I think it is though.

Seriously, focus is probably the most important part in IQ development. These devices destroy your focus.

>>9933681
>How will we survive this?
Like we always did.
I would bet you that the actual ratio of ignorant cattle to beings capable of introspection and self-improvement didn't change one iota.
We are just testing ever larger parts of population.

that means society is getting more efficient and people won't have to think as hard, and that's the natural progression of things. Eventually that may all come crashing down on us, bringing the IQ up again. It's just economics

>>9933712
This more-so highlights a fault in IQ testing, rather than a lowering of actual intelligence.
Many people find it easier to think while pacing as well, and yet all administered IQ tests are done while seated.
Perhaps one day psychology will address these issues, but seeing as it's not even half as rigorous as actual science I would highly doubt they ever will.

This.

Can confirm. I used to always come on top of the class in primary and middle school before high speed unrestrictied internet was a thing. Since then I’ve become a chronic video game, shitposting, anime binging, hentai addict which probably has contributed to my depression and low IQ.

There was recently an article in PNAS about negative selection on some traits correlated with intelligence.

>>9933745
He's still right. I've done nothing but watching/doing how-to videos, math instructionals, IQ-enhancing quizes, computer science prepardness cources, survivalist shit, and how to make gondola webms.

>>9933745

No, this is not bait. Before the internet I had friends, I socialized, and even enjoyed going to the library.

I guess you could say I just could’t adapt socially in the internet age despite being adept in most of the technologies.

>>9933681
Selection turning from pro-gatherer to pro-hunter, where inactive intelligent people with good careers are ignored in favor of active muscular men who don't think at all before acting and then sign it off as confidence. Society always goes through such cycles to ensure that neither of the two groups becomes dominant and that their genes are diversified. It's not a problem and you shouldn't worry about it

>>9933754
I've noticed that people speak to each other less and less while out and about now. Back in the 80s and early 90s, you may be in 3 conversations at once with different tables in the restaurants here. Now, no one talks to anyone else outside their own tables and everyone has a smartphone they are jabbing and swiping. It actually kind of sucks.

>kid will be adderalled up so he never will have a chance to actually develop his prefrontal cortex

A lady at my work talked about her step son's ADHD, and how much the tablet helps. Somebody said in a joking manner, "you're creating a broken kid", but we all knew that's exactly what's happening. These kids do not have a fucking chance. And it seems like there are so many of them. How many of these kids are there?

>>9933893
>>9933893
Some estimates place the demographic at around 12 percent of all children for medication.

Assuming the birthrate of a citizen is just shy of half a populations total makeup, you have 400 million broken little robot boys world wide.

Excluding China and Africa it places the estimate at half this again.

200 million in the western world.

:D

...
Oh... I made myself sad...
....
:(

>>9933985
Any source on the claim that it retards prefrontal cortex development and turns kids into "robot boys"?

>>9933992
That guy was just pulling that from his guess book.

Although lighting up your brain through overdosing on chems can cause slowness in excess. Good thing the medication is not addictive.

What causes the "broken" part is the lack of attention though. Without guidance towards a subject that can benefit them, young boys are bound to find themselves all over the place.

>The findings, specially highlighted in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that doctors must be very careful in their diagnosis of ADHD before prescribing Ritalin. That's because the brain changes noted in the study might be helpful in battling the disorder but harmful if given to youngsters with healthy brain chemistry, Dr. Milner says.

Literally destroying a healthy kids life to make one's failed parenting easier.

>>9934003

>>9934004
>"Relative to human lifespan, this would correspond to very early stages of brain development," explains Jason Gray, a graduate student in the Program of Neuroscience and lead author of the study. "That's earlier than the age at which most children now receive Ritalin"
>The relative doses used were at the very high end of what a human child might be prescribed, Dr. Milner notes.
>One thing was clear: 3 months after the rats stopped receiving Ritalin, the animals' neurochemistry largely had resolved back to the pre-treatment state.

>"In ADHD-affected brains — where the neurochemistry is already somewhat awry or the brain might be developing too fast — these changes might help 'reset' that balance in a healthy way. On the other hand, in brains without ADHD, Ritalin might have a more negative effect. We just don't know yet."

So... just a bunch of speculation.
"We just don't know, this drug that affects children's brains could be harmful!"

Has anyone considered maybe just maybe that the study is not infallible. Or that OP completely made it up?

>Sounds like you're a super-mom
No, it sounds like she's a child abuser, as all single parents are. The single biggest predictor of whether a kid will end up a shithead is whether or not he has two parents. Children raised by single mothers are much more likely than average to fail by every metric. They do worse in school, drop out sooner and more often, do more drugs and start earlier, commit more crime, serve more time in jail, make less money, collect more welfare checks, and sire more kids out of wedlock.

Single motherhood is the single biggest problem the West faces today.

>>9933778
>I have a 4 yr old who talks and makes noises incessantly
And how is a four year old supposed to act?
I'm curious. I don't have a kid, so if you said that they talk incessantly I would just think well yeah, they're four. Is talking a lot really a sign of anything?

That's what atheism causes.

>>9934358
> Children raised by single mothers are much more likely than average to fail by every metric
I wonder how much of that is genetic confounding. The kinds of people who become single parents probably do worse on all those metrics as well, partly for genetic reasons.

>>9933681

The study was conducted in Norway and the drop of 7 points per generation began in 1975, well before there was any major demographic shift. Never mind in Norway. The steady rise of media is to blame, guaranteed.

>>9935434
White birth rates have dropped among all social classes in Wester Europe.

>>9933739
More likely, you just have bad genetics. IQ heritability increases with age and stabilizes at ~20 until the end of your life. You just grew a bit faster than your peers initially, but your genetics still suck, hence the low iq.

>>9933716
IQ is natural aptitude, not "how hard" you've learnt to think.

All 4yo are like this. There is no ADHD, some children are more talkative or more outwardly emotive than others. Parents who don't want to actually parent a child who is more extroverted will blame it on ADHD and drug them up to make life easy.

Increasing the population with an average IQ of 88 and 85 and decreasing the population with an average IQ of 100 seems to correlate pretty well an IQ drop. Unless you have evidence broken down that every race is getting dumber.

>>9936834
Black birth rate is below the replacement level you fucking retard. If you were talking about Hispanics I would agree, but now you are sounding like a paranoid white supremacist who refuses to accept truth.

>>9936838
Hmm? America went from 87.5% in the 70s to ~60% non Hispanic white today and in the younger generation its approx 56% and lower. Black population rose from 11.1% to 12.6% as well. Overall the US whites have diminished by 27.5% in proportion to the rest of the demographic groups. The average Hispanic IQ is 88 and African American IQ is 85. The one thing pulling it up is the influx of Asians with their average IQ of 104-106.

Source of the 60% number. Take the 72% of "white" and get 83.7% of it due Hispanics and whites being lumped together.

I just said that but it's okay that you can't comprehend basic sentences for shit. Schizophrenia does that.

>>9936196
No, it's due to poor people breeding more often, which means more people with poor parents who aren't capable of educating them well enough to have a high-IQ. This is the case throughout history regardless of race. It's an obvious side-effect of capitalism. The solution would be subsidizing the cost of living for high-IQ people if they stay home and raise children.

>>9936834

What truth am I not accepting here is what the current average IQ would be based on population demographics. I will give other race a benefit of the doubt at 4.8% and give them an average IQ of 100 for this calculation.

.126*85+.171*88+.0.502*106+(0.6528*100) = ~96.3 average IQ

That is the best case.

>>9936858
Actually no this is the cause of welfare and subsidizing poor births off of middle class's taxes. Basically you can thank socialist policies for this.

>>9936864
There is well documented difference in average IQs between races. I don't believe I am better than anyone and everyone should be treated as individuals as all of it exists on Gaussian curve, but the average sure as shit will decrease.

Your IQ must be double digits. Let me try to explain this to you very slowly.
Propose refugee niggers have an average IQ of 80 and whites have an average IQ of 100.
If you let a nigger fuck your bitch, he will have a half-nigger baby.
This nigger baby will have a HIGHER IQ than his nigger father, because he's only half-nigger.
If you fuck your bitch yourself, and then she gives birth to your baby boy, him having a lower IQ than you has nothing to do with race, because you're both the same race.
Do you understand now?

>>9936867
How many times do I have to say that the black birth rate is below the replacement level? You literally don't have to do anything to improve the IQ of specific races because they are already dying out, and this is because hood rats are starting to realize that the gubmint won't subsidize their uncontrolled breeding inside run down single mother households. If you wanted to increase the average IQ of America, you have to increase the white (and Asian if you want) birth rate. And the only way you can increase the white birth rate will be to change the cucked culture of white males to stop playing vidya, browsing *chan, watching BLACKED.com, spending less time studying and more time hitting up girls, and becoming more masculine in general. White males are less masculine compared to black and Hispanic males. Of course white wimmenz would rather go for REAL men with higher levels of testosterone and pain tolerance. White American culture is so cucked that not even racist white supremacist males are doing anything to reverse the course of history. Whites are dying and you are sitting on your computer posting IQ statistics of races while not actually doing anything about it. How pathetic that is. Do "high" IQ people like you lack self awareness or are you really a schizo who spends all the time browsing /pol/ and posting endless racebait on sensible boards?

And yes I believe blacks and hispanics are lower IQ on average compared to whites, but they are clearly superior anyway as their numbers grow into the billions. Nigeria will have 471 million people by 2050 and will continue to grow past that. Germany has the lowest birth rate in the world and the only reason why it isn't lower is because of savage rapefugees having kids while on welfare. Whites are DYING and there is nothing you can do about it.

I'm black btw.

Even if it is true, these white nationalists aren't doing anything about it. It's fucking pathetic and annoying that I have to deal with their shit all the time. I can hide their threads, I can report their posts, I can filter their namefags, but they will continue to press. And they really believe that doing this is what will save the white race. Sad!

Low-IQ races (blacks namely) are reproducing fast while high-IQ races (whites, Ashkenazi Jews and Asians) suffer a demographic decline. Especially in younger populations.

In the early days, the clever "beta" male would overthrow the dumbass chad in charge through shrewd means, thus getting all the bitches (something roughly was seen in gorillas) but now everyone worships retards and we have advanced enough that we have the freedom to choose based on looks. Also smart people are reproducing less.

Not him but those people will to starve to death. They are already food importers who can't feed themselves and things will only get worse as the climate heats up.

Europe can't feed that many people even at its strongest and is already facing demographic catastrophe. It's also impossible for hundreds of millions of people to cross so much terrain without food and water.

>>9946036
Nigerian here,

With the trajectory our country is going It's not going to happen. If it does, it's because of the muslims in the north. They destroy everyhing we in the south are forced to give them (b/c the government is northern-tribe bias and hates igbos). When people talk about the war, poverty, genital mutliation and destruction of Nigeria, they never mention that all of this shit happens in the North. So the entire country gets shitted on.

Siblings in Norway are increasingly half-siblings. The farther apart the birthdates betweens brothers is, the more likely they are half-siblings and the bigger the IQ difference.

>>9933716
Intelligence is the only trait that is good to have in all circumstances. Sometimes you want to be big, sometimes small, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes colorful, sometimes bland. but NEVER does an organism want to have lower intelligence. There is no niche or advantage in any environment.

>>9946684

>>9933681
>How will we survive this?

We won't.

>>9947082
equally there is evidence that characteristics common with adaptability and high intelligence can leave growing brains vulnerable to stress and reduced brain function later on compared to those who are more stress tolerant.

>>9947122
Also, but mostly speculation, intelligent spices tend to learn by being taught by adults, which makes babies vulnerable.

stop being spoonfed by education, media etc. changes in toxic culture; the picture of life and what it means right now is certainly a weird one. not really in touch with our nature.

Yeah, it's not like they cause the majority of problems in the first world or anything like that. I can understand if a woman is a widow, but let's be real here, that is a tiny minority of single mothers.

>>9947946
Anon you are extremely foolish to blame Single mothers as the biggest contribute to the first worlds problem. Also you are really trying to push the "BLAME WOMIN" angle.

>>9947950
You misunderstand. It's not as if I am blaming the single mother per se, just pointing out that they are inherently bad for the society at large. It's just like I couldn't get terribly upset with an infant for shitting itself; it would be illogical to expect anything else from it. Similarly, single mothers are inherently inadequate in their role as a parent.

For the hundredth time:
Correlation vs. Causation.
The circumstances leading to a child being raised by a single mother/father are probably much more decisive in that.

>>9948173
Obviously the more people care for a child, the better for the child.

>>9948219
even so, single parent households will on average earn less, produce children who spent less time with a parent supervisor, eat food that is less nutritious etc. even if circumstances leading to single parenthood nay contribute more, we can't ignore the circumstances of single parenthood that exacerbate the issue.

Exactly.

>>9947881
Bullshit. Extensive social safety is a waste of resources. Even with improved living standards provided by the state, the lower echelons would hardly be more productive or cultured in any way, shape or form.
Inheritance of status/profession and a virtual but somewhat flexible caste system is what every industrial society gravitates towards, and no amount of partial attempts at wealth redistribution will change that.

It would probably lower crime though, but given that crime is concentrated in low-income areas, most people outside them couldn't give two shits anyways.

There really is too much to provide, and one is tempted to write to convince, rather than to inform.

>blacks are too domesticated
>blacks have the highest genetic diversity

Typically the increase of domestication causes the decrease of genetic diversity. Due to the fact that domestication is the funneling of smaller and smaller sub-sets of traits for particular purposes.

A more feasible theory would be thermal regulation influence. It is proven that heat stress has an influence on cognition.

>Accordingly, workers in case group were under heat stress with the mean WBGT of 32.93 °C. Generally, results showed that cognitive function was impaired due to heat stress exposure, through increase in task duration and response time, as well as number of errors.

>The findings showed that during the heat wave, students in the buildings without AC performed worse on the tests than students in the air-conditioned dormitories and experienced decreases across five measures of cognitive function, including reaction times and working memory. During the heat wave, students in buildings without AC experienced 13.4% longer reaction times on color-word tests, and 13.3% lower addition/subtraction test scores compared with students with air-conditioned rooms. Combined, these data show that students in rooms with AC were not just faster in their responses, but also more accurate.

>In contrary to the short-term memory, no performance losses in short-term memory while mathematical abilities deteriorated during heat exposure condition in Japanese group suggested that heat exposure had different effects on different types of tasks [3, 29]. It is generally recognized that complex task performance, i.e. two-column digit addition task that requires attention and working memory, is more vulnerable than simple task performance and has been supported by recent literature reviews [1, 2, 3, 29].

autists have too much white matter and schizos have too little grey matter bruh

It would be biased to think that West African brains have no advantage over European brains whatsoever.

But does that mean blacks have smaller brains to deal with the heat and really do have lower IQ on average? That sucks.

>But does that mean blacks have smaller brains to deal with the heat and really do have lower IQ on average?

It can posited that smaller brains are utilized to adapt and mitigate heat stress. But a smaller brain isn't necessarily inductive of lower IQ. An example of this is that South East Asian and Polynesian populations have smaller head sizes in cubic centimeters compared to blacks but higher IQ averages around 90 while living in tropic environments with similar heat stress.

So heat plays a part in size but not always cognition which highlights thermal regulation isn't the whole story but a definite influence. Diet consumption also plays a role particularly iodine as we already know but also Omega-3 Fatty Acids which you get from diets rich in fish/seafood. Which could explain the paradox in South East Asia's case.

So it's still very possible that the IQ deficit can be overcome even in regions with heat stress if factors like diet can counteract it.

IQ tends towards the middle withing a few generations, so stupid ppl are more likely to produce more intelligent offspring and vice versa.
The 7 IQ drop compares one generation to another, so you can‘t attribute that to evolutional drift.

>>9935869
IQ depends significantly on environmental factors until the age of ~4, after that, you are correct in correllation with age

western europe and east asia seem to consume plenty of oily fish..why is ireland so bad?
