The Washington Post reports:
Hollande is expected to put forward a bill this week to extend a state of emergency for three months, enhancing police power to restrict freedom of movement and gatherings at public places.
At Versailles, he also proposed constitutional changes that would allow authorities to withdraw French citizenship from people with dual nationality, even if they were born in France, and to prevent French terrorism suspects from returning to France.
(Emphasis added.)
I feel this would be unproductive; among the problems Europe has long faced is that the children and even grandchildren of immigrants feel unwelcome in the nations of their birth: I understand there are some European countries in which birth does not convey citizenship. President Hollande's proposal would dramatically exacerbate the problem and so give rise to further terrorism.

Oh, but it is. Granted, it make take some generations but, as Rome wasn't built in a day, it wasn't destroyed in a week either.
I spite of "the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health", once they stepped on the stupidity cycle, the Roman Empire was bound to extinction.

That's an axiom, not a conclusion.
At individual level, you are right, be it only because of stochastic variations.
At statistically large ensembles of individuals and given enough time, some dynamics start to emerge.
I promise that someday, just for the heck of it, I'll plug in some Lotka-Volterra eqs, assuming stupidity and wisdom are competing and are "infectious" via social/environment influences.
