, but also fascism and other things where people lost their sensible minds in a large group of people. In the same styl more people mean more people to convince of new concepts that previously were rejected.
So the concept that humanity as a whole is more intelligent, while the individuals are not, does not hold well imo.
