THE RISE OF THE IDIOTS
Westerners are dumber than ever before Paul Joseph Watson - June 5, 2015 123 Comments Americans are dumber than ever before. The IQ of westerners has dropped by a staggering 14 points over the last century. Our attention spans are less than that of a goldfish. Our children are also becoming stupider. Since 2006, the average SAT score has fallen by 20 points. In Japan, high school students are at the same educational level as Americans with who hold four year college degrees. For 2 million years of evolution, our brains grew larger, but there’s been a reversal. Our brains are now physically shrinking. Not only are we getting dumber, we’re getting fatter as well. 70 per cent of all Americans are overweight and obesity levels just hit an all time high – 27.7 per cent of the US population are obese. Did you know that obesity is directly linked with stupidity? Studies show that obese people have 8% less brain tissue than people of normal weight. The areas of the brain affected by this tissue loss relate to critical thinking and long term memory. Obesity also hinders blood circulation around the brain, reducing intelligence and cognitive functioning. Eating fatty foods also has an immediate negative impact on short term memory. So the fat pride movement, now being promoted by the media & fashion industry, is not only encouraging chronic illnesses, it’s institutionalizing the acceptance of stupidity. People will accuse me and those who make these arguments of being cynical and snobbish because simply drawing attention to this appears to be an exercise in futility. But really, the solution lies in shaming these people. Dumb people should be idiocy shamed. It shouldn’t be seen as acceptable to be completely ignorant of real issues or basic facts.
