Throughout the 20th century, humanity's IQ level steadily increased, but in recent decades something has changed. Research shows that we are facing a “reverse Flynn effect” — average intelligence scores have begun to decline. This is not just a statistic, but a challenge that requires a scientific explanation.
In this episode:
✔️The invisible factor: How plastic microparticles can bypass the body's protective barriers and penetrate directly into brain tissue.
✔️The “dead battery” effect: Imagine that your brain is a powerful computer. When its system is overloaded with internal stress, it goes into energy-saving mode.
✔️Switching off the “control center”: To save energy, the brain can limit the activity of the prefrontal cortex — the very part that is responsible for logic, complex decisions, and our human behavior.
✔️In the grip of instincts: When logic weakens, ancient brain structures responsible for fear, aggression, and impulsive reactions come to the fore.
Science has recorded systemic changes in brain function that are no longer possible to ignore. The question is not only about maintaining productivity, but also about understanding the fundamental processes that determine our future. There is no safe threshold of exposure — the only thing we can control is the speed of these changes.
Is humanity ready to face this challenge and find a solution to protect its main resource — the intellect?
