Richard Lynn doesn't say anything that isn't covered in the intro of the movie Idiocracy.  On the other hand:

Your method is basically what everyone always does: individuals select based on their own preferences.

Not true.  My method creates a separate gene pool of non-morons.  Individuals who want their genes to be in that gene pool must select based on its rules.  If they select to mate with a moron, then their children probably won't remain in the Arkian gene pool.

The problem isn't just that idiots breed faster, but also that they dilute the genes of non-idiots.  This is what the Arkian ethnicity prevents.  As long as intelligent people can survive in a distinct gene pool, the dysgenic problem will eventually self-correct.  When society collapses, natural selection will reassert itself and the idiots will die off.  The low reproduction rate of intelligent people will also self-correct in a distinct gene pool since this will naturally be selected against.
