    The negative Flynn Effect: A systematic literature review

    Highlights
    •We conducted a systematic literature review of the negative Flynn effect.
    •A negative Flynn effect was reported in 9 studies (comprising 7 countries).
    •Immigration, sex ratio, and dysgenic fertility were discussed as possible causes.
    •Findings on IQ decline are discussed in light of the literature on IQ increase.

    Abstract
    The Flynn Effect (rising performance on intelligence tests in the general population over time) is now an established phenomenon in many developed and less developed countries. Recently, evidence has begun to amass that the Flynn Effect has gone into reverse; the so-called ‘Negative Flynn Effect.’

    In this study, we present a systematic literature review, conducted in order to discover in precisely how many countries this reverse phenomenon has been uncovered. Using strict criteria regarding quality of the sample and the study, we found nine studies reporting negative Flynn Effects in seven countries. We also discuss several possible explanations for the negative Flynn Effect as an attempt to understand its most probable causes.

    THE CONTINENTAL SYSTEM IS BETTER AT RESTRUCTURING

    —“Trump just said it’s fine with him if China stops trading with the U.S. He had better hope China doesn’t take him up on his offer. Retail sales and the stock market would plunge, layoffs would soon follow, and both consumer prices and long-term interest rates would surge.”–@PeterSchiff

    They would only plunge long enough for the capital to reorganize to seize the available opportunities – which are vast – as are the returns. This is why the Continental order is better – they can hold policy over twelve or more years: long enough to reorganize a malinvestment.

    SEDATION OF THE HERD BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER

    —“It’s still better than it’s ever been – we are just upset because we can see leading indicators of decline….”–Gary Knight

    —“Yeah man, it’s pretty awesome that I have an iPhone and burgers cost $1 at McDonalds. Who needs like, borders, or culture and shit…— Ely Harman

    In my understanding, saturation with media has replaced evidence of reality, and so people are unaware of just how bad it’s gotten. We forget that $1burgers, cable entertainment, the internet, video games, porn, pot, are forms of sedation. Not fulfillment but sedation.

    Socialization has fallen apart.
    Civilization follows.

    BTC has market cap equal to a speculative technology company. What will Apple correct to with iphone purchases abate? What happens to all overpriced tech stocks? Because BTC are a share of STOCK in the BTC network. This is the optimum use of BTC technology: eliminating the stock markets and their trading fees: ie; “fractional trade of interest in title.”

    Excuse making and evidence are two different things:

    – The tech is open to monopolization.
    – The tech is easily open to state seizure.
    – The assets are stolen all the time.
    – The tokens aren’t insurable by the insurer of last resort.
    – The tech is fragile.
    – The usability is sh*t and appears unsolvable.
    – The transaction time is waaaay too long for widespread use.
    – The data storage scheme is waaaay to big for widespread use.
    – There is no means for expiration or consolidation of fractional amounts.
    – The entry and exit points require real world conversions to real world currencies (torrents do not).

    What will happen is what I said will happen: states will move to the next monetary system, which is direct access to treasury, tagged money (tracable), using high response time, redundant, central data stores, taxed per transaction rather than requiring organizations to collect taxes.

    AFAIK BTC was developed for the purpose of simplifying the drug and arms trade. That is how it will be prosecuted. Because the state will mandate its own currency as it does now. Every state will do so out of necessity of protecting state financing.

    Furthermore the internet will be balkanized within the next ten to twenty years (if not sooner by china), ending the open borders unregulated wild west of the internet exchange of information – largely because it is in tolerable for authoritarian countries to permit political competition on the western model. It will happen in china first then russia, then it will spread from there.

    ACCELERATION

    —“…republican party …. Trump…”—

    That’s false. Trump *vented* the anger. We (white men) were ready for civil war if Clinton was elected. These boys are evidence of the loss of faith that Trump can make a difference. All they are doing is accelerating into the civil war that Trump DELAYED. Guns to bombs to war..

    THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS BROUGHT TO OUR NATION

    —“The shootings over the weekend are simply society’s response to a collision of civilizations that’s been ushered in via immigration and multiculturalism. It’s really no different than our body’s immune system responding to a foreign body.
    The only way to prevent these shootings is to prevent what’s causing them. While tragic, these events paradoxically bring us closer to the actual solution.”—Aaron John

Trump’s most recent response shows just how incapable our current institutions are at pursuing effective policy; too focused on short term solutions that don’t upset the status quo significantly in order to preserve the democratic power structure (“come together as one”) rather than eliminating the incentives that lead to these events.”—Justin Allred

    MORE FROM TWITTER

    I’ve been right so far that it would reach this point. I said it would escalate into bombs. Then in to fires. Then to power. Revolutions always work by the same means. If organized political protest is possible it will work through that channel. If it isn’t it will work this way.

    Most of you are thinking too small. You’re thinking about crime and guns. You’re not thinking that this is the predictable beginning of a horrible, long, and bloody civil war that hasn’t been seen before. Democratic left’s attempt to seize power by dependents: deterministic ends.
