I sat and read Euro News this AM....with the chief article: "The IQ of Europeans is dropping due to technology, say researchers."
The big concept? Since the 1990s....technology has probably interfered with the development of education...causing folks to have a lesser IQ.
They aren't saying technology made people more stupid....just on the level of understanding the facts, and making balanced decisions....people are apparently less capable.
I paused over this. There's no personal doubt that German teens are probably less developed than those coming out of school in the 1980s.
Any of this worrying me? If you approach AI-Johan and present a problem....it's probably a 99-percent that AI-Johan will reach a logical (positive) solution...something that I can't really trust if plain old 22-year-old Johan were given the same problem.
But there's the delayed effect...in thirty-odd years, while holding an election....fifty-percent of the German public might have an IQ of 75-to-85, and vote in some crazy illogical fashion. That's what I worry about.
