the citizens in 1984 would have a lower IQ because of what they're allowed to think. and i see groups, whether they're left, right, whatever, like mirrors, each thinking their group is the 'good guys' and they maintain the party line even if it isn't their own thought. that cognitive dissonance leads to other IQ-lowering factors like medications and violence.
