Description

Why are adult IQs falling? The whole world is getting dumber, and scientists aren’t quite sure why that is, but it may have something to do with the Flynn Effect. The only area in which intelligence has increased is spatial awareness, which is utilized for playing video games. Many people blame tech, modern communication, fear baiting from online dummies, and environmental factors such as microplastics. So, a lot of our dumbing down is down to information overload. And no, it’s not a Liberal vs. Conservative issue. Is your kid stressed out and also getting dumber? Diagnoses of ADHD, autism, anxiety and depression are skyrocketing. What garbage sides are we wanting to ban from the Thanksgiving table this year? According to surveys, it’s green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. Merrill believes it’s not a sauce if you can slice it and eat it with a fork.
