Ep. 163: We Are Becoming Less Intelligent, with Edward Dutton

My guest this week is Edward Dutton, author of the book, "At Our Wits' End". Edward doesn't shy away from controversial topics. I come at this wondering why a discussion of the intelligence quotient going down over the decades would even be controversial. Edward Dutton goes through the methodology of IQ and explains the factors that have lead to its decline since the Industrial Revolution. We get into why this would be a contentious issue at all. We discuss the cyclical theory of history and where we may be in that process currently. IQ is trending downward, and it may get worse. Buckle up and enjoy this episode!
