The technology is advancing too fast in genomics. It's like the computer revolution but less of a consumer toy so you don't notice. The only way consumers notice is things like 23andme and testing and maybe medical care.

This technological advancement and the breakneck speed of it means all of the hidden aspects of genetics are becoming revealed. GWAS into IQ and Education attainment can be used to create predictive models to do novel things like estimate a probable adult intelligence of an embryo. Gaps in Intelligence between races will be unavoidable and so the movement to position the academia and intellectuals in a tenable position is happening. Since their current position is to deny it outright and lynch anyone who brings it up.

I guess most people don't understand the context of this so I will explain. If you want to IQ test an adult you would not use this process. You would test the IQ. The use of GWAS is in embryo selection and in genetic engineering. Currently PGD w/ IVF, aka genetic testing of multiple embryos and choosing to implant one or more is going on in America and the world.

The identification of how intelligent an embryo is likely to be therefore is necessary to select an embryo which will compete better in society. This 7% might seem small or negligible. Keep in mind years ago it was 0%.

Assuming you have some way to manufacture embryos perfectly through engineering this 7% could be maximized on every new baby which would give exponentially more high IQ people in a society. This is just the beginning too.

If you are used to computational advancements keep in mind that genetic advancements outpace moore's law.
