Human Intelligence is Slowly Declining

[fkknuckle]

See the movie Idiocracy. Apparently it's really a documentary, not a comedy! Who knew?!?!?

Everyone views IQ scores as an absolute measure of intellect, when in reality, it is very culturally biased and ultimately subjective. Honestly if we, as a group, are indeed getting dumber then it is due to the increased access to information and thus less need to retain the information.

IQs are going up. They have to renormalize the scores every generation or so. Look up the Flynn effect.

It's all the immigrants coming in that lowers IQ averages.

Of course it is! Most **** can't even buy a pair of pants that fit them!

Yes, to you both.

Are You Smarter Than Your Grandfather? Probably Not.

IQ scores are increasing with each generation. No.

Ultimately, Flynn concludes that human beings are not smarter—just more modern.

The Flynn effect is inaccurate.

Slowly declining? I thought it was dropping faster than a politician's approval rate?

I thought replacing violent cartoons with educational ones and putting ratings on music and video games was supposed to take care of all of that.

You actually bought those lies? :tongue:

This is another reason why there's no more Saturday morning cartoons.

The educational restrictions on television need to be lifted and all types of cartoons can be made again.

:clap:


The ratings on music only made music worse.

Thanks to, Tipper Gore.
