While this is good news consider that it literally made people dumber. As such, 5he average intelligence has also risen again.
However, the people in charge might be the ones with the lowest intelligence now.
Apologies if I sometimes post obvious things. 😁
the average intelligence used to fall?
Yes, indeed. Just read that yesterday on a possibly related report with more lead absorption the intelligence dipped.
could you link it? the flynn effect is that average intelligence has been steadily rising ever since IQ tests were introduced faster than could be explained by genetic variation
I'm sorry, that specific one was just at the time something random that I saw with a lot of other news. So I have no idea where or which it was. But there are enough References to lead and iq like this (German):
(FWIW, it says lead emissions dropped the IQ of those affected by 2.6 points on average, not the average intelligence which has not dropped.)
Now we just have to survive the final throws of the lead brained boomers that have taken complete control of every aspect of our government.
Good news without a lead time.
🥁🥏
Yay! Less lead! But now we have X and insta and that doesn't show up in hair samples.
What about microplastics?
This is bad news for me. Im in the lead poisoning business.
Have you heard of asbestos my good friend. Despite what people think its not even properly banned. Shit we put it in kids toys and makeup still
sorry to disturb your business kind sir
