We are on the same page of sorts, there are more then one factor but immigration does account for a lot of it in my opinion.
The reason being the study of the 4 iq drop in France is before pandemic. And immigration was accelerated. While education clearly improves IQ I doubt it can increase very low IQs, especially when we are talking about first generation immigrants.
If immigration would stagnate then we would see an IQ increase do to education, but most likely it would still be lower then before immigration. We must also take in to account that mass immigration creates cultural groups inside a country that may not value education, this would lead to little to no IQ increase in those groups.
This not takin in to account other causes that would also lower the IQ. I have my own concerns with over-protecting children from negative emotions and allowing them to stay online for ridiculous amount of hours.
