Makes sense. The sheeple have been watching tell-a-vision all their lives. They are Programed. MK-ultra’ed. 6 hours per day year after year will do that.
The diminishing collegiate IQ level is attributable to the practice of seeking many formerly unqualified students.
Just out of curiosity, have these researchers released their estimate of the average IQ at Ivy League schools or HBCU’s? There has to be at least one special interest group looking for that kind of information.
102 is the average, this means there are gigobs of people in the low 90s. Low 90s is someone who struggles to function in a highly technical society.
If you’ve watched some of the judicial nominees, mostly black female equal opportunity affirmative action nominees, questioned by John Kennedy who can’t answer first year law school questions, this is no surprise. They must be handing out even law degrees like candy.
However in college I did concentrate on "Foamy Studies."
Aced the lab!
(Affirmative action which excludes whites and Asians)
Just don’t say the quiet part out loud. Children from low economic areas tend not to do as well as children from more prosperous areas, partly because of schools, but mostly of lack of challenging environment that encourages critical and original thinking.
IQ is not necessarily something anybody is born with. But an environment rich in learning situations engages the functions early on, and the IQ responds proportionately.
That doesn’t surprise me at all.
Of course, they can't be too smart or they wouldn't $50 grand a year for a Bachelor of Gender Studies degree.
Not surprising at all. I taught at a university for 32 years. When I retired, more than half of incoming freshman had to take remedial math courses. Only 55% of freshman returned for a second year. The university then did more recruiting in urban areas to try to boost enrollment. That kind of recruiting doesn’t exactly raise the collective IQ of the student body. On top of that, smarter kids are starting to question the value of a grossly overpriced “college experience.”
Most of my friends are college grads, I am not. Without fail, there cannot be ten minutes of conversation with any of them that does not revert to some college anecdote, quote from a lecture, etc. It’s as if that was the point development stopped for them. I dearly love my friends, but this is an observable and repeatable scenario. Where one went to college or to what fraternity one pledged seems to be a major identity factor.
Canadian research group, so I have to wonder if the decline in IQ’s has to do with the increase in foreigners entering Canada on student univ. visas.
Society is getting more complex.
IQs are getting lower.
AI is getting more sophisticated and more capable of replacing both blue collar and white collar jobs.
The number of people who cannot contribute anything of value to society is skyrocketing. This is going to be a problem.
Easy. Women outnumber men now at colleges.
Mic drop...
This is a result of the taxpayers having to pay for the kiddies’ worthless diplomas. The college kiddies haven’t done a damn thing since October 7th but protest and throw anti-Israeli tantrums for their Hamass and Palestinian terrorist pals. About the only thing they learned was how to dress like Middle Eastern terrorists and to take selfies of themselves blocking traffic to post on Tik Tok. They all are frauds and azhos.
There’s also the grade inflation phenomenon.
Add liberalism to skulls full of mush.. and what do you get..
These are azhos that spend all their time trying to figure out which of the 172 “genders” they belong to.
We should check them before entering college when the massive hemorrhaging of IQ begins.
