IQ scores have decreased in the US for the first time in decades, new research from scientists at Northwestern University and the University of Oregon suggests.

This. The US is declining genetically. Americans today are genetically inferior to Americans from a 100 years ago.
It would be due to that there is so little workload for kids, because of calculators and computers, that there is almost no learning happening during those vital 12 years in school.
If the trend continues how long will it be until the IQ tests are changed to make them easier to score high?
Amazingly, Democrats have changed much of America from being a merit based society. They are insane and this will fail.
I think it is a result of missing a year or more of classroom education and leftist indoctrination that teaches anything other than the three Rs.
Explains EV sales greater than zero
This is a result of a generation of people who substitute screen time for interacting with reality.
It’s all about equity. If everyone is below average, no one will feel left out. Or something.
I don’t believe it is genetic. In my opinion, it is the Country dumbing down Americans. No more act sat’s for college admission. Basic studies (reading, writing, mathmatics) have taken a backseat to social issues being taught.
Totally unexpected. At least we’re still technologically ahead of China…..
Covid vaccines? /S
They’ve been doing this for a while actually, but they can never find a way to equalize outcomes.
I don’t think thats the case as much as we are nutritionally inferior to Americans 60+ years ago. Nutritional deficiency, not being able to eat raw food products that aren’t irradiated or heated, that destroy vitamins and enzymes...
Lack of nutritional building blocks are a fundamental component of most diseases, because the body robs what it needs from other places in the body causing eventual conditions and diseases, and can’t keep up with normal body maintenance/repairs it needs to do.
We have less genetic damage from overall less drinking and smoking though.
No, no, no... this is the most woken generation ever to come
upon the face of the Earth. Just ask them.
Helpless is the word I search for when talking about them.
That’s for sure.
I think it’s ideological manipulation that has cost us.
English, math, reading... it doesn’t matter anymore.
Sex indoctrination since birth, CRT, and other rewrites of
history are betraying the children of today.
They graduate certain they are the most brilliant ever to
reach their station, and whose to tell them otherwise?
They won’t listen to anyone other than their teachers or
professors. They are the gatekeepers of their brains.
If you try to talk to them, they repeat “la la la la la
la la la”, until they are out of earshot.
Any place you see a decline in European stock, you will see lower IQs and increased violence.
