Research Confirms It: We Really Are Getting Dumber
Trump is not just the worst president we have ever had, he is also, by far, the dumbest president we've ever had.
He speaks with a third grade vocabulary, and says the dumbest things about topics he knows nothing about, yet that does not stop him from speaking authoritatively.
Trump won less than half the popular vote. Consider the fact that half the country is below average in intelligence.
And consider that Americans are getting dumber every year. These dummies get their "facts" from social media without engaging two brain cells in critical thinking.
Key Takeaways
- IQ levels have been falling since 1975, reversing a century-long trend of rising intelligence quotients identified as the Flynn Effect.
- Research indicates this decline in IQ scores is due to environmental factors rather than genetic changes, with trends observed in Norway, Britain, France and the Netherlands.
- Potential causes for this decline include changes in education systems, nutrition, media consumption and technology use, with studies suggesting even the presence of a smartphone can impact cognitive capacity.
