Regardless of an IQ gap, they have definitely dumbed down education to accommodate the bottom quartile.
Pretty decent article that explains the changes to IQ scores over time. Every time when one of these threads pop up on FR there will be comments about education. Just to set the facts straight, education has no direct influence on IQ. If that was the case, then you would see education products all over the place with claims of increasing IQ. I know I would be a consumer of such products, but they simply do not exist. Don’t conflate knowledge with intelligence, either.
Yah, dem white boys be getting dummer. Jus’ look at Joe Bidem!
I wade through the inner city kids, that article doesn’t fly.
Most are slightly above hoots and grunts for a “language”
The author, Steve Sailer, is black. Give him credit for guts.
“e.g., Michael Jordan and most other mainstream African-Americans) averaged only 83.0”
Michael Jordan’s IQ is definitely higher than that. A friend of mine attended high school with him and said MJ was actually quite smart academically. And this guy was something of a racist who never would have said this if it wasn’t true. Of course MJ was obviously an anomaly in many areas.
post–George Floyd murder
WRONG.
The autopsy results show he died by overdose of illegal drugs.
Due to modern transportation, travel, the internet, and stratification that didn't exist generations ago, smart men find smart women and have smarter children.
On the opposite end of the scale, the ignorant are breeding with the ignorant on the taxpayer dime like never before seen, and having even more ignorant offspring.
The highest I Q people I know are idiots. The rest are running for the bottom.
Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to be a documentary....was it?!
