That unpossible!
Rather drastically conflicts with the extremely well-documented Flynn Effect, the cause of which is unknown.

The very thing that makes us less brutal — the compassionate society — also removes the Survival of the Fittest genetic-enhancement method. This means that until we once again become savage. violent creatures, we will deteriorate as a species.
Is mankind getting dumber? Considering this guy is the most powerful man in the world, by the free choice of enough living, non-fictional voters to put him within the margin of fraud, I'm not sure why anyone would be unsure. We're getting dumber very quickly. I hope and pray that we will learn from our terrible mistakes, but I don't see any positive signs.
Is mankind getting dumber?
Let’s see. In 1984 the American people re-elected Ronald Reagan. In 2012 the American people re-elected Barack Obama.
I’d say that indicates a rather dramatic drop in intelligence in just over a quarter-century.
About five years ago I came up with the hypothesis to explain the election of Obama... That the Earth had wandered into a zone of our galaxy that, due to some local magnetic/radiation anomaly, represses part of the electrical flow in the human brain. I dubbed it, The Stupid Zone.
Now I find out, I may have been at least partly right...
I’m positive at least 47% are...IMO.
Our first President was George Washington. Our current President is Barack Obama. You figure it out.
But society is acquiescing to those who are dumb.
Certainly in the USA, thanks directly to the woman killer/molester Ted, may he never rest in peace, Kennedy, we have been made dumber and lower class thanks to the deliberate immigration preference towards turd world types over the typical Europeans who wanted freedom and found it here.
There are some communities where you cannot watch Jeopardy because it is impossible to buy a vowel.
We are constantly importing more from the left side of the intelligence and cultural bell curve and only an idiot would expect this type of diversity to improve a nation.
One of my facilities in MN had to paint pictures of toilets with feet marked on them with the big red circle and single slash to tell these morons not to stand on the toilets.
How is a nation to continue advancement when you keep filling it with people who don’t even know how to use a toilet? You can’t and we see that daily.
The CPUSA uses the word “Progressive” to describe most of their subversive groups so when you hear Progressive it is not paranoia to think Communist.
If the Progressives do not destroy us on their own they will gladly work hand in hand with Islam to assure our demise.
Wow is this guy stupid.
People are getting taller, smarter, and healthier.
The average person today would make the average person of the Middle Ages look like a stunted stupid disease ridden moron.
If Mankind is getting dumber it’s probably because of all the chairshots he took to the head.
We knew it here ages ago in a legendary thread titled “Are we a nation of dumbies?” What happened to it?
First, where is it biblical that people would get dumber? Nice to see some kind of reference.
Second, you’d never know we’re getting dumber by all the (dumb) older people marveling at how “kids can do stuff on computers”.
Yeah, using a computer means you’re smart. Uh huh.
I tire of that stupid assessment, and I hear it all the time, including by some too close to me. But what can you expect from liberals.
A Humanist would say, based on his unquestioned assumptions, that people are getting smarter, healthier, and generally “better” with each generation. You’d have to believe that we’re getting more and better information in our gene pool from somewhere.
In reality, we’ve been in decline since the first humans were created, losing genetic information with each generation, becoming more susceptible to disease, becoming more analogous to inbred poodles, dachshunds and shih tzus instead of a better, than to a hardier breed of wolf.
No - just the leadership.
Watching NBC news your would think so.
