Probably more like a pimp in my limp . . . .

Not enough war weeding out the stupid?

Probably a combination of things. IMHO wars are generally dysgenic unless they are conscripted. Otherwise, the best and bravest go off to die while Jody and his egghead friends take over the genetic future.

This stagnation, or reduction in the Flynn effect, can therefore be interpreted as an inevitable plateau in cerebral and cognitive development: just as an athlete’s performance is limited by the power of their muscles, so too is that of the brain (which is not a muscle!) from both a physiological and socio-economic point of view.

The Flynn Effect was most likely the result of removal of intelligence-suppressing influences like lead paint, endoparasites, poor nutrition, etc.

That article says nothing about IQ tests being reworked (to benefit minorities or anyone else).

Google Raven's Progressive Matrices.

Idiocracy: is the decline in human intelligence undermining democracy?​

Is the entire premise is this thread wrong?

No, you have found a propaganda piece of what-ifs.
Note the dogwhistles:

The first half of the 20th century was marked by the controversial use of this index as a means of discrimination. Eugenicist theories, epitomised in particular by the nascent statistics of Francis Galton3, aimed to prove scientifically that the level of intelligence was innately lower in people of a certain characteristic (alcoholism, mental illness, etc.) or ethnicity.

Galton was right; every social class, ethnic group, regional group, and so on has an average IQ, and alcoholism, insanity, etc. cluster more toward the left side of the bell curve.

IQs have begun falling.

Is it because we don't teach handwriting anymore as this article posits?

My theory is that we no longer read, dazzled by all the choices on the ubiquitous big screen television that dominates our living room
(or viewing room, library, bedroom? Maybe that explains falling fertility and birth rates too...).

A big part of a whole generation of American kids can't read cursive which means they cannot read our founding documents. Was this on purpose? Just askin'.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For those watching this at home, this member just closed the circle of idiocracy by again wondering if the writing and reading skills of Americans is the reason for blame.

Idiocracy may have peaked.
The former President awarded the former Prime Minister of Japan with a golden key in the lobby of Trump Tower.

Presumably to match the golden lavatories, golden sneakers, golden diapers. Where did he steal it from anyway, the White House?

Damn, I spoke too soon. The Chair of the RNC thinks there are 81 States.

It's OK, Leftists blame "inequality." No one can deal with Scopes II.
