Average IQ In U.S. Dropping

The Daily Mail reports that the average IQ in the U.S. is dropping for the first time in the last 100 years, falling from 100 last year to 98 this year


The map, taken from the article above, shows average IQ per state with blue representing 100 or higher (the more blue the higher the average IQ) and the yellow tinge indicating an average IQ of less than 100 with the more yellow representing a lower IQ.

    Consistent with the map, the article indicates:

    Exactly half of US states have an average IQ of 100 or above, with New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Vermont coming in the top four while North Dakota and Wyoming tied for the fifth spot.

    Meanwhile, those ranked in the bottom five include New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Nevada, according to World Population Review.

What was happened 100 years ago to drop IQ? What's happening right now that is causing the average IQ to drop? Why are the WASP states the highest? Why are the border states and deep South the lowest?  It's a mystery, but the article relates that "one expert speculated that a drop in reading and an increase in media entertainment, like YouTube, is at fault." The article also suggests "[smart] phones degrade our memory and recall because there is less need to store information with Google at our finger tips."

  1. Import the third world, become the third world.

    It doesn't help that the-powers-that-be are trying to destroy the WASP population's reproductive ability by encouraging homosexuality, transgenderism, and miscegenation, and by forcing the death-vax on them to reduce fertility.

    IQ is a construct of the white male patriarchy, comrade.

  3. The IQ drop became painfully obvious in 2020 when tens of millions of Americans voted for Joe Biden.

  4. Whoever wrote that smart phones might lower IQ doesn't know anything about IQ.
