Okay. I have been invited to join Mensa more than once, I always decline. If you ever meet a Mensa member, the first thing you’ll learn is that he or she is a Mensa member. So I actually try to avoid being a ‘crackpot braggart’. I simply said something that I thought was in context to this thread.
The answer to that question is: Yes. (NOTE: "Too" = approx. 238,000 miles high, though only in the case of building sites roughly within the Tropics.)

“Another possibility is that IQ tests haven’t adapted to accurately quantify an estimate of modern people’s intelligence – favouring forms of formally taught reasoning that may be less emphasised in contemporary education and young people’s lifestyles.”
Whenever data doesn’t align to the existing standard, the standard is at fault. It’s the essence of liberal belief.
What I gather is this: Focusing on feelings and emotions, doing what makes you “happy”, and allowing everyone to “win”; actually makes people dumb.
I believe those of us with common sense knew this already.
Just to be sure, my comment was odds related, not intended to be personalized. The crackpot bucket thing was sarcasm, sort of.
I raised a son with an IQ of more than 20 points higher than my own and know that being smart is not always an easy path. Good luck.
We’re cool, thanks. You’ve been here about as long as I have, so I respect your opinion. Yeah, I was always in the ‘gifted’ class in school. Best with your son.
Indeed and weed has nothing to do with it.

Intelligent Americans, millions of them, have murdered their own offspring in abortion. Millions of unintelligent people are having kids out of wedlock. Given 30 or 40 years of that, an overall drop in the IQ of American society is no surprise at all.
The other day the “Pluggers” cartoon was a plugger liking to get the kind of astrophysics question he can handle—his grandson asking if birds were in danger of hitting the moon.
Seinfeld reference
3rd world immigration has nothing to do with it, I’m sure.
But if the high iq women were so smart theyd realize that careerism is not the best idea so...
A thousand words and more right there.
My favorite low IQ question I heard from a worker. If we make buildings too tall will they hit the moon?

A liberal recently told me that if Trump is impeached, Hillary automatically becomes president because she got the second most electoral votes.
A real constitutional scholar that one.
“When a new version of an IQ test is normed, the standard scoring is set so performance at the population median results in a score of IQ 100.”
You guys are just now figuring this out? Well, I guess that makes sense.
This is based on a survey taken in Norway. Ethnicity isn’t really a factor. Lifestyle probably is.
