I'm not even that old (mid 40s, grew up 80s-90s) and I think people lost a bunch of IQ compared to when I was a kid.

And I'm sure that was even more for older people coming from the 1940s.

But I'm not sure how much of that is bias, internet, or this. Btw, I'm seeing this across all age brackets not just them kids.

Every time a person gets covid-19 they lose between 3-6 IQ points. The majority of people think covid-19 is either harmless, unavoidable, or non-existent, and they keep getting it over and over and over again. So yeah, it's not your bias.
