[Epikur]

Quote

n this episode, we discuss the potential societal shift towards an 'Idiocracy'-style future, exploring how the average IQ in certain regions is declining by 0.2 points per year and its long-term impacts. We analyze studies showing the 'Reverse Flynn Effect,' debate the genetic correlations with IQ, and examine the consequences of demographic trends on future intelligence. We also delve into how AI might alter these dynamics and the role of modern government and social policies. Tune in for an insightful conversation on the future of human intelligence and societal structure.
