The world is getting dumber

"IQ is falling worldwide"
by IWB

via sciencealert:

A defining trend in human intelligence tests that saw people steadily obtaining higher IQ scores through the 20th century has abruptly ended, a new study shows.

The Flynn effect – named after the work of Kiwi intelligence researcher James Flynn – observed rapid rises in intelligence quotient at a rate of about 3 IQ points per decade in the 20th century, but new research suggests these heady boom days are long gone.

    Fluoride in the public drinking water is proven to lower I.Q. on average between 5-10 points!  Now, you know why it's in there.  Also, it causes a person to become passive, and lethargic ( lazy)..... It also causes calcification of the pineal gland in the brain....

    People in their 40s are loosing their memories and that makes them more violent. Not being able to remember basic things makes you angry. I know because statin drugs erased part of my memory and it took over a year after quitting them to regain my memory. having to continually rearrange sentences because you forgot the word you wanted to use was extremely frustrating. Even spelling words was difficult and had to be relearned, it was a very dark period of my life and I was able to recover from it.  During that year I was almost stupid and could not talk very well. I heard that 30% of the people in the world are taking statins and only 3% will be helped by them the rest are probably heading to dementia and death.

  • People are also getting more callous, more greedy, more manipulative, and totally oblivious.  It's unbelievable.

  • That is exactly what has been going on for decades!
