The first time I watched that movie it filled me with fear. I knew I was looking into the feature.
It always was
Test high school graduates from the 50's,60's and early 70's, I'm sure their IQ'S are higher than college grads of today.
IQ is innate. You’re born with your IQ and you can’t do anything to become a genius if you aren’t born a genius. Lowered IQ comes from neglect and poor nutrition in the first few years of life but you can’t raise your kids IQ in any meaningful way. Now you could argue that people with high IQs aren’t going to college now because it’s a scam but that probably isn’t true. The sciences continue to have a significantly higher average IQ than other pursuits of study. What has changed is we are telling the average IQ folks that they should go to college whereas 50-70 years ago colleges were more selective.
Of course, back then it was mostly a meritocracy. (+$$$)
No doubt at all...
Except that's not true from the data, our IQ has risen for decades, as Shapiro indicated in this video himself. From his description of this new study, it seems to suggest that the rate of growth has declined, not that IQs today are lower than that of back then. Dislike of modern trends doesn't necessarily make them the purview of fools and, therefore, most modern individuals fools through their usage of them. I agree with Shapiro that measures aught to be taken to protect and improve our nation's intellect.
In the 50s and 60s the education system was not controlled by the Democrats. Bibles and the Pledge of Allegiance were allowed in schools. Boys and girls dressed appropriately instead of looking like thugs and tramps. All of that began to change in the 70s. I remember because I graduated in 1970.
Probably because the teachers are more worried about confusing the youth than teaching curriculum

As a 58 y.o. I just want to say how thankful I am to have gone through school when I did. We had none of this nonsense back in the day. Totally different society back then.
Homeschool your kids, folks.
Yep, as Scott Adams and Robin DiAngelo wisely said, might be the wisest thing to do in this changing/'progressive' society.
This is actually terrible for them socially private school your kids public schools have big issues
Are you saying homeschool is horrible for kids socially? I’m not fully understanding your comment because it doesn’t have enough punctuation.
If you look up the word “socialization” it means (according to britanica) “socialization, the process whereby an individual learns to adjust to a group (or society) and behave in a manner approved by the group (or society).”
So, really, it’s learning how to interact with others in society. No offense, but kids do not understand how to interact without experience. So, shoving a bunch of kids into a room every day and saying that they’re the pinnacle of “socialized” because they’re together “teaching each other” makes no sense to me.
Homeschool kids are interacting with many different ages and groups of people and learning, with the help of those who have experience, what is acceptable and what is not. No, the homeschool kids may not understand or know about the latest “trends” or the coolest words being said around school, but that is not a bad thing at all.
Yes, some homeschool kids are shy, but so are many kids that are in public school. Some homeschool kids don’t understand boundaries, but not all public school kids do either. Kids have their own personalities, no matter where they learn.
Homeschooling a kid does not destroy their “socialization.” Homeschooling means you can help them learn to socialize in a welcoming environment, where they don’t have to be teased for every thing they say or do. A place where they can be comfortable in their own skin before the world tries to tell them every flaw they could possibly have.
Not everyone wants to or is able to homeschool, that’s fine. We just need to stop pretending that homeschooled kids are just idiots when it comes to interacting with others. That’s just a ridiculous stereotype.
@@dakpickels7412 I was homeschooled and that's really not true. in fact I think you have it backwards.
That's a problem for couples where both have jobs.
IQ's seem to be dropping on TV too. I was subjected to watching a talk show while waiting in a doctor's office. I was dying just listening to some of the stupidest people I ever heard try to be entertaining on television. It brought back memories of Ben having to watch that Hillary Clinton series. Pure torture.

And parents who don't teach their kids anything
They don't read to their children
They don't instill a love for learning at home
Well duh... We're talking about parents too. It's all a cycle, which is heading downwards, towards total failure collapse. But hey, with ecological overshoot, it's not gonna matter anywho!
Agreed. Most parents don't care about their kids'education. Many are afraid of their kids. Also many just want to be their friend. Parenting is turning into a lost skill.
I blame education system here in Australia they pack too many subjects into curriculum that are fluff Example we were taught English expression and English literature in primary school now just English with half the content missing. I also blame reality TV some of that stuff would destroy anyone brain
I don't truly know if Omni man is my dad
I think reality TV and social media is a big problem too, there's too many people thinking they don't need an education because they'll just get UA-cam/TikTok/etc famous, and (not sure about in Australia) too many people making excuses for things like poor grammar. For instance when I was in school, you could write things like "they be walking down the road" in English classes and pass if you were black because the students, parents, and "leaders" would argue it was racist if you didn't allow black students to use ebonics. They also argued math was racist and non white students should be graded on a less harsh scale than white students, which seemed like a racist thing to say cause it's like they're implying non white students are dumb and things need to be easier for them. I was pissed for my black friends cause I know how hard they studied to earn their A's. The grading standards have dropped so much, I remember my mom would get shocked when she looked at the grading scale for getting an A cause she said when she was going a score in the 80s would be a C or B and not a A- To her, anything that I got that was a low B or C was unacceptable, she'd ground me and make me study. I got a D once in math (I had been sick for a little bit so I missed some classes and I've just never been good with numbers), she spanked and grounded me. I knew some kids whose parents didn't care and let them get whatever grade, I hated how she was when I was a kid, but I'm thankful for it now. I'm not sure about the rest of the country, I've heard it's like that in a lot of different places though. Add to that some teachers just don't care and just hand out the work without teaching or just give you the answer sometimes. Plus, if you're a jock (at least around here) teachers tend to give you better grades so you'll get to play in games, which gives the school a chance to get money from donors or have positive attention directed towards the school because "omg, did you see the quarterback make that play". However, I don't agree with Ben when he basically implied most low income people aren't as smart as high income people, cause there's a lot of people with money that are dumb and vice versa. It's like saying people with a driver's license are better drivers than people without one or people who have a fishing license are better fishermen than people who don't have one, when in reality, all it is is a legal document saying you can do X. It's like people who say they're smarter because they have a college degree.
I didn't intend for that to be so long, I took a pain pill for my back and I tend to ramble when I take those lol.
IQ isn't affected by education, if there's a correlation to be made it's that low IQ individuals do not do very well in educational environment; low academic success.
Who knew the movie Idiocracy was an actual prediction?!
It's becoming a documentary
It wasn't a prediction, it was simply recognizing western society for what it has become.
I did!
EXACTLY 💯
Me. I told people about it back when it came out in 2006. Back then either they had never seen it or watched it and called the film garage. I've been saying this for 17 years now.
Nutrition is horrible in the US!
Yes it is. Food manufacturers have added sugar and salt into all packaged or canned goods as well as unnatural flavorings and dyes. All those chemicals cannot be good for our bodies. Stats tell us 51 percent of Americans are obese.
It is a fact that IQ is almost completely genetic. Even Ben isnt right here. The truth is that the Hispanic population is increasing.
I'm sure he knows that, obviously he can't say it though
@@anon73728 The fact that this science is too taboo to speak about is the biggest shame in modern history. Reason being is because this is the data that completely dismantles Wokeism. Woke ideology is fundamentally based on false claims about "Systemic" oppresion that they insist must be real because white and asian men dominate IQ based merit systems (such as the free market). As long as the IQ data remains too taboo for anyone to risk going public with, we are unable to deliver the killing blow to Wokeism. The disparities have everything to do with genetics for intelligence.
(There are a small handful of scientists and public figures who are ballsy enough to speak about it if you'd like to look it up. Sam Harris, Charles Murray, Richard Haier, James Watson (discover of DNA- still living), Joe Rogan, John Mcwhorter, Glenn Loury, Coleman Hughes.)
That doesn’t correlate to the rapid decline. It may account for like 10% of it. The majority is simple genetic decline.
I have had my social media deactivated for almost a month after being heavily addicted to it since the lockdowns (I was completely isolated) and my attention span and ability to focus on tasks is already improving.

Might I suggest uncontrolled immigration as a contributing factor?
Only if you want to get banned and censored. Can't speak the obvious.
How would that contribute to lower human IQ?
@@mynameiselvispresleygirlsa5911 check the average as per country of origin, for the most part, they're not even remotely comparable. When it was from Europe, there was no issue. But as per Canada, they've instead chosen that the majority had to be from countries where it just happens that the average is very low.
Immigration
Illegal immigration
Hence why USA, UK, Canada and others are getting the creme of the crop workers to do work for them in industries that require brain use.🧠
Hey ben i was going to say i appreciate everything you do and the knowledge you spread for the rest of the people who are on here and listening , keep up the good work and you have a supporter
he ignored the #1 reason...!
Defund public schools, and take your kids out, homeschool them. James Madison high school is a great option.
Our education went down hill in the 90s with experimental teaching methods. My father didn't even pass middle school and he knows trigonometry. I see Common Core today and I face palm, our teaching methods are getting worse by the year.
It’s by design.
Well, Nutrition hasn't gotten better in the US over the last 30 years, so that's your first clue
This. The only way to meaningfully affect your kids IQ is to feed them crap. Poor nutrition in the first few years of life lowers IQ.
@Busy Bee Farms the knowledge of it has gotten better.
Your average person's ability to access it?
Much worse.
Well you can live to eat or eat to live
@Busy Bee Farms No... the way we have allowed agriculture to be done has actually caused crops to have less nutrition than they used to have. That is a fact and even if someone says they disagree they are just wrong. While the way we have let agricultural businesses act has been helping them make a lot of money they also are depleting the soil of resources and creating crops that provide less benefit, while we simultaneously have everything else going on that detracts from nutrition.
@@Hyde472 agreed. We haven't let the ground rest and replenish for far too long. Not just that, the creation of GMO plants hurts the environment and our bodies, the BS that they spray the crops with have been linked to diseases, etc.
Such a widespread epidemic of Cancer (and things like heart disease) are directly related to Nutrition, or rather the lack thereof.
But hey, we waste so many tons of food per day in this country that I guess we have to overproduce more and more to make up for it.
Honestly, I think we do need a "great reset."
Not the sort "THEY" want for us obviously.
It will continue to drop as the country becomes more and more 'diverse'
Yep, damage is already done, likely irreparable. But who cares, the entire world is heading straight for oblivion; see ecological overshoot. The collapse is inevitable, and us boomers won't be the ones to suffer most; our children will be.

IQ is mostly genetic. The influence we have on IQ is minimal. Neglect and poor nutrition in the early years can lower IQ. But you can’t raise it in any significant way. Our schools fail to recognize kids with high IQs (especially boys) because high IQ kids (not just bright kids) tend to question authority and rules and are seen as behavioral problems. But even though schools fail them, they still have high IQs. #3 is the most plausible explanation for the decline overall. Stupid people have lots of babies. Idiocracy was prophesy.
Mostly agree. High IQ is largely what determines academic success, so higher IQ still do best academically. What you describe, sort of hot is tick savants, are very rare.
Distribution curves is also different for male vs female. Males are more numerous on both extremes, while females fewer on both extremes. Typical natural temperament also favours the weaker sex in education.
Your average gifted kid will be ok (130s). But exceptionally gifted kids (not savants, just borderline geniuses) tend to struggle with school. The repetition is maddening. The rules don’t make sense. And the work is never challenging. This leads to behavioral problems. A lot of geniuses drop out of school. Traditional schools are designed for average IQ to above average kids.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to "exceptionally gifted kids [...] tend to struggle with school"
Citation needed. If you were correct, academic success would drop past a certain IQ, which is not the case. Geniuses tend to fare exceptionally well, in many cases skipping grades and even then excelling.
Is it possible that some geniuses do not excel academically? Sure... But it's not the norm.
It's the teachers and education system that has failed them
They're busy teaching that women have balls
Stupid people make stupid people. Sadly, this won't stop.
According to my sister who is in high school currently, most of the people in her math class don’t even know how much a quarter costs, and that’s not a joke.

@@anon73728 I'm not sure... He's parroted the education and poverty narrative multiple times, so unless he's purposely lying and misleading his audience, he really believes those narratives.
I think it's cognitive dissonance, as with multiple americans. It's not a pleasant truth, so it's not a belief they want to hold. But the evidence at this point is largely overwhelming, so they're aware of this reality, but pushing it to the back of their head and instead push more PC beliefs. But deep down, they know what's going on, and sometimes the truth slips trough.
I have abandoned all hope for the American educational system. It is abysmal. No accountability for either the students or the teachers. The participation trophy mentality has permeated every level. Any half assed attempt is applauded because so many don’t even attempt.
I don't know about the intelligence of Americans, but I know that general knowledge is below an acceptable level. If a young privileged woman reproaches the radio host for not explaining what the Cuban crisis was (just mentioning the date): "I wasn't born yet. HOW CAN I KNOW?" there is a problem. This is more than historical ignorance, this is the lack of familiarity with the concept of "history."
I myself have been noticing IQs dropping for decades now. I've noticed that since our oldest was in school because at that time they actually stopped teaching in school how to tell time with a clock face and then and then when our middle child they quit teaching how to use and write cursive plus they also started teaching memorization for our dates standardized testing for public schooling in our school systems.

2. Different group outcomes emerge on factors like education, employment, wealth, etc (lots of individual exceptions) but largely cultures that stress education, knowledge, industry, science and set moral standards do well….Societies that don’t stress these factors; huge sums of their populace become wards of the state, welfare collectors or future prison inmates.
