Does Anyone know some factual or statistical information on american societys intelligence dropping?

I'm sure that there are hundreds of studies with conflicting results, but it's impossible to compare the intelligence of someone who is alive, versus someone who is dead. Also, IQ is an indicator of intelligence, but it's not 100% accurate - if you take the test multiple times, you'll get slightly different scores.\n\nHowever, you could easily prove that the perception of society's intelligence is dropping. With modern communication, you can write/say/do something stupid, and it's immediately available for the world to see.

The American education system is basically censored to ensure that you are taught ONLY what mainstream academia thinks you should be learning. This is a nonsense. There are possibly 100+ alternatives in every discipline which are entitled to a legitimate platform in the halls of learning. Topics of value which are being  suppressed. especially regarding History and Physics. American students will eventually become intellectually irrelevant the way the system is currently grooming them. It`s absurd for the education overlords to believe this can continue. A nation of closed minded robots is not the way foreward.

As far as the U.S. goes, I see it becoming eventually more like an oligarchy. With the "dumbing down" of the population, we will be in control of the power elite. Few people will have knowlege and power while the rest of the population is so apathetic and uneducated they won't care.\nNot accusing, just warning.

There is a book called "The Twilight of American Culture" which talks about technology causing people to lose sense of national identity and kind of meld into a one world culture.\n\nIt's a pretty interesting read. The author is Morris Berman.

Wow! That is a great report. Unfortunately, it is a complete cut and paste from the website that was referred to and no attribution was placed in the text. Here's the original beginning:\n\nEmotional Intelligence: What it is and Why it Matters\nBy\nCary Cherniss, Ph.D.\n\nGraduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology\nRutgers University\n152 Frelinghuysen Road\nPiscataway, NJ 08854\n732-445-2187\n\ncherniss@rci.rutgers.edu\nwww.eiconsortium.org\n\nPaper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, New Orleans, LA, April 15, 2000 (1)\n\nI certainly can't improve upon it. I just wanted to see that the person who wrote it was given credit. This question has been sitting here for two months with that great report as the only answer, since I doubt anyone can top it.

A Superpower with Superfaults. The unfortunate American people, through consecutive administrations from 30+ years past until present have lost the trust and respect of the people of the world. You are now viewed with loathing and suspicion. It` is up to the people to look deeper into their elected leaders motivation`s and sort the lies from the truth. This is the only way. The American people need to awaken from their coma`s, and search for truth. American intelligence is being suppressed by three things. The Government, The Media The Education System. Each one is responsible for censoring your ability to view the world in realistic terms. I`m not wrong on this.

You probably can't find such a website.  I don't believe there is one.  Average IQ ranges from 85 to 115, low average to high average.

This site has some good information:\nhttp://www.wilderdom.com/intelligence/IQWhatScoresMean.html\n\nQuick synopsis:\nOver 140 - Genius or near genius \n\n120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence \n\n110 - 119 - Superior intelligence \n\n90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence \n\n80 - 89 - Dullness \n\n70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency \n\nUnder 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness

I don't know about the best, but I've heard a funny one.  To paraphrase, "a hacker has gained control of satellites and is beaming down mind control rays"...then the guy went on to post 'evidence' of this being true (like Bush writing his not asking if it was okay to use the restroom).  The sad part is, this guy was being serious.  See source link for his full description of what he thinks is happening.

Seems you can do a little research on the Internet by typing in "spy training for kids" I did and I got 2,410,000 hits on the subject <whether they are all informative sites is doubtful> I will start you off,  I put a couple of links below. Good luck :)
