IQs are dropping because The Great Books have been ostracized.

I believe that the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is worth a few IQ points…but I am biased, I guess.

Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

No. We’ve changed basketball to accommodate lower IQ players…

Anybody can be a good 3-point shooter, it's just a matter of practice. It's a lot harder to develop moves in the paint or thread a pass inside, for an easy layup.

Demography is destiny. 50% of those 18 and younger are minorities as defined by the USG. And each cohort that turns 18 each year is more minority than the previous one.

I personally don’t trust IQ numbers.
Mine is 135 but my wife has way more common sense in some issues than I do.
I can do the calculus and design things, but she can cook and feed hundreds.
Who is more valued? I got paid more, but
in the long run who was worth more?

Bring in millions of third world illiterate trash and guess what. IQs decline.

Diversity and a crumbling public education system this isn’t hard to figure out. Plus the collapse of the nuclear family.

Confusing young brains with nonsense and illogic is enough to create dumbies and dullards. For instance: The Marxist fake propaganda mantra pushing the lie that the world is about to end in 10 years because of CO2 is shere idiocy. The mantra that a man can become a woman is shere idiocy. The mantra that it’s just swell for two men to “get married” and hire a woman to create children for them is immoral and illogical on many levels. Getting rid of the SATS is sending dummies to college. The study of logic is no more. Math and foreign language are no longer required in a lot of places. Verbal expression is not valued. Minds are not trained. Memorizing poems is considered “boring,” so skipped in curricula. The only thing being “taught” is that skin color in one’s most important characteristic.

Because propaganda is rampant in school curriculum, because teachers and their unions indoctrinate as opposed to teach skills and critical thinking. That is why

Agreed. The 3rd worlding of the west is impacting this no matter how controversial it may be. Stefan Molyneaux has covered this in depth some time back. His videos can be found on Bitchute.com
