Have you considered that natural selection also applies to being smarter so we can invent better drugs?
It does not — dumb people have the same access to the better drugs as smart people.
A eugenics-driven society where dumb people are left to die and smart people get extra health care likely would be effective at breeding children who are better at passing the “smart people” test, but I would not like to live in a society like that.
If you’re about to argue that having enough money to pay for health care correlates with intelligence… I would welcome some evidence. I used to think that was obvious but, having grown up and experienced the world some, the only thing I see that correlates with intelligence is depression.
You're right, there's no big correlation between IQ and wealth
Failed there too, zoomers are the first generation dumber than their parents
We're full steam into Idiocracy now
I heard that about boomers, gen X, and millenials.
That's scientifically false though, it's true in every dimension studied for zoomers
Ok, random internet person, whatever you say.

I Read it. Just seems like bad parenting and school adaptation. nothing to do with natural selection. Besides They used to say the same about kids in 90s like "they have bad memory" but almost every kids could name all 150 Pokémon just not every element. Not because they couldn't they just dont care. They metric is always seemed skewed to me..
You just linked to an article which says one guy told another newspaper genz is dumb. Then you go to the other newspaper and they link the piece of research which he presented not to a peer reviewed journal but rather to the Senate. The whole piece of research consists of 7 pages.
I'm sorry man, I was underestimating how much smarter is genz than previous generations...
