The fruits of diversity
Many people use less when they should use fewer. Less modifies the amount of something, while fewer describes the number of something. It is confusing because more is used as the obverse in both instances.
The moment that people are no longer protected from the consequences of their own stupidity, that number will be on the rise again.
He used data on average IQs around the world in 1950 and 2000 to discover that our collective intelligence has dropped by one IQ point.
***************************************************
There has been far more than one IQ point drop in average intelligence in that 50 year period. Native intelligence is largely genetically determined just as height or eye color is. This IQ drop is REAL and it’s ACCELERATING in Europe and America.
In Murphy’s Law, Book 1 there us a similar saying.
“The intelligence of the Earth is a constant. The population is growing.”
Has no one seen “Idiotcracy?”
“Idiocracy” is a documentary?
Whites and asians having fewer children?
Progressives and Marxist State Media pimps and whores are dragging the average down.
I call BS. The Flynn effect is well established. The American Thinker article points to the UK Daily News. The UK Daily News article points to New Scientist. The New Scientist link doesn’t work. The only other reference (in UK Daily Mail) is a mention of the University of Hartford (not exactly Oxford or Cambridge). The ‘study’ itself is not named (dunno if it was or Hartford or somewhere else) nor are its authors, the date of the study, the size of the study, the type of study, or anything other supporting facts about this so-called study as far as I can tell. The Daily Mail mentions a ‘Michael Woodley, of the Free University of Brussels’ (Free University?) but the article is worded so poorly that it is impossible to connect him with the Hartford study. American thinker links to the UK DM article with a ‘study published by the University of Amsterdam last year’ even though it appears nowhere in the UK DM article. Again no title and no link to the original study to verify its methodology, etc,
In my opinion this is Fake News unless proven otherwise.
The loss of the classic education where people were taught ancient Greek and Latin starting in grade school. And were disciplined foe bad behavior. Probably has a lot to do with this.
Or the mistake is importing people from low IQ cultures to the point it pulls down average IQ.
Low IQ is ideal for indoctrination.
Who needs IQ when your told ‘what to think’ rather than how to think critically?
World IQ tests started going down during the ‘80s.
This is the windows operating system and I will control the world through this system.
