Is it really this bad? What I’m reading online supports the video.
Below 70 is generally accepted as disabled. Below 85 is not wanted by the US Armed Forces as they cannot contribute and are a hinderance.  Jordan Peterson | The Most Terrifying IQ Statistic |

Of course it's this bad. IQ does grant people a certain life direction though. A nuclear physicist vs a fast food restaurant employee for example. There is a job available here for every IQ.

I think there was a thread on this a week or two ago. Yes, it’s bad. The average IQ in the US is dropping daily. You know why.

After living in Mexico for 10 years, I was expecting it to be listed near the beginning. I was an absolute Einstein
there. I consider myself to be of about average intelligence here in the US. That said, I've noticed how much dumber the younger generations are now that I'm back. Just last week, the woman at my optometrist couldn't add 50 + 30 without a calculator. She also couldn't add $55 plus $55. My twin 8 year olds quickly and easily did both math problems in their heads. |

My wife and I were in a McDonald's in Phoenix Arizona last week. And the place was dirty . probably didn't have a mentally disabled person to clean the tables or the floor or the soda dispensers.
They did however have several kiosks for ordering. But what they didn't have or didn't have anyone smart enough to do was to bring the food to the table as the kiosk instructed you to take a number and put it on your table and they would deliver it. So while it was a physically new-ish McDonald's it was one of the worst I've ever been in oh and by the way we are right about 29 bucks for two people who didn't eat big meals |

The real issue is giving free money in return for nothing. Send them out to pick up trash, sweep the street, clean public toilets and pull weeds in the park. Welfare should be a demeaning job that allows finding a better job to replace. |

But the women… Maybe they aren’t allowed much of an opinion or education so they seldom have to think. The younger ones are certainly dumber. I know lots of sweet Latina grandmas that seem to be of at least average intelligence. Went to the mall today and the youth there were just depressing. Like caricatures. Slovenly, clown levels of makeup, lots of pride in their ridiculous obesity, lashes, nails, face tattoos, trashy clothes. It’s like the more broken they are the louder and more obnoxious. Seeking attention I guess. My daughter met us there and saw a guy ramming his head into the brick veneer on her way in. Just mentioned it casually on the way out to avoid the tweaker. She’s not even phased by stuff like that. We need to clean up the country. Take out the trash. Invaders, pedos, litterers, carrier criminals and people that don’t return their shopping carts. Off with their heads. |

All the low IQ jobs went overseas. Folks that glue soles on shoes and sew clothes together, that sort of thing. The only low IQ jobs we have left are the ones that have to be performed on site. Most of them are in the service industry. Once AI is mature, all jobs will be low IQ jobs, because no one will be smarter than the computers. |

Always talking to our kids at dinner, reading to them, challenging them with activities, problem solving, public speaking and leadership stuff. |
