平均 IQ 日漸下滑大馬華人何去何從？

不知道大家有沒有發現一個現象，如果拿一些獨中歷年的高級數學課本對比，你會發現高級數學課的難度有不斷下降的趨勢，學生學的内容越來越簡單

當然，這不僅僅只是獨中特有的現象，也不止是大馬的特殊國情，而是全世界都在普遍呈現的趨勢：IQ 下降

然而，大馬華人面臨的整體 IQ下降更為嚴重，這是大環境造成的

首先，大馬華人移民出國的人，雖然也有很多從事非腦力行業的人士，但各類專業人士佔了很大一部份，或者應該這樣說，移民出國的大馬華人之中專業人士佔的比例相對整體比例要來得高：

整體：（非專業）l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l（專業）

減去移民後：（非專業）l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l （專業）

這樣就導致大馬華人整體 IQ 下降趨勢比國家整體趨勢更爲明顯

其次，IQ 較高的一群走了之後，剩下來平均 IQ 較低的大馬華人繼續繁衍，生下來的第二代整體 IQ 基因水平就比先前一代來得更低。這樣反復重演、循環，大馬華人的平均 IQ 就會逐年逐代降低：

第N代：（非專業）l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l （專業）

第 N+1代：（非專業）l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l （專業）

第 N+2代：（非專業）l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l （專業）

第 N+3代：（非專業）l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l （專業）

(以此類推)

這个趨勢造成的一個相當恐怖的結果就是華人和馬來人的平均 IQ 差距在逐年減少。而平均 IQ 差距逐年減少就會導致越來越多華人會進回教，但這還不是最恐怖的。

最恐怖的是，華人在經濟、文化、教育這些腦力領域上的優勢，將會蕩然無存。雖然 PRC 的崛起在很大程度上能減緩大馬華人被同化的速度，但如果大馬華人本身的 IQ 不斷下滑，想要傳承並維持優越的中華文化，將會越發困難
