America will eventually become less productive due to the reversal of the Flynn effect (IQ has reversed since the 1970s due to weakening selection pressures).
Assuming current trajectory of the decline in IQ (losing 1 point each generation) IQ will be around 70 or so by 2150.
By this time America will be unable to sustain current production and food aid to the Middle east and Africa will cease.
What will be the result of this?
Will Africa and the Middle East experience a Malthusian collapse?
Will mass immigration of Africa and Middle Easterners to Europe/Asia caused by this Malthusian collapse, lead to widespread civil unrest due to high amounts of conflicting ethnic/cultural values?
Will the cause the end of European culture as Europe becomes increasingly Islamified or will Islam in the West become diluted in its religious application towards liberal values?
What is the future of Europe and Asia given the above?

IQ can be trained. It is also rebalanced every few years, such that our current 100 was about 60 or 70 a few decades ago. Veritasium had a great video about it. Productivity will be kept stable or up because there will be a few technological breakthroughs.
