Scientists have identified a reversal of the long-standing Flynn effect—the roughly 200-year trend of rising average intelligence (measured via IQ and cognitive tests) across generations.

For the first time in modern recorded history, Generation Z (born roughly 1997–2012) shows lower performance than previous generations in key cognitive domains, including attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, problem-solving, and general IQ—despite spending more years in formal education than ever before.

Neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on January 15, 2026, highlighting this shift. In his written testimony, he stated that cognitive development in children across much of the developed world has stalled or reversed over the past two decades, with declines evident in international assessments (e.g., PISA, TIMSS) and other large-scale data starting around the mid-2000s and accelerating post-2010.

Horvath attributes the primary driver not to reduced schooling, but to the widespread integration of digital screens and educational technology (EdTech) in classrooms. He argues that human brains evolved for deep, focused learning through face-to-face interaction and sustained attention, not fragmented skimming or constant task-switching encouraged by devices.

Key points from his testimony include:

- Teens now spend over half their waking hours on screens, with significant portions in school involving computers or tablets—often leading to off-task behavior and shallower processing.

- Evidence from meta-analyses and national/international studies shows a consistent pattern: higher classroom screen exposure correlates with weaker outcomes in reading, math, science, and higher-order reasoning.

- Digital tools may aid narrow, repetitive skill practice in controlled settings, but in core academic contexts, they tend to reduce depth of understanding, retention, and critical thinking.

Horvath describes this as a "structural mismatch" between human cognition and how digital platforms are designed (to capture and fragment attention), warning that unchecked EdTech adoption risks long-term harm to workforce skills, innovation, and societal reasoning.

I saw a Tik Tok video of a woman cleaning her home that said "taking care of what God has already given me, so he knows I appreciate and care for what's to come. No matter where life takes you, you have to learn to take care of what he's given you otherwise, he can't give you more".

This is your reminder🫶🏽

Everyone needs to hear this:

We don't talk nearly enough about "papercuts" in a relationship. Everytime there's raised voices, lack of support, short temper, lack of affection, etc. A tiny wound is created. Not enough to make you leave, but enough to make part of U pull away & lose a little love everytime!

[Catwil @Catwil]

Lovely while it lasted.

THE NEW COUPLES OF THE 5th DIMENSION

"The future is not desired, it is deserved."

A man who has profoundly transformed deserves to walk alongside a woman who has reinvented herself.

A woman who has healed herself deserves to evolve alongside a man who prioritized the evolution of her soul.

A man who recognized his worth deserves to live life with a woman who let go of her pain.

A woman who rise from her ashes deserves to have the presence of a man who transcended his miseries.

A woman who has grown to her full powers deserves to be seen by a man who stands in his integrity and power.

A man who is no longer afraid of people's opinions deserves to share his time with a woman who is no longer afraid of what people will think and say about her life.

A woman who is no longer content with anything less deserves to find the most beautiful jewel in the dedicated love of an excellent man.

A courageous and sincere man deserves to be recognized and admired by a courageous woman with a wild soul.

A free and empowered woman deserves to be supported by a good, conscious and complete man.

A man who makes his life a challenging adventure deserves to be loved by a woman who follows her dreams.

A woman who aspires for the best deserves to be loved by a man who feels like a winner.

A man who lives in the present and takes care of his mind deserves to be hugged by a woman who meditates, sings and dances.

A woman who lives connected to her divinity deserves to be cared for and respected by a man who knows the great secrets of solitude and the sacred rights of his freedom.
