Yes.
I don’t know.
Disagreed.
When a person becomes emotionally upset but can’t give a logical solution to their problems, I call it panicking. What would you call it?
A big reason for this is that 2+ year void in education. Not only are we seeing it there but in lower grade’s tests and indicators as well. It will be a long recovery, if they allow it to happen.
Covid impacted the quality of education heavily. Remote learning didn't work. They'll come back up now that in-person learning is back.
"No good reason". <sigh> You're so ignorant and evil.
Just like gas prices and inflation - it's worldwide which is why it's so idiotic to blame Biden for inflation. I know you know this, but our twumptard buddies want to blame Biden.
Well, if Baptist and other clergymen would keep their fucking perv hands of kids perhaps religion would start to gain ground again. It doesn't help that the dean of Liberty U and his wife were total hypocrite pervs either. You want to blame everyone but those truly responsible. Right out of the twumptard playbook, Sally.
He acknowledged the pandemic had an effect later in the thread but claimed that remote learning was not needed. After over 1 million dead in America from this thing twumptards like Hawk are still ringing the "hoax" bell. It's Hawks weak morality that creates this willful ignorance, IMO.
Your posts are all like Nazi mad-libs, Yagina.
The only people mis-managing the pandemic were deniers like you, twumptard.
Why the fuck would I be 'upset' that the world is getting stupider?
It's their problem AND their fault.
Not mine.
You are clearly projecting because it obviously 'upsets' you.
Whereas I have not indicated in THE SLIGHTEST that it bothers me.
Now...answer the question, please:
Are you saying that the main cause of the drop in IQ is Covid-19?
Yes or no, please?
More people = statistically more stupid people? Isn't the increased population the reason for most life issues, like employment, access to good education, access to proper healthcare, etc. Back when I was a kid, I was accepted to every college I applied to. I wasn't a bad student but certainly NOT 4.0. Now, without a high GPA and other activities kids have to put on their college apps, I probably wouldn't have gotten into college at all.
I have kids who just got into college, so I'm currently aware of how difficult it is.
I like also that in Rocket's article there's a link to another article that says that "people who worship celebrities are less intelligent". Twumptards elected a celebrity to the presidency in 2016 and still worship him. It made me chuckle. Here's the excerpt:
"READ: PEOPLE WHO ‘WORSHIP’ CELEBRITIES TEND TO BE LESS INTELLIGENT SAY SCIENTISTS
A study from Norway in 2018 shattered those theories by proving that IQ did not just drop across the nation but even within families. Even the children, borne by high-IQ parents had slipped down the ladder."
The main reason - imo - is simple demographics.
It is a fact that the wealthier you are?
Generally - the more educated and more intelligent your offspring will be.
A lack of proper diet, medical care and education can effect the IQ of your offspring.
That is why poorer countries test lower for IQ.
It is not that racial bullshit that some people cite.
It is that they are poorer and have less access to healthcare/education.

In the last 60 years?
The fertility rate of western women has dropped...STRONGLY.
Less so in less developed countries.
https://ourworldindata.org/fertility-rate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_fertility_rate
And even in developed countries?
Poorer people have higher fertility rates.

100 years ago, many of the poor's children died at birth/in infancy.
Now, with better healthcare, they survive.
Bottom line is middle class and up women (with higher IQ's) are having less babies.
And poorer mothers (around the world) are producing most of the children.
The latter are - with exceptions - of lower IQ's.
Thus...the world IQ level is dropping.
It's nothing strange.
Just simple demographics.

Good analysis. If only Republicans would give the poor access to proper healthcare, like birth control instead of wanting to shut down every planned parenthood. FYI, planned parenthood was where I got my condoms in college, I'd just go in and grab a handful. They were free back then.
Thank you.
Not surprising. Someone has to be on the backside of the IQ Bell Curve, eh? LOL
Also, note the difference between Concrete Thinkers and Abstract Thinkers. It’s relatively easy for the abstract thinkers to pick out the concrete thinkers but the reverse is not always so true.

A slight disagreement. Agreed American kids need access to proper healthcare and nutrition but a problem arises when parents don’t want to use it.
Consider that most of the RWNJs are the poorly educated and/or the mentally ill. Why expect that they’d make good parental decisions when they don’t trust the government or believe the Jews are lacing medicine with nanobots?
Educated, intelligent and successful women know how to use birth control. The poorly educated and/or mentally “off” are much less likely to both know and use birth control.
Well, I wasn't talking about the parents as much as I was kids. With poor birth control education and shutting down all avenues of kids' access to birth control they're perpetuating the poor population issue. More kids having kids.
To rephrase, I support sex education and access to effective contraceptives, but that only solves part of the problem.
Do you agree stupid and/or mentally ill people are less likely to use such measures? Which, IMO, is the main problem.
