Perhaps not with respect to IQ but there’s a chance that future historians might correlate the use of plastics with increased rates of infertility.
Perhaps there is a link between plastics and ADHD [1]. [1] https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8910189/
I mean, if your goal is to get from point A to point B, having a fast car just means you go there faster.
I'm thinking of IQ in a similar way, as in - high IQ = faster car. But at the end of the day, it's still the same, isn't it? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Is IQ really that important? I mean, if your goal is to get from point A to point B, having a fast car just means you go there faster. I'm thinking of IQ in a similar way, as in - high IQ = faster car. But at the end of the day, it's still the same, isn't it? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If we all suddenly went from 100% to 97% brain efficiency we wouldn't even notice. For example a bad night of sleep is surely worth 10 times as much.
I wonder if future historians will see a similar drop after widespread use of plastic

I'm confident that plastic will go the way trees did: Unbothered for a long time until bacteria figured dead wood is just another food and put a stop to trees being fossilized as coal.
Stop plastics, it's a good idea to do so for many reasons, but there's no need to drag gender roles and those stupid good old times into it. I much prefer spending time with my kid instead of slaving away 9-5 six days a week.

Yes it matters. Faster car can run more miles in a day. More IQ can do more work.

If you have IQ 50, it's not just that you do things slower than other people, you can't do many things at all.
Is a 2-3 point IQ drop really that terrible? If we all suddenly went from 100% to 97% brain efficiency we wouldn't even notice. For example a bad night of sleep is surely worth 10 times as much.
