My opinion is that there have always been a large group of average or below average IQ. But in the past, there was not the onslaught of constant media; most people just had a newspaper. Now we have so much information, that we have to cope with how to sort through it all. That is where we see the dumbing down of the intelligent—they teach them to only read “credible” sources, which they deem to be NYT, WaPo, etc. Another problem is with education—many could not go to school, so it was considered a privilege and those students who went worked hard. Then we went to Equal Opportunity—so all kids can go. Now they are trying to make it Equal Outcomes—which is a dumbing down of the intelligent student to the lowest denominator.
Why would 'they' need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to dumb down society if the 'chemicals' had already produced the mass of people will 'low IQs'?
Indeed. Sometimes the narrative comes from people who make a buck off of fear, such as 'There's snake poison in the water', the contrails we see everyday are actually a nefarious plot to kill everyone (obvious since they will spread everywhere in the atmosphere), 5G will cause nonobots in the clotshot to coalesce and turn into a micro chip which can control your thoughts and turn you into a zombie.
1.) There's a myriad of issues like processed food, lead, chemicals, and shit in the water that could reduce IQ from a environmental standpoint.
2.) There's also another component at play. It may not be a popular because it's mean and unpleasant. If we are speaking honest, certain genes do help with IQ and intellect. Whether its book smarts or street smarts. There are differences in group populations. A group that is smarter on average should be more likely to see between the lines and understand there is a man behind the curtain. A population less susceptible to propaganda.
Everyone is different and there are genetic differences in populations. The US is becoming a melting pot and poor people reproduce at a higher rate. You could argue that those in poor situations are there because on average they are lower on the IQ scale. At what point has a person become dumbed down genetically to be more susceptible to propaganda, division? 5, 10, 15 IQ points?
3.) Negative IQ ethical dilemma -> Irregular warfare. Long term warfare strategy. If countries B, C, D had lower IQ on average than country A which is your cold war enemy. If you could use Country A's empathy against them and flood their countries with people from B, C, D. Then you'd slowly lower average IQ of country A. The Russians had different kinds of psychological programs in the US with mixed success. The US probably had a similar setup in the USSR. Turkey literally used a couple millions Syrian migrants/refugees as 'immigrant' warfare against the EU a few years ago for money. The EU caved and gave them a ton of money to hold. Migrating across the globe is easier than 70 years ago. It will be even easier and faster in the future. Is every country in the world destined to end up like Brazil?
4.) Positive IQ ethical dilemma -> In China they have covert Eugenics programs to breed people with more intelligence. Would any of you deny they would do something like this? Imagine for a moment if Singapore had continued a program like this from the 1920s. On average the people being born there might be slightly smarter. It's a big ethics dilemma but will happen with covert programs moving forward.
This is not to say we can't have empathy for different people. If you choose to stick your head in the sand and consider everyone is the same then by all means. It wont change reality.

You don't need to 'dumb down' a moron.

I’ve thought they have been dumbing down each generation for years now.
