Depends.

If one is progressive, the IQ is most definitely reduced.

Even if the parents were progressives also.

My personal belief is that mankind has been “de-evolving” since the garden.

But that’s just me.

Yes we are

We are dumber than in my youth....1950s -70s

Its the demographic seismic shift and subsequent IQ lags they bring

Equal in Gods eyes only.

Nah, we’re not evolving, we’re simply acclamating, or a function of nurture. We don’t have to exert intellect, then the intellect atrophies. We are potentially much smarter, but we don’t nurture the mind.

Adam was created with the optimal and most perfect set of genetic data,

and we’ve been losing it ever since.

The welfare state prevents natural selection from weeding out the defectives. As a matter of fact, the welfare state selects FOR defectives.

Technology has eliminated the need for many previously learned skills.

How many of us can hand write a letter with correct spelling. How many of us can actually solve algebraic equations with pencil and paper. How many of us can recall defintions/facts from memory without having to Google? being less smart or able to do old skills does not necessarily equate to stupidity. Common sense is another matter though.

Yeah it is called Liberalism.

The most important IQ is the one involving Survival and how we live. You don’t need an IQ test to look around and see thing are going massively down hill.
