World IQ going down
American Thinker ^ | 06/17/2018 | Ed Straker

Researchers have discovered an alarming trend: the average I.Q.s of human beings is on a downward spiral.

Westerns have lost 14 IQ points on average since the Victorian age, according to a study published by the University of Amsterdam last year.  Jan te Nijenhuis thinks this could be because intelligent women tend to have less [sic] children than women who are not as clever[.] ... [E]ducated people are deciding to have fewer children, so that subsequent generations are largely made up of less intelligent people.

Richard Lynn, a psychologist at the University of Ulster, calculated the decline in humans' genetic potential.

He used data on average IQs around the world in 1950 and 2000 to discover that our collective intelligence has dropped by one IQ point.

Dr Lynn predicts that if this trend continues, we could lose another 1.3 IQ points by 2050.

Remember when liberals said a one-degree rise in global temperatures in a century could lead to cities being flooded and enormous tidal waves?

Just think what a drop of one I.Q. point in the next century could cause.

According to my calculations, each point drop in global IQ, on average, will cause:

1) 30 more Democrats to be elected in the House of Representatives and 4 more in the Senate

2) 7,000,000 people to be medicated for "unconscious racism"

3) 4,000,000 more people to seek psychiatric care for fear of global warming

4) 2,000,000 people with Islamophobia to die when they try to cure themselves with immersion therapy

5) people to start seeking abortions in the tenth month

6) people to start claiming they are porpoises and demand quarters in zoos and aquariums
