Is humanity getting dumber as technology "advances"?

[SubZero]

Advancement in technology is meant to be a form of progression in our growth, but it seems the opposite is the case with this generation. I might be wrong, but based on my own observation - it seems as we continue to allegedly advance as a people, we're getting dumber as well. Yes, we're reinventing the wheels to create all kinds of superficial terms/things to mask the depth and real form of advancement we fundamentally lack (thanks to crazy liberals)...however, there's no real growth. We're still as backward and savagely as those from times past. The rate in which people are being savagely mauled to death today is no different from what they were doing in the Victorian era, albeit we're just more sophisticated with it.

Education is at its lowest point and you can't compare the quality of education in say, the 60s, to today. Graduates back then were brighter than what we've got today and it was more about content than the cosmetic ostentatious display with no depth, we've today. Institutions were stronger than what's obtainable today and shockingly the marriage institution is the biggest culprit. Music, which is meant to be an elaborate way in form of sound, passion, and depth to show advancement, is at nadir. And the whole societal structure that helped maintain law and order, and allow people to thrive ,is at the point of collapse - due to how we're trying to copulate divergent ideologies. The community based approach that ensured happiness and togetherness has been replaced with individualism. And people are getting dumber by day.

Is anything wrong with humanity or are we coming to the end of an era? Is another dark age approaching because our civilization most likely peaked in the 90s and noughties...and there's nowhere else to go than go down?

All people think the next generation is XYZ at some point. They aren't. People are people are people are people are people are people are people. Making generalizations is something that isn't needed.

If we had the same level of technological advancement as back in the day, I bet it would change your perception. Only reason you are saying this now is because you can know what is happening on any part of the world in seconds. Informational overload.

Technology is gonna bite the human race in the a55. We rely on it too heavily

There's a difference between intelligence and knowledge. This generation and the next have had the biggest jump in available information.

Technology actually complicated things - the simplicity of the ancient man made him wiser/smarter.

And who said a lot of the ancient civilizations weren't privy to the information we've? How do you think they were able to lay the foundation for everything we built on and understood the solar system better than we do without the technology we used?

How come the "primitive" dogon people of Mali knew about the sirius star hundreds of years before we discovered it a few years ago?

I have no idea about this or if it's even true

 

[An ashy lil fap hand]

It's how you use it. Not everyone is deep into the perceived info gobbling couch potato ish. I don't think humanity is dumber, I think it's more afraid than it has been in awhile. Which, in a way, is a return to our natural state. We've built god.

The dogon folks of Mali have been worshipping sirius B star for centuries and they can see the star with their eyes, with diagrams of what it looks like. Yet, scientists only discovered the star a few years ago.

Read about them here: The Dogon, the Nommos and the Mystery of Sirius B

Technology has made us lazy and entitled. Combine that with cultural forces that have worked to make us more "sensitive" to opposing viewpoints and its a recipe for blissful ignorance. We have more information available to us now than at any time in history, but so many of us only seek information that confirms our own point of view. We come up with so many excuses not to examine all sides of the issue. We attack the messenger, we deem opposing ideas as hate speech, we dismiss information if it doesn't come from the right "source".

A lot of people just walk around in bubbles of their own ignorance and block out anything to the contrary. Deductive reasoning is dead

This sums it up perfectly, but I bet you someone is going to come in here like "Listen to Greek CAC pedophiles breh". Smh

You cant convince me that humans today are dumber than people who used to think the earth was flat, jews were the cause of the black death, burning people at stakes for not believing in god, etc...

The average IQ is lowering worldwide...but that is due to unprecedented levels of immigration...turning the world browner...which is good

Richer countries have smarter people and better living conditions....people coming from poor nations...have lower IQs and crap living conditions...and make more babies than people from richer nations...

So...yeah, we are living in unprecedented times where the entire world is getting dumber....right now..the world has below average intelligence.

The Decline In Average I.Q.
The average I.Q. for 2011 is calculated to be 88.54 this is the lowest I.Q. rate in years. Even though we have much more social media and technology. How is this possible? Well it is shown that rising birth rates, along with a constant population rise in much of the world. I.Q. is the intelligence quotient used to measure the intelligence of every human on the planet. I.Q. is used to measure your intelligence based on age, gender, and ethnicity. I.Q. testes are administered using a series of tests that scientism have determined over the years to be an accurate measure of how much intelligence the human brain actually holds. Most people in modern day society have an average I.Q. ranging between 89 and 100. If you have an I.Q. that falls out of that range you are believed to be below average intelligence. There are four basic I.Q. testes; these testes test the four lobes of your brain. The first test tests the back of the frontal lobe of the brain, the second tests the rear lobe, the third tests the occipluar and the fourth tests the rest of the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe is believed to be the part of the brain that is in charge of learning. So people who administer I.Q. tests test those areas, first and last. The rest of the sectors of the brain are meant to test how your brain processes information and how well it comprehends it. Another variable of these test are how old your are, children who take I.Q. tests are known to be better off than people who haven’t taken I.Q tests.

You an agent? Everyone knows IQ is based on western education. Of course foreigners would have a lower IQ. They don't even know what a saucer is. Something commonly asked in an IQ test.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

no, people aren't getting dumber. people are relying on technology in a way that forgoes their natural instincts and intelligence. they're becoming desensitized about the world around them in favor of computer analysis of it, trusting technology over their own senses.

IQ is based on the ability to reason and hold information. There is no standardize IQ test for the entire world.

If you take poor people with crap nutrition and coming from worn torn nations...they are gonna be dumber than someone in the West...IQ has a strong correlation to living conditions and nutrition more than anything else.

These are the same people who flood the rich nations and out bred them...making that nation dumber...despite technological advances in the past 60 years.

People in the West aren't having babies to grow their population. All the population growth in the West is due to immigrants from low IQ nations...

Anybody can get accumulated to technology...we got tribes and shyt figuring out how to use iPhones...
