text: WOW, I always felt and knew that Americans were dumb since I was in JHS, bc I know our education system is absolute shit. But apparently there’s actual hard evidence to back that up.
  @10:55- Study in 2019 (done by British Researchers)-
  IQ of Japan = 106.48
  IQ of USA = 97.43
  Difference = -9.05
  That’s NINE whole points, which is HUGE in the IQ scale.
  Also, it turns out, it’s not even all due to our shit education system. Our decline in education began in the early 80s. But the decline in American IQs began to be seen as early as the 70s.
  In the 1920s, leaded gasoline was invented. Tons of leaded gasoline vapors were put out into the air every day, and studies showed the IQs of children decreasing.
  1973- leaded gasoline was banned
  1794- IQ stores of children started to climb back up
  1974- Seed oils (which were basically used as industrial machinery lubricants) began being sold in massive quantities (anyone grow up with Canola oil?)
  1975- IQs in American children began declining again.
  Norwegian researcher found IQs of American men born after 1975 declining.
  Similar studies in Denmark, Britain, France, Netherlands, Finland and Estonia all show the same trends of declining IQ scores. The trend also hold true for people in the same family- seen throughout the generations. Meaning it’s an environmental cause and not genetic.
  Anyhow, TLDR- Americans are dumb and we are living in an idiocracy. And our corrupt rich overloads want it exactly this way.
