Flynn was such a coping dumbass kek; it’s not like we didn’t have that one 2013 study pointing to us losing roughly 10-15 IQ points since the Victorian period

It was always irrational to assume we’ve gotten a lot smarter just because we can slightly boost education levels somewhat

The Flynn effect is horse shit.

Modern day people:

— ‘College students once stood out from the pack on IQ tests. Today, they're about average. A recent meta-analysis found that undergraduates' IQs have steadily fallen from roughly 119 in 1939 to a mean of 102 in 2022, just slightly above the population average of 100.’

Victorians as they were:

— ‘The Victorian era was marked by an explosion of innovation and genius, per capita rates of which appear to have declined subsequently. The presence of dysgenic fertility for IQ amongst Western nations, starting in the 19th century, suggests that these trends might be related to declining IQ. This is because high-IQ people are more productive and more creative. We tested the hypothesis that the Victorians were cleverer than modern populations, using high-quality instruments, namely measures of simple visual reaction time in a meta-analytic study. Simple reaction time measures correlate substantially with measures of general intelligence (g) and are considered elementary measures of cognition. In this study we used the data on the secular slowing of simple reaction time described in a meta-analysis of 14 age-matched studies from Western countries conducted between 1889 and 2004 to estimate the decline in g that may have resulted from the presence of dysgenic fertility. Using psychometric meta-analysis we computed the true correlation between simple reaction time and g, yielding a decline of − 1.16 IQ points per decade or − 13.35 IQ points since Victorian times. These findings strongly indicate that with respect to g the Victorians were substantially cleverer than modern Western populations.’

1. White people suck at breeding.

2. Why do we keep pretending that we aren’t getting dumber? The youth of today are aberrant creatures and can barely be considered human.

is this article talking about zoomers or alphas? I need to know to know if I should be mad or not.

Also, younger people aren't dumber, the issue is in the IQ tests, they need to be reformed to capture 21st century intelligence

Why are you coping?

Um. No. It’s 100% the kids fault for not educating themselves properly. They look at redundant information bases. They’re not wise. They think they know better than everyone. This is why there won’t be another “lone genius” like Einstein. The mere idea is threatening.

No, it was a real effect it just masked G and leftoid parasites used it to justify funding subhuman education
>>
>>16909157
*masked G decline

Also IQ was always a bullshit manipulated metric they literally designed it to hide sex differences so it's unsurprising you would see all these training effects
>>
>>16909043
>Some victorian guys wrote that their reaction speed was X and that's higher than today's average and since reaction speed is correlated with other cognitive abilities this means people back then had a higher iq
We should put economists and psychologists in concentration camps and force them to derive every statistic from probability axioms until these subhumans stop doing shit like this

let me guess: the COVID generation, the one that had to learn through computers while being distracted by their phones (tiktok, instagram, games, ...), most of which didn't get a proper education (and some still don't) and cheated their way through school, is more retarded than previous generations.

>>16909061
education has nothing to do with IQ

Lower IQ is due to mass importing low IQ populations.. also diets getting worse, also rampant dysgenics within the white race

What pray tell is your argument?

between a generation raised with internet access and a generation raised with AI access, each generation loses more of the ability to think and reason.
They literally have to go back to paper homework and exams and just prohibit all electronics from the classroom. But rtarded teachers union would never allow it.
>>
>>16909254
some of the things they "test" on IQ tests are literally taught in math classes. you develop skills from education, retard. go ask any teacher. genetics might play a role, but it isn't everything.
>>
Let's think positively.
At least 4chan has a bright future.

not with rapeape running things

>>16909352
Please give specific example including the test it came from. Pro-tip: Mensa Norway isn't a valid test.

>>16909352
IQ tests are typically about memory, pattern recognition, mental modeling, and logic. If it flags someone as retarded at these things, good chance he's a retard IRL.
