No.

So basically, since like the 1800s, since like we started like measuring IQ at a large level, every generation is roughly 10 points higher than the previous generation.

So every 30 years, it goes up by 10 points or every 10 years, it goes up three points, which is kind of cool because that means that the average person today would have been gifted in like 1900.

And so it's been going up for a variety of reasons.

One, education, diet, a bunch of different stuff.

But starting in 2010, they noticed a decline.

And this isn't just in America.

It's in Norway.

They noticed this in a bunch of different countries.

I think 80 different countries have actually studied the same thing.

This isn't just an American thing.

But starting since 2010, there's been a decline.

And so now, officially, according to, I think, a sample size of 800,000 test subjects,

Gen Z is the first generation, I think since 1800, that has a lower IQ from the generation before.

Is that insane?

Okay.

So Gen Z is that I think 2010 onwards.

So people who are like 16 years old, I think maybe 10 to 16, something like that.

Is that right?

Sorry, I got that way off.
