No, it's not just you — people really are, per a number of surveys, way less intelligent than they used to be.

I wonder if you could analyze internet discussions for an effect.

    In my personal observations less intelligent people tend to have more children.
    Therefore population IQ drifts towards bottom.

    I suspect that’s because they do not fully understand all their future struggles and fates of their children in the world, fucked up by climate crisis and resource scarcity.
