the same people aren't getting dumber there's just more of the dumb people than there used to be. this is because the smart people have been feeding the dumb ones, which increases their population.
This has been happening for a very long time. Presidential debates and speeches for instance have continually trended to a lower reading comprehension level over the past century. If they’re being honest, it’s been happening since the Agricultural Revolution. Industrial Revolution and modern medicine accelerated the pace. Vaccines and plastics are yet another layer. The brownification of the West is also a factor that needs to be controlled for because niggers and spics and inbred arabs drag down national averages.
Convenience will do that, why should they seek knowledge when a machine will do everything they need at speeds that the human mind couldn't replicate even on a rain man level. It doesn't surprise me one bit that people will come full circle, Wall E was prophetic.

Raw intelligence is tied to reaction times. Brian signal speed.
Another performance peak around early 1970s due to thinking skills not raw speed. And then a decline
