I'm afraid I can't be much of a help for you.
 
Oh god... I feel dumber after listening to Jiro and Foxrac argue over nothing.

Lol. Both of you get likes from me!

actually it is.

I'll elaborate a bit. your links actually have nothing to do with intelligence. this thread is about a declining "human intelligence". IQ has nothing to do with intelligence. IQ is simply a measurement of how quickly can you figure out a problem.

Human Intelligence is where one's intelligence is measured in how deep and thoughtful it is. in other word - a critical thinking. (or critical analysis). on the average - many people have poor critical thinking... which is why many people make knee-jerk reactions to any horror in news.

Reading food guide, fashion guide, map, climate change, history, technology guide, many to list that related to real life does not indicate intelligence. It only indicates your literacy skill or ability to read. The only way to have a very good intelligence is to read books written by bright minds and deep thinkers. That's why many scholars, doctors, educators, or any intelligent people are always the first to be captured/interrogated and killed in any wars because these kind of people aka "thinkers" are a dangerous hindrance for a tyrant. commoners (non-thinkers aka sheep) are easiest to control and to fool them.

Now, that's much better explanation and I understand about it.

OP puts IQ in mixed with human intelligence, that how I got confused, also I saw about IQ and human intelligence are very different in definition.

IQ can and does contribute to intelligence but it's more complicated than that. what's clear is that IQ does not indicate intelligence but with proper guidance and a good balance... IQ can play a major factor in having a higher intelligence otherwise.... without those... it will just go to waste.

that's why lot of counselors, mentors, and old wise men always tell young bright minds to read a lot of books and go to colleges.

Leading Geneticist: Human Intelligence is Slowly Declining

Would you be surprised to hear that the human race is slowly becoming dumber, and dumber? Despite our advancements over the last tens or even hundreds of years, some ‘experts’ believe that humans are losing cognitive capabilities and becoming more emotionally unstable. One Stanford University researcher and geneticist, Dr. Gerald Crabtree, believes that our intellectual decline as a race has much to do with adverse genetic mutations. But there is more to it than that.

..........................

While this hypothesis does have some merit: are genes really the primary reason for the overall cognitive decline of the human race? If humans really are lacking in intelligence more than before, it’s important to recognize other possible causes. Let’s take a look at how our food system plays a role in all of this.

It’s sad, but true; our food system today is contributing to lower intelligence across the board.

It's true.. if I consume too much sugar... I'll walk around in a fog most of the day.. for instance I'll walk into a mall and not be able to find my way out again..I'll take the down lift when I want to go up... and then wonder why I'm down instead of up... :)
 
Social Intelligence is being affected too.. by facebook. Kids these days are not gaining the proper social skills that we all learn through face to face conversation. They keep chatting each other up over facebook and having "Fb marriage" without actually ever talking to each other in person.

I find kids weird these days anyway. Seems that technology and social networking has made them socially awkward and as thick as pig ****.
 
True kids these days.. the telephone should never have been invented, people are not gaining the social skills they get through face to face communication. Also cars, people should just walk more, they are not getting the exercise they should.

And now get off my lawn :p
