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.

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

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.

Does this track the change of IQ of areas that have very little immigration compared to those with high immigration?

We are stupid compared to our founding fathers.

We are graduating people form school that can not read or write.

Although it was considered a conspiracy theory at the time, a Harvard study has confirmed that Fluoridation of the water supply has contributed to a reduction in the IQ of children.

In some groups IQs are going down. In others IQs are going up. In evolution variation is the name of the game.

High IQs tend to match-up with other high IQs. Low IQs tend to match with other low IQs.

I do believe the low IQs are currently reproducing at a higher rate than the high IQs.

Maybe in the future the groups will be different enough to be identified as different species. Maybe one group will destroy the other. It’s happened before. It will happen again.

Government intervention has sped up the process of lowering IQs in at least a couple of ways: 1) They have decimated the effectiveness of schools purposefully. 2)They have made it possible, and vigorously encouraged, idiots to procreate at much faster rates than most intelligent people choose to do. Therefore, average IQs are falling.

Stupid people reproduce in greater numbers than do intelligent people. In a world of welfare payments on the one hand and third world necessity for large numbers of children to tend the farm and guarantee that some of your bloodline survives, declining numbers of intelligent people is possible. Intelligence these days is less necessary for survival. However when TSHTF that will reverse.
