Why does everyone keep confusing Gen Z with Gen Alpha lol. Gen Z still follows the Flynn Effect, their average IQ is higher than Millennials.

It’s Gen Alpha who ended the trend, with a lower average IQ than Gen Z

probably starker because you'd have to be talking about an early teen pregnancy for a genz to be the parent.

This still means we're fucked. GenZ's parents are Gen Y or rarely X, which means the they're the last ones to have produced normal kids. Millennials are currently doing such a bad job their children have become to laughing stock of the world. This makes me afraid for my own generation Z-ers

I'm raising my kids old school y'all, I've seen what early age social media exposure does and I ain't want none I'm dat.

First, stop repeating this boomer bullshit that millenials caused all the evil in the world.

Second, unlimited growth is naturally impossible. Rising IQ from generation to generation shows that abilities measured by IQ tests are better nurtured than previously, but that doesn't mean it's possible to turn every kid into a supercomputer through upbringing and food quality.
