IQ scores have generally increased over the 20th century due to the Flynn Effect, with some recent evidence of plateauing or mild declines in certain developed countries.
Historical Trends: The Flynn Effect
The Flynn Effect describes the long-term rise in IQ scores observed across many countries during the 20th century, first documented by James Flynn. Average IQ scores increased roughly 3 points per decade in the United States, with similar trends in Western Europe, Japan, and South Korea
Wikipedia
For example, British children’s scores on the Raven’s Progressive Matrices rose by 14 points between 1942 and 2008
Wikipedia
These gains were observed across fluid intelligence (problem-solving and reasoning) and crystallized intelligence (knowledge and vocabulary), as well as improvements in attention and memory
Wikipedia
Generational Comparisons
IQ scores are standardized so that the average is always 100, which complicates direct comparisons across generations. When older tests are administered to newer generations, raw scores are consistently higher, often by 10–15 points, indicating that modern individuals outperform previous generations on the same test
neurolaunch.com
Factors contributing to these gains include better nutrition, improved education, reduced exposure to toxins, and more cognitively stimulating environments
humanprogress.org
Generation X and Millennials benefited from lower lead exposure, higher formal education, and early exposure to abstract thinking through technology
neurolaunch.com
Recent Trends and Reversals
Some studies suggest a plateau or mild decline in IQ scores in certain developed countries since the 1990s, sometimes called the reverse Flynn Effect. For instance, Scandinavian countries like Norway and Denmark have documented declines in military conscript IQ scores for cohorts born after the 1970s and 1990s, respectively
neurolaunch.com
neurolaunch.com
. Causes may include cultural shifts, changes in education, or environmental factors, though the overall global trend still shows long-term gains
Wikipedia
Implications
While IQ scores have risen over time, it remains controversial whether these gains reflect true increases in intelligence or improvements in test-taking skills and environmental factors
Wikipedia
IQ remains a useful measure for cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, reasoning, and memory, but it does not capture creativity, emotional intelligence, or practical skills
jackvaughn.co.uk
Understanding these trends is important for education, public policy, and interpreting generational differences in cognitive performance.
In summary, IQ has increased steadily over the past century due to environmental and educational improvements, with some recent evidence of slowing or slight declines in certain regions, highlighting the complex interplay between biology, culture, and measurement methods

@nprofile…3u6l @nprofile…ypnk Yea, I don't speak to God via third parties, and I don't think humans even understand what life is let alone death. We have agency, God has given us that because love requires free will, and unfortunately sometimes free will involves bad choices, but you don't kill your children because they make a bad choice, you try to teach them to make better ones.

@nprofile…p4t6 I understand what you are saying, and the answer is no I don't read the headlines because I understand their intent the same way that you do.
However, I don't believe someone else's lack of ethics justify mine, so rather than try to imitate an unethical if affective method of operation, I choose to create my own social media nodes and try to allow them to actually be effective for those who prefer honest human communications.
Friendica in particular I founded this node in 2020 after being excised from Farcebook for challenging the mainstream narrative on the death vax. I was willing to throw effort and resources into it and today in spite of being one server of about 650 or so friendica nodes, it carries 17% of the friendica traffic.
I did went with friendica because it allowed long format posts and discussions like facebook and with the bookface schema looks like facebook only works better.
So I've tried to approach this ethically and I think my traffic shows my
approach is justified.

Seriously, I spent 30 years suffering from severe anxiety, probably as many different SSRI's and NSRI's, what finally got me out of it was that I was offered a mindfulness class by a Buddhist group, took them up on their offer, and within one month (4 hours worth of classes) went off my Paxil cold turkey never looked back and in the 14 or so years since haven't suffered anxiety. Not saying what worked for me will work for you but the investment was minimal and the rewards huge so worth checking out.

@nprofile…g804 I don't think my take is negative.
I see it this way, we have intellectual bandwidth, finite communications bandwidth, finite resources for addressing real issues affecting our well being.
Social media tends to be driven more by emotion than intellect, if we allow it to be, but someone getting their dopamine hit isn't going to benefit society.
Addressing real problems such as how do we resolve disputes without violence, or how are we going to grow and transport our food when the economically recoverable fossil fuels run out, these things are worthy of our thoughts.

What I see is a pie too small for the people, with everyone fighting over dwindling pieces and those pieces dwindling further because of the pie, energy, resources, and human lives, being spent on said fight when we now have at our disposal both the technology and the resources to make a pie large enough to satiate us all.

We need to divert this money wasted on military adventurism and instead put it into infrastructure, electrify our railways, consider a dual electric train and super-grid corridor, the biggest cost of either project is acquiring the land so why not combine them into one?
We need real energy solutions to provide base load energy, wind and solar don't do this, geothermal could, and we could tap enough geothermal to power the entire nation from Yellowstone region alone.
