This article examines the IQ drop in developed Western countries due to immigration from other parts of the world.

OK, besides the fact that the article is kind of racist, it does have a point. If we're going to examine comparative IQ differences between countries, it's only fair to look at what effects recent immigration has had on those averages.

And if IQ is an important thing for economic prosperity, maybe it's important to think about what part of the world we source the people from, or maybe at least apply a few filters.

A long time ago Adam Smith wrote The Wealth and Poverty of Nations, trying to examine which factors it were that caused some nations to be prosperous and others to be poor. Well, we do perhaps have an idea what one of those factors are.

It's also true that in many (but definitely not all) cases, the immigrants that are coming from these other countries are not exactly the "best and brightest" segment of that country's population.


IQ scores in the US have been falling for decades
New research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences of the United States of America examined the IQ scores of men born between 1962 and 1991. Researchers found that scores increased for men born between 1962 and 1975. However, they decreased steadily among men born after 1975.

And if IQ is an important thing for economic prosperity,

It's not. You are making that up.

IQs have been falling for decades because idiots like you don't want to actually learn anything. You just want to push ideologies of stupidity and prevent actual education.

America's dumbing down has more to do with a shit education system.

IQs are RISING.

The change in IQ scores has been approximately three IQ points per decade. One major implications of this trend is that an average individual alive today would have an IQ of 130 by the standards of 1910, placing them higher than 98% of the population at that time.

It sounds like you just have to ask different people for their opinion and you'll get a different answer. You're a good example of a declining IQ so I'll give your "theory" some credence, even though this is just an excuse to push an anti-immigration agenda. You're just another Trump-tard, pushing an ideology of nativism.

"Give me your tired, your poor, huddled masses, yearning to breathe free", from Ireland...

During the 17th century, approximately 400,000 English people migrated to colonial America.[15] They comprised 83.5% of the white population at the time of the first census in 1790.

I haven't seen anti-Irish prejudice in such a long time, over 40 years.

You have tackled a quite complicated topic with the energy and intellect of a 5 year old.

All people envision from immigration is a Doctor-massage therapist works a dollar a day and flies to India on the weekends or some *bleep*.
And if we all didn't have that one in mind, the Irish won them that war against themselves. "Sure Thing". Nobody be an ethnic group because we're all that thing from the beginning oh wait, probably 35% of Americans, 40 million Puritan descendants this one time , thats a lot of lying they're up to.

That link is to a study from Norway.

It actually provides evidence showing thay drops in IQ are not due to immigration.

These are just news articles about the previous study. They also describe how your claim about immigration is wrong.

Research published online in the journal Intelligence claims the IQ of people in Western nations has fallen by an average of 14.1 points over the past century.

This study does not discuss immigration at all and therefore also does not support your claim.

This is also about the Norway study.

South Africa is currently experiencing a massive brain drain, with educated and skilled individuals leaving the country every year to live and work overseas. Along with many African nations, South Africa has been experiencing human capital flight in the past 20 years, since the end of apartheid. This is believed to be potentially damaging for the regional economy,[156] and is arguably detrimental to the wellbeing of the region's impoverished majority, which is desperately reliant on the health care infrastructure because of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cap ... uth_Africa

About 800,000 out of an earlier total population of 5.2 million whites left post-Apartheid South Africa after 1995, according to a 2009 report in Newsweek.[34] The country has suffered a high rate of violent crime, a primary stated reason for emigration.[35] Other causes cited in the Newsweek report include attacks against white farmers, concern about being excluded by affirmative action programmes, political instability and worries about corruption.[34] Many of those who leave are highly educated, resulting in skills shortages.

"I'm not a racist, but...."

"I'm not a racist, but...."

Koreans come here knowing Korean, English, history, religion in detail, and where they're going. We saw a white and black man hug in a trench once, For Korean War Social Studies. But I say I bet all "I'm not a racist" is even for or ever was about is to make enough of an enlightened class of white folk to respect black people , in their locality.
