I have seen tracking studies that report that average IQ is falling in most western nations over decades. I wonder if there is a causal relation to the rise of collectivism over the same time frame. I personally believe it requires some intelligence to grasp individualism.

Mass immigration from the third world has a lot to do with falling Western IQ. The key to the studies is to check whether they normalize IQ tests by race. if they don’t, they are worse than useless.

A) Like 70% of the population falls between 85-115 IQ B) IQ tests are based almost entirely on literacy and math (which is why every East Asian country has a higher average than America, btw) and many PRA's 1st language isn't English. C) I think that stat is probably made up

IQ tests are not a direct test of mental capacity. They are a test of certain cognitive skills, ie: reading comprehension, mathematics, vocabulary, patterns, and so on. They are a measure of skills and level of education, not underlying ability.

There is another characteristic called ‘g’ that stands for general intelligence, which is tougher to measure of course, but the IQ test is still very predictive of life outcomes; what it tests is real and important.

And what is “racist” in this? He’s making a factual claim.. if you can, dissect and debunk his claim. Crying “racism” at every turn is lazy. In this case, he could be RIGHT or WRONG. not RACIST.

Everyone knows the race and IQ stuff is real. The reason people call you racist is because you're a miserable, abrasive asshole. Probably sounds very silly to you, but this topic is *very* delicate. The way to approach the stuff is NOT with an aggressive tone.

Aggressive tone? How have I been aggressive? I’ve thanked people for feedback, never said anything in anger or hate, not sure what you mean.
