The "smart" genes will probably decrease as its common that most geeks/nerds find it harder to find suitable mates (unless they have those high-paying jobs ) and also due to the fact that smart couples usually have less children.
The way humans focus on saving lives no matter what and survival, its easy to think that a LOT of genes that we may prefer to "take a hike" will, instead, be sticking around for the long run.
