    IQ is largely genetic.

    Humans aren’t all identical and just different due to environment. Genetics will absolutely contribute to every attribute, positive or negative, and altering the average genetics of a population will absoultely change society.

      The average IQ has been rising ever since the tests were made, the scale has to change so that it marks the current average.

      I don’t think we need to change genetics to get less gullible or stupid people.

          Are there reasons for the reduction in IQ in those places like lack of funds, political instability?

          Is it falling because of those changing averages or its going down using some kind of absolute measure? IQ is just a relative measure so saying it’s falling requires also what you are measuring it against
