IQ rates are dropping in many developed countries and that doesn't bode well for humanity

[wehateporn]

People are getting dumber. That's not a judgment; it's a global fact. In a host of leading nations, IQ scores have started to decline.

Though there are legitimate questions about the relationship between IQ and intelligence, and broad recognition that success depends as much on other virtues like grit, IQ tests in use throughout the world today really do seem to capture something meaningful and durable. Decades of research have shown that individual IQ scores predict things such as educational achievement and longevity. More broadly, the average IQ score of a country is linked to economic growth and scientific innovation.

So if IQ scores are really dropping, that could not only mean 15 more seasons of the Kardashians, but also the potential end of progress on all these other fronts, ultimately leading to fewer scientific breakthroughs, stagnant economies and a general dimming of our collective future.

You see all those red and yellow countries? You don't want those people coming into the blue ones because you won't be blue (first world) any more.

Yes, the aluminum in them gets trapped in the brain, reducing intelligence, making us easier to control. If reducing IQ is the objective, vaccines do work, agreed.

It is related to the discussion

Op is proof of this.

IQ is probably dropping because of the flood of shitty immigrants into first world countries.

Lots of red in a certain area. Food for thought.

Finally OP found something he is ahead of the curve on.

Trust us we already knew this before you read a article about it...

And when you eating them thought foods, dont forget to dig into the "why" part... that's the best part of the secret recipe.

Yep. Every time you look in the mirror.

its funny to see these "expert psychologists" post an "IQ map" of the world pretending that there is such a thing...the median IQ of any country is 100...every single county in the world has an average IQ of 100...

example, if by some miracle, a wizard came and he said "everybody in switzerland will now be 2x as intelligent!" the median IQ in switzerland would REMAIN 100...

100 is the average in every country...it is not possible for a country to have 65 or 105...because 100 is the only average it can have...because that is how it is scored

Technology is making us dumber. That's easy to see.

Twenty-five years ago it was difficult get a computer - you had to build one by hand - and then it was difficult to maintain and keep running. You needed to know everything about computers to keep them up and running. Hard drive failures were a regular thing. Now... Every ten year old has a tablet that can do anything.

I actually had to build my 1st PC back in the late 90s because they were way too fucking expensive to just buy outright.

I used to be on top of all that shit back then, could do whatever but damn I probably have a hard time remembering how to install windows 3.1 now days..

2 dudes doing a study does not change the fact that the average IQ in any country is by default 100...a country can not have an average IQ of 65...anybody who claims this does not understand basic basic stuff...

Your timeline is off by at least 5 years.

When I returned to college at 25yrs old in 1989 we were already working with 486DX4 PC-AT SVGA systems that consumers could buy brand name outta-the-box. They weren't difficult to buy.

according to this map most of latin america is retarded as well...


if only the "experts" making these maps knew the very basics of what they are shitting about


basically india/africa/latin america according to "experts"

· Luis Mata, executed in 1996, had an I.Q. of 68-70. According to a psychologist who evaluated Mata, "his ability to express himself and his ability to recognize the meaning of common words were at the level of a nine- to ten-year-old child....He lacked basic understanding of familiar processes. He did not know the function of the stomach, where the sun sets, nor why stamps are needed on letters...Arithmetic abilities were limited to addition and subtraction with the help of concrete aids such as fingers."13

It's not alarming compared to the rate of mental health problems that have people engulfed in their own obsessions for decades on end.

I mean, what good is a high IQ if you can't do something as simple as go to the store, or interact with a stranger in person? No less, communicate something of actual intelligence. You don't have a chance with a problem like that.

Its not though is it. The map is about relative IQ levels around the world, not falling IQ levels.

You just thought you would rile the plebs with a cheap dog whistle.

The map, the study that produced it, and its conclusions, are all disputed and criticised by many experts in the field.

You are a nasty little cunt.
