“We were gaining three IQ points per decade for many, many years. Now, that’s going backward. Could this explain some of our choices lately?  There’s a new study out of Norway that indicates our IQs are shrinking, to the tune of about seven IQ points per generation. 

If the trend continues that means about 7 generations from now, we’ll see a serious decline. That actually means IQs at the top end will drop from 130 down to to 69. The average will fall to 45/55. The current average IQ is 95/110.”

 I wonder if this happened during the depression. Poor health little food stress of great uncertainties. These led to extreme politics, and a spasm of genocidal wars. We became profoundly unwise then. Looking at this country January 6th being a clear sign. That, and similar for assorted local reasons all over the world. Well. For a civilization to work humans need stability. A healthy diet traditions intact families tribes. Normalcy. Right now much of that is in flux everywhere. 

So we bear less intelligent children. We even become less capable ourselves. If I we 20, and not 70 I would have a very interesting life before me. Much work ahead. As it is all I can give young folks are my good wishes.
