Please. Read. The lecture. Comment on what he says in hindsight.many years after the video

He NEVER says we are getting "smarter" in that lecture. Search for "smart" - it isn't there except as a title in another Author's work - and even then it is about how this effect is vanishing. Flynn points out it has even reversed in some places..

I know it is long-ish and requires focus, but I see no point in discussion of a popular video that has been superseded by another more recent and reflective lecture which points out the fallacies people such as yourself have generalized from a single type of intelligence testing-competency.
