I get what your saying and used to believe that myself. The schools are only set for the bell curve C average student. They many times hold the high IQ student holding them back from their potential. They also fail the children who can have a high IQ but certain difficulties like dyslexia, visual or hearing issues. Then they fail kids with a bit of lower IQ or even slower. I also think they don’t always get actual reading on kids IQs because could get bored with the test or have attention issues.

Children also have stages of development it can deny them and suppress their abilities or gifts to advance their gifts or interests that are building blocks to higher levels of skill later. Like turning off future Rembrandt off painting. Dumbing them down by pushing conformity and not thinking for themselves. IQ isn’t based on conforming to another especially lower IQs level. A IQ is your ability or potential to learn and not waisting their time negating what it is because the teacher doesn’t understand it or it doesn’t conform with that grade level or subject or turning them off to the subjects. And now environmental toxins and vaccines collectively damaging them.

I knew a professor who had dyslexia who loved baseball but couldn’t play it well because it affected that too or he believed it did and doesn’t everyone until he went to college just to play baseball. He took a IQ test as a adult and found out he wasn’t stupid but had a high IQ. He just had to work harder l with his dyslexia with English classes and even after becoming a psychologist and teacher said he still doesn’t like teachers and doesn’t like meetings with them. He understands why as a psychologist but still doesn’t like the title.  He knows schools can ruin kids lives and cause them to wind up in jail. Now we can add to that ID confusion.

No matter the IQ all God’s children are gifted in their own way.

Nor are the kids being dumbed down. Although the system isn’t coping with their intelligence, they don’t lose IQ. They may seem to have, because academic achievement need bear no relation to intelligence – academic achievement used to be the ability to pass exams (which had some merit, but if they have a good memory a hard working 90IQ can beat a lazy 140IQ) whereas now it is gained by providing an echo chamber to your teacher/lecturer/supervisor’s opinions. Or by paying for your opinions to be published in places like the BMJ.

The article referenced by Hooky is interesting, and reminds me of Dad’s advice when I started learning to drive. “Treat every other driver on the road as an idiot”. It’s not difficult to extend that to people in general. I might have taken him too literally there, as an employer wrote in a reference for me that “… he does not suffer fools gladly.” Please note that Dad was not saying every on the road is an idiot – just that’s the assumption that will keep you alive. Likewise low IQ doesn’t mean they are a fool; a high IQ person who thinks they know everything is one. It’s important to know your limitations! Plenty of advice in Proverbs, including the instruction never to argue with one.

Look up factors that can affect a child IQ or dumb them down. That’s not counting normalizing antisocial behavior, propaganda and chemical injuries like vaccines.

It’s not uncommon for children identified as gifted or with very high IQs to experience a decline in academic performance or struggle with school as they progress through their education. This phenomenon, sometimes referred to as “underachievement” or “regression,” can be attributed to a variety of factors related to the child’s individual needs, the school environment, and the way their intelligence interacts with the educational system.

I used to think that people were pretty smart. Meaning if I were walking down the street, or through a crowded mall, I could be pretty certain that most people I ran into were at a certain level of intelligence.

What do they say? That the average IQ is 100? And when you start getting really low in IQ, the number of people who have that lower IQ gets smaller and fewer in number. It is like the classic bell curve. The middle of the bell curve is the number of people with an IQ of 100; outliers on either side get lower or higher.

That’s what I used to think.

For whatever reason, it felt safer knowing that most people you “saw” were not utter morons. Even if you had interactions with people in stores, or per chance bumping into someone and exchanging words, it was not like you were on some distant planet trying to have a conversation with a humanoid alien (or lizardman) who had zero experience communicating with a real human.

China has launched an initiative that is likely to fundamentally alter the global gold market.

Its insurance regulator issued a regulatory directive requiring certain insurance companies to allocate a fixed minimum portion of their huge assets to physical gold. This is unprecedented.

It doesn’t quite take us all the way back to the gold standard at the turn of the 20th century, but it pushes in that direction.

In short, via regulation, China, the second-largest economy, has now created structural demand for gold that will support rising prices and its de-dollarization strategy.

In February 2025 China began a pilot program that allowed selected insurance companies to invest in physical gold. It was a first-time event. It had never been allowed before. The initiative involves 10 major insurers, including PICC Property & Casualty and China Life Insurance. It allows them to allocate up to 1% of their total assets to gold bullion. …
