Question

Is the human race actually getting dumber?

Answer 1

no targetbutt we are not getting dumber. To hear you tell it, we are "evolving into a new species" or something stupid like that. The fact is society is conditioned based on the 3 social classes in america. the poor middle class and rich. the poor are the ones who do the tasks neither the middle class or the rich want to do. The middleclass do the imbetween jobs, and the rich try not to get their hands dirty. To ask the poor class what the average stocks were last year on wallstreet and to have him say he doesn't know doesn't mean he has gotten stupider, it just means he doesn't care. What does make people stupid however is to tell naive people that we evolved from monkeys, like you have been brainwashed into thinking. However this does not pertain to any particular social class or even all of the people. just to a select group of people who want to be their own God. And likewise To tell people the big bang is real can make them stupid if they choose to believe it, and likewise to tell people george washingron never told a lie, makes those people stupider if they believe that. It is lies that make a people stupid, or just a lack of interest in that particular subject.

Answer 5

From my personal observation, I have to answer Yes!

However, I believe the evidence says No.  It's called the Flynn Effect.  And it refers to the fact that IQ's are increasing.  Higher IQs means more brain power, which means we're getting smarter.

However brain power isn't the whole story.  One needs to consider if we, as a species, are becoming wiser, as well.

Answer 6

yes because we don't need to use our brains as much as we used to.Washing machines do our washing,we buy food and meals from stores,there is no need for imagination with tv.
