Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: It sounds harsh, but recent data backs this up. For the first time, the 'Flynn Effect' (the historical trend of IQ rising generation over generation) has stalled or reversed. Global assessments like the PISA 2022 dataset show massive declines in math, reading, and fluid intelligence among Gen Z. While 'less intelligent' is a subjective label, their cognitive test scores are objectively lower than Millennials at the same age. 🧠📉
