Whilst I wouldn't use this as support for Brexit as the length of medical training has nothing really to do with the EU, but there is an argument for changing things. As it stands, there are some 10,000 new medical research papers published every day, so by virtue of that it's impossible for any doctor to keep up with things, and indeed it's highly likely that their knowledge will be out of date from the first day they qualify.

So if we can get to a scenario whereby we can utilize technology to tap into this live knowledge base, then it may potentially shorten training times and give us more doctors in the health service.

That's all rather general Bruce.

Why don't you post the link to the full article? https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/12/young-people-getting-dumb-dumber-iq-scores-drop-7623999/

The study was done on Norwegian men joining the Army. As someone against any kind of statistical analysis based on sampling it seems odd you are using such a demographically limited sample as support?

Here's something a bit more complete for you https://ourworldindata.org/intelligence#data-sources

The section on Population Aging is quite interesting - The effect of an aging population, especially in advanced economies, has an attenuating effect on average cognitive abilities over time. Skirbekk et al. writing in Intelligence create projections of future cognitive abilities and find that if the Flynn effect reaches a saturation point, then average cognitive ability declines into the future. However, if the current Flynn effect persists, average intelligence will continue to rise in spite of an aging population.
