A new study of human intelligence has found that the IQs of American citizens have been dropping for nearly two decades as we continue to lose our skills in logic, in math, in vocabulary, in critical thinking, we are turning into a nation of dummies according to this study. Right? Yeah, we are. And what's really interesting to me is, you know, not just the drop in IQ, but the way they explained it and they said, you know, look back in the day before we had washing machines and dishwashers, those were manual labor type things. You had to do them every day. It was physical, you did it. And then as technology came in, you didn't have to do it. So we lost a little bit of that physical activity and they're saying it's no different with the brain. So what we have seen in the years that we're seeing the drop, you know, 2006 to basically today, so almost two. It's significant. It's two to three points is what's dropping. In such a short amount of time. And they're saying it's because we don't have to think anymore. We have this little phone in our pocket that contains all of human knowledge. And so we don't have to. Alexa do this. Siri do this. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, absolutely. And so we don't have to use our brains. We don't have to put ideas together because we can just wait for somebody else to do it and then we say, okay, well that sounds right. I'll go with that. And that also confirms our, you know, confirmation biases. It makes people more tribal one way or the other depending on what you're consuming. And it is making us dumber to put it as bluntly as possible. There was something called the Flynn Effect. You might wanna check it out. Google it. Flynn Effect is where our IQs were raising, I mean, just going sky high. And so now the question is, have we reached a ceiling that is irreversible? I mean, is it gonna go, is it now gonna start going down the other way? I mean, I think you're mensa, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not trying to put you on the spot, but I think you are mensa and I don't see any signs that your IQ is dropping. But this is very, this is problematic to me. I see these videos on where they go on a college campus. Have you ever seen these videos? Yeah. They're man on the street. Mr. Joe, could you tell us who won the Civil War? Oh, the British won the Civil War. Could you tell us how many planets there are? Well, there's, I think there's four planets. And you go, my God. What is happening? Can you name a Supreme Court judge? Oh yeah, Herbert Hoover. You know, and doesn't it scare you just a little bit? It really does. And I will say, you know, the one thing actually that I feel great about is, you know, yesterday my son came up to me, he's like, I've been seeing all these videos on TikTok for this thing called the Willow Project, like up in Alaska. What? Explain that to me. So I was like, oh my God. And he's, you know, 13 years old. So I was shocked. I thought, okay, if we can utilize the technology properly, we can use it as a tool instead of a replacement for actual knowledge. And that's the problem is far too many people want to use it as a replacement. I don't need to think anymore. I can just say, Alexa, what does this word mean? Instead of me looking it up, reading it, which does, it is a difference in learning that way. Okay. You and I have done a couple of stories on not just kids, not just, you know, how's the IQ of kids in school? The, how is the IQ of the American public? And you, they read and comprehend the American public, reads and comprehends on a sixth to seventh grade level. Okay. Now, you're gonna get all these Europeans coming, oh, well, we're so. No, you're not that much smarter.
