NEW 🧵: Is human intelligence starting to decline?

Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s.

What should we make of this?

we know that partisanship now drives economic and social policy perceptions in the US - but this graph is striking. I just told a class that right after Trump's inauguration we'd see a shift in economic evaluations... it only took days after the election! graph frm @nytimes

Perhaps the most shocking thing about the list of Trump's promises is the extent to which it displays ignorance about the Constitution & federalism. That said, Trump did say he would like to terminate the Constitution, so I suppose MAGA folks cld push back w/that.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

I have compiled a list of 93 campaign promises Trump has made ON VIDEO. Many of these are pretty shocking, but nobody chose to make these an issue in the campaign, absurdly choosing instead to focus on Project 2025 from a 3rd party group. https://t.co/E2wumuEq0u

Thanks to @tortoise for having me on The News Meeting podcast - I clearly have a fair bit to learn about pitching a news story! Was great to join @lfrayer @YasmeenSerhan and @GWhittell to discuss different important aspects of the POTUS election https://t.co/z2Hg98SMwH

[Christopher J Carman @cjcarman]

Last week at my @UofGlasgow @StevensonTrust lecture on the US POTUS election I said/joked I was waiting for a news report saying that the Amish in PA were going to be the crucial voting group in the state. #nailedit #LancasterPA #youknowyouarefromLancasterwhen

Interesting that even with all the Trump supporting “whales” who have thrown money into the various “election markets”, Trump has dropped 10 pts in Polymarket in this past week

“A republic, if you can keep it.”

Benjamin Franklin’s response to the question, “Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” on the day the Constitutional Convention delegates signed their draft.

Counties already denying certification of elections across the US. THIS is rather concerning and points to the US election system ending up in uncharted territory. #electiondenialism #USelection2024 https://t.co/xRbYqwmgA0
