The guy on Varitisium he did some averaging of several IQ determining methods and from this refining of that data the dark matter, as it were, was revealed.
I know the guy works with a pretty nice scientific approach, but there is still a lot of dependance of the data used. I think the usage of social media decreases with the intelligence / madurity of the user. So the biggest % of people using it will fall in that average easier.

American's brand of capitalism would seem to encourage an empty mind to begin with.
Sadly not only American's... I think this really extended. In fanatic countries it is already limited per se. In autocratic countries, the same. In democratic countries, it is being pushed pretty hard. As I said, dumb people is easier to manipulate. Pick a country and you can find several examples related to that without big efford.

Americans understand this in the sense they will go out to discover what to buy, not what they need. It is not a sustainable way to run a country in my view.
Same as above... if it only were the americans... :sigh:

AI may compound this too by turning several hundred million into useless members of society.
If that happens... it will be the start of the end. From all the people I know without something meaningful to do, the biggest part have either psychological, alcohol, drugs problems or all at once. We are not done to stay idle for long periods of time, it is not healthy.
