I dont thin the top parent actually drew a conclusion. I read it as "These two things are highly correlated. Given that one went down, should we be surprised that the other wnet down?"
Given that there was no concerted effort to move either of them, my answer is "of course not! They are correlated"
- michaelmcmillan 7y agoNot sure if I agree. This is how I parsed it: humans have become less active → our intelligence has suffered as well
- shados 7y agoNot a direct correlation, but its pretty easy to see how it can happen, or at least partially. Eg: Less active = more weight gain = higher likelyhood of GERD and sleep apnea = less sleep = lower attention span and memory. Boom, lower IQ because of lower fitness.
- michaelmcmillan 7y agoI never said I couldn't see how... Just pointing out that we need more data to know cause and effect.
