Gen Z is now officially the only generation to measure lower than their predecessors in intelligence. A neuroscientist says this is because short videos and summarised texts are being increasingly relied on, but this is not how the human brain works.

Idiocracy, here we come.

    The idea that there’s no reason, and they’re less intelligent inherently with no causes is an entirely new kind of magical thinking.

      Yeah. Go ahead and disregard proof. And in doing so, you’re just proving them right.

        You haven’t provided any proof to disregard.
