Everything Everywhere Daily - What is IQ?

For ages, people have tried to categorize people by intelligence. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that attempts were made to provide a quantifiable measure of human intelligence. 


In 1912, a German psychologist by the name of William Stern dubbed a method of scoring intelligence tests called an intelligence quotient. 


Every since there, there has been controversy surrounding the method of scoring and the very idea of scoring intelligence.


Learn more about the intelligence quotient, also known as an IQ score, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Germany?s excess deaths, Eurovision and teacher shortages

Some recent, and surprising, estimates from the World Health Organisation suggested that the UK fared better than Germany in the pandemic. But did they get it right?

At Eurovision this year an algorithm was apparently used to replace whole countries? votes - was it responsible for the UK?s second-place finish?

The global economy has been putting the squeeze on many of us this year. Various factors have caused food, fuel and energy prices to rocket and many households are starting to feel the pinch. We speak to economist Duncan Weldon about whether this year is the worst hit to the cost of living since records began.

An unusually large contingent of children are set to hit English secondary schools just as the number of 21 year olds dips ? so are we heading for a teaching crunch in England?

NBN Book of the Day - Paul Morland, “Tomorrow’s People: The Future of Humanity in Ten Numbers” (Picador, 2022)

The great forces of population change – the balance of births, deaths and migrations – have made the world what it is today. They have determined which countries are superpowers and which languish in relative obscurity, which economies top the international league tables and which are at best also-rans.

The same forces that have shaped our past and present are shaping our future. Illustrating this through ten illuminating indicators, from the fertility rate in Singapore (one) to the median age in Catalonia (forty-three), Paul Morland shows how demography is both a powerful and an under-appreciated lens through which to view the global transformations that are currently underway.

Tomorrow's People: The Future of Humanity in Ten Numbers (Picador, 2022) ranges from the countries of West Africa where the tendency towards large families is combining with falling infant mortality to create the greatest population explosion ever witnessed, to the countries of East Asia and Southern Europe where generations of low birth-rate and rising life expectancy are creating the oldest populations in history. Morland explores the geographical movements of peoples that are already under way – portents for still larger migrations ahead – which are radically changing the cultural, ethnic and religious composition of many societies across the globe, and in their turn creating political reaction that can be observed from Brexit to the rise of Donald Trump. Finally, he looks at the two underlying motors of change – remarkable rises in levels of education and burgeoning food production – which have made all these epochal developments possible.

Tomorrow’s People provides a fascinating, illuminating and thought-provoking tour of an emerging new world. Nobody who wants to understand that world should be without it.

What A Day - Another Deadly Shooting At An American Elementary School

A gunman killed at least 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday. Officials say they expect the death toll to rise with additional victims hospitalized but in critical condition.

Today, President Biden is expected to issue an executive order on federal police reform on the two-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd. The order will direct all federal law enforcement agencies to revise their use-of-force policies, create a national registry of officers who have been fired for misconduct, and more.

And in headlines: the Indiana Legislature overrode their governor’s veto of an anti-trans sports bill, the national birth rate rebounded in 2021, and an Iraqi national was arrested for plotting to assassinate George W. Bush.

The Daily Signal - Why Democrats’ Domestic Terrorism Bill Actually Goes After Political Opponents

Democrats are calling for a crackdown on domestic terrorism, but Republicans say their colleagues want to pass legislation that endangers the privacy of all Americans. 


Democrats' proposed legislation is “nothing more than empowering the federal government to police thought and speech in the United States of America,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, says. 


The House last week passed the bill, dubbed the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, days after a gunman in Buffalo, New York, shot and killed 10. The bill is now before the Senate, which is expected to vote on it Thursday. 


Lora Reis, director of The Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center, says the legislation should be of concern to all Americans. 


“I hope this bill fails this week because Americans, they don't deserve this,” Reis says, adding that the bill “is just a tool to go after political opponents.”  

Reis joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what exactly is in the bill and the effects it would have on Americans if it clears the Senate. 


Also on today's show, we cover these stories:

  • A shooting at an elementary school in Texas leaves 14 children and one teacher dead.
  • An illegal immigrant and suspected terrorist is allowed to wander the country for over two weeks.
  • The insurance company State Farm quickly reverses course on a plan to donate books on transgenderism and gender identity to school children.
