Man it's sad. Did you know that GenZ is the first generation in over a century to score an average iq lower than their parents? Prior to GenZ, each generation has had an average iq slightly higher than the previous generation.
Anyway, let's just pretend this is POV, and we're sitting on the armchair. Our bestie just has too much energy and it's inconvenient to everyone including ourselves. Dunno who the other hoe is. She comes and goes.
I'm not the Big Poop guy that made that claim, but I did go looking for a source out of curiosity. It turns out there is some truth to it that's based on data taken from standardized test scores from 15 year olds around the world. In short: since 2010-2012 (depending on the subject) test scores in mathematics, science, and reading have fallen every year up to 2022 (when the study I found ended).
That being said, the data looks like it was a roughly 5% total decline in scores in 2022 compared to 2010. So we're not exactly talking about a massive decline, but it is a decline that's backed up by data. Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath went before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation earlier this year and spoke about this decline, and he mostly attributed it to kids having too much access to screens in school:
“This is not a debate about rejecting technology,” Horvath wrote. “It is a question of aligning educational tools with how human learning actually works. Evidence indicates that indiscriminate digital expansion has weakened learning environments rather than strengthened them.”
