Of course it has nothing to do with the mass migration of barbarians. Its hard to maintain the iq level when so much stupid is imported, and yes, i know education sucks here, but iq is largely genetic.
Import tens of millions of sub 90 IQs into Countries with an IQ average above 100, the average IQ goes down! I hope it helps the affirmative action hire that wrote this article while being sub 90.
There is more than the ‘scourge of mouth breathing hordes’ at work here. The importation of uneducated millions and the discouragement of assimilation as ‘selling out’ has had an impact.
Curricula of our public schools and universities was initially dumbed down a bit in the mid 80’s to help those who grew up in America’s third world (think ghettoes). This was around the time ‘PC was coined and reflected a desire to help the downtrodden lift themselves up. It was believed that with a little help, America’s po’ folk would move into the middle class and adopt the habits and traits necessary for success.
It has had the opposite effect. Lowering the bar in employment through quotas and set asides created a layer of government employment that descended into the same marginal function and ghetto mentality that it was supposed to alleviate.
Lowering the bar in education has snowballed into a system that went from the envy to the laughingstock of the modern world. Lowered standards in elementary (behavioral and reading mostly), resulted in lower skills in jr. high. Those jr high standards then had to be lowered because too many POC were falling behind.
High schools were next, as drop out rates climbed. The entire K-12 regular curriculum has been turned into glorified babysitting, and teachers practice defensive teaching, fearful of accusations of racism, or in many cases, violence. In my day students feared issues with their teachers, today it is the opposite.
As you might imagine, colleges eventually raised the white flag and dumbed down entrance requirements, curriculum and grading.
The result is predictable - college grads that can’t compose a coherent paragraph, but are never afraid to complain that they are not adequately honored for their mediocrity, government workers who are even worse. We have failed the young, just not in the way they imagine.
That’s why it’s worth every penny to deport every single third worlder here in this country illegally and start taking the invaders out right at our border.
The “Barbarians” were white northern Europeans primarily from Scanadanavia, Germania, and Goth according to the Greeks, and Romans who coined the term.
We’re getting dumber as a race globally due to high survival rates due to advancing medical technology, modern agriculture, and a lack of war.
Humanity in the modern era is in conflict with Natural Selection.
Sooner or later either due to a natural disaster or conflict the electrical grid will fail and natural selection will resume. When it does, IQ’s will again raise globally because the stupid, weak, and inferior will die off naturally or in conflict.
IQ tests are badly flawed today because they don’t account for the differences in early childhood development.
Kids raised in the first world are introduced to technology and have endless access to educational resources where kids from the 2nd and 3rd world dont’ even begin to get introduced to it until after they reach school age.
The way the tests are set up in puts them at a distinct disadvantage.
As the west continues to be swarmed with refugees from countries that have barely advanced in the last thousand years at all that trend will continue.
Their offspring however that grow up in the first world will not be burdened by the same poor start in life.
IQ is supposed to be about the ability to learn but the tests always favor kids who got a head start with a early access to educational resources.
That seemed incredibly low so I delved into it a bit:.
In an oft-quoted literature study conducted in 2006, Lynn concluded that black Africans have an average IQ of less than 70 (compared to an average western IQ of 100). Lynn suggested that these low IQs are indicative of a low intelligence level, claiming this offered an explanation for the low level of economic development in sub-Saharan countries.
Wicherts and his colleagues examined over 100 published studies, concluding that there is no evidence to back up Lynn’s claims. Amongst other flaws, Lynn used selective data by systematically ignoring Africans with high IQ scores.
The researchers also claim that African IQ test scores cannot be interpreted in terms of lower intelligence levels, as these scores have different psychometric characteristics than western IQ test scores. Until now, the incomparability of Western and African IQ scores had never been systematically proven.
You are confusing IQ with education. People who are uneducated are frequently mistaken for being stupid. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Education in most of the world is dependent on economic class and opportunity. Time and time again it has been shown that when poor uneducated people are given the opportunity to learn, they do just as well as their wealthy educated counterparts.
Exactly. You’ll find the same disparity in the US comparing kids from middle and upper class families with those raised in poverty in the ghetto or Appalachia.
