"So why has there been such a steady drop? As UPI notes, previous research studies have found that women of higher intelligence tend to have fewer children on average, meaning that population growth may be driven by those with a lower IQ. And over time, the abundance of less intelligent offspring would affect the overall IQ average."

This seems to affect many western countries.
Reasons for the fall:
- dysgenic tendencies (idiocracy) (You have to wonder about the role of mass immigration of underachieving poor people)
- pollution:

Occams Razor

Waay too many assumptions to use the Occam's Razor card.

Nonsense

Improper fueling of our bodies is the simplest solution

And the correct answer

Look at the Standard American Diet compared with what humans consumed for the prior thousand generations.

But here, kids don't have that variety for the most part, unless they have wealthy parents, so the dumbing down comes free from public schools.

I obviously meant that regardless of the education system they still lost IQ.
You don't seem to be the brightest bulb on the tree yourself.

Licenses to have children. At the very least it shows you are capable of following instructions and have the gumption to go through the hoops; it would stop the dumbest.

Additional licenses over 1 would be $100k/per child, or whatever amount would keep it out of reach for welfare recipients, but do-able for people capable of making a reasonable amount of money.

The fruits, vegetables, grains and even animal fats and proteins of today are not much like those from even just 5000 years ago

Try putting unleaded gasoline in the fuel tank for a diesel motor and let me know how that works out for you

Hey, you wanna stop crime, that's the way. Kids will become major investments, not a tool to get more stamps or cash benefits to get drugs with.

Exactly. Children are a responsibility, not an accessory or cash cow.

ALL WE NEED IS AN IQ TEST TO IMMIGRATE AS PART OF EXTREME VETTING

THIS WILL TURN IT AROUND BECAUSE MOSTLY CHINKS WILL PASS THE TEST

I can think of many ways from financial incentives to chastity belts to chemical castration/spading to imprisonment. Yes, there are trade-offs and downsides, but that's true for every law. The needs of the children outweigh the desire of the parents to propagate their genes.

Using mandatory chastity belts could have the additional benefit of ending all sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS. We would draw a line in the sand between people born before and after a certain date in the future and prevent mating between the two sides. Test people on the safe (younger) sides for STDs before every new partner in case of drug-related or other contraction. This would wipe out all STDs. It would require a relatively mild sacrifice on the part of current generations and would be a tremendous gift to all future generations. Unfortunately, mankind is far too selfish and short-sighted to do anything like this.

Thanks for sharing the secrets to your dating success. Do these women really feel sorry for you and that's why they date you? Kinda like helping the handicap.

Honey, you haven't been on a date in 40 years. A loser like you has nothing to say about modern dating.

Downside = PC police on your back.
Any solution has to be PC proof to work.

If you start asking $100K for a child license, imagine what the SJW will say.

Then there's always the fall back solution: catastrophic civilization collapse followed by 1000 yrs worldwide dark age, to weed out enough Darwin awards and recreate conditions for a new renaissance.

Welfare recipients with children must take BC shots, or the pill, or the male pill which is in the final stages of perfection.

You get one mistake - after that you must reside in a Woman's Shelter with job training, curfews, cafeteria food (no soda, no chips) - cheaper and less subject to abuse than food stamps, no opposite gender visits to your dormitory room, Chores in return for room and board, early childhood education and medical care onsite for your children, and mandatory, monitored birth control intake.

Or, you stop receiving Welfare and the next day your kid is CPS'd for child abuse because you neglected your child by refusing to take free government aid and can't pay for them.

No more HUD, no more food stamps. Unwed Mother's Homes.

Having more than one child while receiving welfare results in mandatory sterilization or benefits are cut and then children are CPS'd for neglect and abuse, since a person who depends on welfare but refuses it is endangering their child.

A great opportunity to put the SJWs to war with Environmentalists.

The SJWs would be painted as anti-science Climate Deniers who think we can have unlimited population on a finite planet, and that more people don't increase CO2 emissions.

33   MisdemeanorRebel   2017 Feb 7, 12:48pm  

It can't be all carrots and no sticks, or there is no incentive to change behavior.

People happy to reproduce like rabbits and live in a ghetto environment, subjecting their children to the ghetto environment, in return for some mac n' cheese in a HUD unit while trading some stamps for smokes and alcohol, cannot be motivated any other way.

Naah, too complicated, too slow, too costly.

I say we just euthanasze everybody with IQ less than 160. As you said, a world population of a few hundred thousand is sufficient.

We used to have such things. They were called nunneries. It's where irresponsible single mothers would go. They worked. They were boring, unpleasant but safe and secure places to live and you couldn't be a parasite. You had to do some token work. Get rid of the religious aspects and you have a sensible and sustainable system.

Get thee to a nunnery.

My point stands. SJW are a very vocal, very small fringe group. They have no power. They only think they do. They are impotent.

40   Heraclitusstudent   2017 Feb 7, 4:38pm  

Well SJWs are SJWs.... but just look at Trump: he does something that is arguably unPC and the entire world seems to erupt:
- other world leaders.
- the MSM in general are joined in a strident outcry against apparent discrimination, and OMG!... barrier to immigration.
- large powerful silicon valley companies take stand against him
- states
- judges
- powerful financiers (like Soros)
...
And all against... what??? A small ban against a handful of third world countries?
If anything he hurt his case, his own standing, and the standing of the US by not even trying to make it a logical and moral case.

So I don't think you can solve that degenerescence problem without a solution that can get past all these people. Solutions like chemical castration are not on the table. Even bioengineering will be a hard solution to defend.

41   MisdemeanorRebel   2017 Feb 7, 5:02pm  

To add:

* Resident Advisors are trained to advance Social Justice officially at both private and public colleges.
* Administrators are trained to advance Social Justice
* Most States have at least one public University with Ethnic Studies departments that primarily focus on how they have been and are currently oppressed. Almost everyone has a Patriarchy Conspiracy (((The JewishMale Question))) Department (aka Women's Studies)
* Student Groups pay thousands and thousands to invite extremists and convicted violent felons to speak on behalf of Social Justice. Even though most only gather 10 students.

In contrast:

* No resident advisors at any college advance National Socialist Justice or White Supremacy
* No college administrators are trained to advance National Socialist Justice
* No State has an Aryan Studies Department which focuses on "Hitler dindu Nothin' Wrong and is indeed the victim of Communist-Capitalist at-the-same-time Jewish Oppressors."
* No State has a Men's Study Department which focuses on the disposibility of males while even the most deplorable female has her basic needs paid for by society.
* Anybody remotely critical of Social Justice - even if they're a complete liberal with strong liberal bonafides - will be protested and attempted to be No Platformed. The Admins will usually assist in this by creating a special jumble of requirements the invitees must meet. Meanwhile, actual convicted felons who advocate violence won't have any "security charges" placed upon their visit.

42   Dan8267   2017 Feb 8, 9:43am  

- All school textbooks must be approved and sanitized by SJWs. A Texas schoolbook calling slaves "workers" almost cause a riot.

School textbooks reflect the politics of the school's area. This is one of the problem with Texas being a prime driver of text book sales. Texas is full of idiots.

That said, first, there are lots of problems with allowing local politics to drive textbooks. SJWs would just be one of them. Second, I'll grant that SJWs are effective here because it's college, their stronghold. Third, the solution is a national standard for education, preferably as a national virtual university. Finally, the protestors in your example are right, at least in this one case. Using "workers" as a euphemism for "slaves" is pure propaganda and should not be tolerated.

Aryan Studies Department

Considering that most history and anthropology depts can't even openly admit that Aryans were actually ancient Persians and not Hitler's ancient Teutonic knights, it's even worse than you think.

Long before Islam, the Persian Emperor was called ... the Shah of the Aryans.

Even religious studies depts can't say that the Swastika was in Buddhist and Hindu cultures, thousands of years before Hitler.

Researchers Say Western IQ's have fallen 14 points in last century

-----------------

What happened a century ago?

The legal history of cannabis in the United States relates to the regulation of cannabis (legal term marijuana) use for medical, recreational or industrial purposes in the United States. Increased restrictions and labeling of cannabis as a poison began in many states from 1906 onward, and outright prohibitions began in the 1920s. By the mid-1930s marijuana was regulated as a drug in every state, including 35 states that adopted the Uniform State Narcotic Drug Act.[1] The first national regulation was the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937.[2]

Ass beatings keep IQs higher.

The more they criminalize ass beatings, revenge, honor defensive, and disciplinary, the lower society sinks.
48   Tenpoundbass   2021 Sep 8, 12:09pm  

I'll add to what I said above, by stating the obvious, that while they criminalize just well deserved ass beatings. They have decriminalized all out assaults, as long as the victim has the wrong pollical views, and the assailant matches up to a color chart.

Assault = Legal
Discipline = Illegal
49   Shaman   2021 Sep 8, 12:31pm  

We let a lot of estupido people past the border since then. Like Trump said… they weren’t sending their best. Plenty of smart Latins out there but we get the rejects. California is the third stupidest state by average IQ after Mississippi and Arkansas. Go figure.

The government gets what it subsidizes the most; e.g., war (via MIC), welfare babies, mass illegal immigration, etc..

In addition to that, current laws have removed any restraint on wanton female sexual behavior. With no consequences, why not indulge the 'nads? These THOTS are chasing alpha Chad (or more probably Tyrone), fully backed by the full faith and credit of the US/petrodollar fiat system.
