At its core IQ is the ability to solve a problem, how fast and efficiently you do it based on your knowledge base. If some moron burns all the knowledge and thatâs your excuse to low IQ by definition you couldnât even stop that from happening hence your argument collapses the act of distorting information in itself is low IQ following that overall humanity have vastly low IQâs

Yes, we all know what IQ is. This cannot improve in a species if it isn't a desirable trait, simple as.
Knowledge burnings, and subsequent culture, makes an environment that incentivizes more brutish behaviour. This passes on with mate selection, determined heavily by the environment/culture, and the species IQ improvement slows. Higher IQ hasn't been a very desirable trait for most of history.
Everything can be boiled down to cause and effect since nothing is exempt from this logic. Denying how and why a species evolved, a form of history, is like arguing cause and effect isn't real.
You are now making baseless statements and opening new worm holes I will conclude we agree on my first claims. As to if IQ is desirable to the opposite sex we can discuss that, if you are a math nerd and thatâs all you know but you canât get girls that doesnât mean you have a higher IQ than an individual who has no math skill but can make girls laugh enough to make them sleep with him. The notion that IQ is only related to hard core logic is a low IQ thing to say, and no everything doesnât boil solely to cause and effect Nicola Tesla proved that pretty well with impulse electricity.
