Are we really are getting dumber?

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 5 20:22:50 2018 No.9649390 no, the average IQ is steadily increasing among humans. The difficulty of IQ tests has to be increased every few decades to maintain 100 as the average.

Yes, the average intelligence of the human race is decreasing. The fastest growing countries in the world are also the stupidest countries in the world; India, Nigeria, Ethiopia etc. All of these poor stupid people in these filthy countries having loads of retard kids, it's literally out of control. by 2050 like 75% of the worlds pop will have <90IQ.

It's complicated. Average cognitive ability decreases. Avg IQ score tends upwards. There are just more people on earth so more geniuses and more countries with education systems that are decent.

In general humanity is advancing though and with reproductive technologies it will soon overtake dysgenics with even minimal intervention.

This is the study I'm talking about: http://www.pnas.org/content/114/5/E727
More similar studies to come.

(Using a baka to draw attention to this post because everyone should be aware of such matters.)
