>>12789266The impact technology is going to have on the way humans process information, compounded with the divergence of specialization, compounded on the effects it has on match making (tinder, ai, media), is going to be much more significant than the result of some paper test.
People process more information now anyways, you could argue that is the majority cause. First they were listening to radio, then they were googling.
I don’t think IQ changed from that period due to genetics, it was all environment, and the effect of that environmental change in the next 50 years is gonna be a lot harder to measure (it’s gonna diverge, plateau, etc).
The only thing you’re seeing in the graph is the “increase in information an average person sees on a daily basis”. We’re maxed out with iPhones in our hands now. Now you will start seeing the real “IQ” results (which is a pretty contrived test IMO anyways).
