It is a necessary consequence of the breeding patterns since the industrial revolution. It used to be that the wealthier people tended to reproduce at a much higher rate than poorer people (wealth being a proxy for intelligence, health etc.), thus there was a general eugenic effect happening over time. Eventually, they got so smart they created civilization in the blink of an eye. But with it means there is no longer any selection pressure--in fact, it has reversed; it is well known that dumb people are far out-reproducing smart people. And this has been happening since at least the mid-1800s in European societies. The result necessarily MUST be a decrease in true general intelligence over time.

In total, this is commensurate with the equivalent of a drop in true IQ of about 10-15 points since the mid-1800s. (Flynn Effect muddles this, but Flynn himself would agree that that is not indicative of an increase in g) If you understand how normal distributions work, you know the implications of this are MASSIVE. This also explains the strange observation that Europeans monopolized intellectual achievement for the past 500 years, yet the East Asians score higher on IQ now than do Europeans -- they have simply been under this dysgenic effect for far less time. Eventually, society MUST collapse due to it being unable to maintain the same high level of development (See: Africa). Unless this is addressed. Hitler addressed this topic in his writings (Mein Kampf, Volume I, Chapter 3), and as usual he was right
>East Asians score higher on IQ now than do Europeans -- they have simply been under this dysgenic effect for far less time. This is a good point on them having less time spent under dysgenic conditions. I wonder how much of it is that, and how much of it is them selectively testing only people living in wealthy cities. I think it most likely that the 105 IQ number assigned to China is derived from the top 1% of the population, while testing at the 50th percentile would yield a number closer to the 91-100 range.
We are getting dumber, but human directed eugenics is highly susceptible to abuse and plain stupidity. It would also require technocrats gaining authority over everyone’s reproductive systems.

AND THAT'S A GOOD THING

The vaxx happened people took it, IQ is confirmed at glass of water level in the UK.

>population grows exponentially holy shit OP you might be on to something with this one

>they have simply been under this dysgenic effect for far less time Or you know, past a certain value IQ has no direct relation to intellectual achievement and other factors are at play

haha right??

genius sperm donation therapy aka eutelegenesis, can fix this problem.

>other factors are at play Such as men being completely pushed out of Western society. The average neat today would have been an engineer 100 years ago. Instead of society educating 100 men in STEM, they've decided to educate 10 men in STEM, 20 men in bullshit, and 160 women in bullshit. Of those 10 men in STEM, 3 of them are European men. Of those 10 productive degrees holders, they must distribute their earning power among the other 180 of the 'elite class'.
The average Chinese that doesn’t migrate to the West is dumb as fuck

Thomas Diaz
>The West is Getting Dumber Better bring in more niggers to bump up those numbers.
Carson Turner
Monogamy has been practiced since much before than 1800s. It's just increase of certain low iq demographics bringing the number down.
Carson Rodriguez
It's almost like flooding your countries with low iq niggers and sandniggers with traitor white women breeding with them to get back at white men also punishing young white men with anti white job recruitment and progression makes your country intelligence drop.
Gavin Hughes
Okay, but countries around China like Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore get similar values. They share similar genetic makeup. Are those numbers cooked up as well?
Luis Torres
And that's because of socialist government, tax the middle class, make help programs for poor and lazy, people don't find working attractive when they can just get gibs from government. Then you got no risk investments, easy way to live above your paygrade by loans that will be paid in future and right now are a barring on society when they create inflation. Being rich or hard working is no longer smart or attractive position to be at, you will never interesting for government and they will only make your life harder. No women seeks stable hard working man anymore when they can just live off gov checks or loan themselves hundred thousands dollars apartments where she will breed like idiot with some junkie. The government and social economics of last 50 years have been disaster and ruined every single productive part of our civilization. You can breed and government will babysit you and your child.
Aiden Jenkins
No, gov just need to stop enabling the poor and lazy, stupid won't breed if they can't afford the child and house, meanwhile you get the opposite. Educated idiots just had their student loans cancelled and now they're ready debt-free to breed with another loan for their house, just sad reality.

almost like it’s by design or something

>The West is Getting Dumber Civilization is self sterilizing >Eventually, society MUST collapse yes just as every man dies or even every plant so the same is true for every high culture. They are organic in nature just like a man. >Unless this is addressed. The dustbin of history awaits us all. The real question is not how one can forestall the end but rather what one can do with what time one has left. Yockey distinguishes between fate and destiny. Fate is outside your control, you are fated to die, but destiny. You can be destined to be a great piano player but damage your hands and prevent this destiny from playing out. So the question becomes not how death should be avoided but how does western man fulfill his destiny before he expires. How does he free himself from the parasite, the culture distorter.
The 50th percentile of IQ in each of those countries is going to live in a high density urban area - which requires a high IQ to earn enough to simply live, let alone reproduce. So those IQ numbers are accurate. I was looking specifically at China because they claim 105 IQ, yet the super majority of their population has been subsistence farmers until the past decade.
To simplify, in a rural economy, children can labor - having children increases your wealth in the short term. In an urban economy, children cannot labor, they must be specialized - having children decreases your wealth in the short term.
