Extensive research points to the fact that since the turn of the 21st century many of the economically advance nations have seen an increase in falling IQ levels. Scores in such countries like Great Brittan, France, Australia have markedly declined, to include the United States. This trend is worrisome indeed. Considering the correlation with IQ scores to educational achievement and economic advancement. It offers a very diminished and daunting outlook to our future as this trend will only continue to rise. What’s the cause of this ‘global dumbing.’ Research points to several reasons. Lower IQ families having more children and high IQ families having less. Immigrants coming into the country with lower IQs then that of the native population. Or could it be the abundance of less intellectual demanding jobs that have catered to lower educational citizens making work less demanding and the brain utilization weaken. Some progressives say global warming is the cause of this making food less nutritious. Those are all plausible arguments, however I don’t buy any of it. The rapid decrease in IQ scores and the decreasing intellectual ability of today’s society is to be blamed on the information- age. Take smart phones for example. Anytime your at a store or a restaurant, how many people are imbedded into their phones and so ingrained in the small computer device that they can’t even hold a conversation with their company. I’ve been to restaurants and seen an entire family of 6 glued to their phones like it was some sort of addiction they couldn’t put down which it truly is. With the copious social medial applications like Facebook, snap chat, Instagram, so many young people live in a alternative reality society where for hours and hours they use these devices to pass time and to glorify themselves ultimately atrophying their brain. Unfortunately, all the tech advancements and achievements have only allowed us to become dumber and waste away our brain cells. Great ideas and inventions are scarce. People rely on their phones and their social media followers to live day to day. Everything is computerized. Clerks can’t count change without a computer telling them how much they owe and kids haven’t even heard of cursive. This is the era we live in. A society where people concentrate their brain cells on how to filter a picture to look good rather then how to make a contribution to society. All this complacent state of mind will only decrease future scientific breakthroughs and encourage stagnant economies. Let’s take a look back and magnify some examples of the transition into this ‘global dumbing’ era. Back in the “old” days, prominent tv shows consisted of Perry Mason, twilight zone, Dick Van Dyke, or the Rifle Man. Shows that made you think or shows that had a positive purpose and positive message. Nowadays, all we see our disgusting reality shows, Keeping up with the Kardashians, and repellent comedians that take up late night TV. Shows that have no positive impact on society and portray to individuals that’s what life is like and that’s what it means to live and make contributions to society. We used to listen to music like Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. Nowadays radio stations are flooded with derogatory garbage talking about literally nothing if you can even understand them. Musicians, or so they call themselves, have become acting politicians without knowing a single thing. It’s no wonder why we continue to get dumber as a society with all the idiotic influences that are available on the media. Let’s look at the pollical side. Look at this country when people like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or Thomas Jefferson lead this country. Compare them with the pedophilia of Bill Clinton, the narcissism of Barrack Obama, the the corruption of Joe Biden. Or how about any of the outrageous and ridiculous statements by those like AOC. Do you see the difference? Let’s take architecture. The Golden Gate Bridge, the St. Louis Arch, the Vanderbilt Mansion, and the Statue Of Liberty. Where are the modern day equivalents? Nothing except the graffiti and vandalism of it. With the decades of progressivism being portrayed we are no longer concerned about making positive contributions to society and coming up with new ideas that will benefit humanity. Rather we are in an era where we can only argue how many genders there are and how many ways we can deem someone a racist. So, with that said ‘global dumbing’ is among us and has been for a long time. The technological age to include media, smart phones among others have completely diminished us from using our brains in a positive way. We continue to become dumber and continue to rely on a electronic devise for our own sanity. Thus, welcome to the ‘global dumbing’ era
