No one has ever given a shit about someone's IQ until after the fact.

Its always "Oh yeah and <insert famous person> is also a mensa member and has an IQ >9000


How about we just keeping doing what we've been doing and what this whole fractal-mess of a universe has been doing and keep on rolling bro.

Also what happens after your marijuana inspired brain-genocide? How many people would that leave? Are you all equal...of course you aren't.


"Burning out the dead brush" would only serve to reset a global min and max for intelligence. Local mins and maxes would quickly present themselves and depending on environmental, political, economic, and social factors.

And arguably having an IQ high above the norm has not been a favorable trait. The really genius shit that comes from those with the mental capacity also tends to come with psychological problems, usually some form of neurosis.

You would then have a world where the strongest, most attractive middle-intellects dominate sexual selection.

Revolutionary secondary sexual characteristics like creativity, empathy, and paternity, and INTELLIGENCE may no longer be as favorable with this new world.

Any "safe the world" idea that involves genocide is completely illogical unless its politically or ideologically driven and planned out for decades.

Also let me know how your army of table-top geniuses fares against the actual army of trained veterans who are combat-experienced and don't fit your magic number of 120.

Just another case of someone having absolutely no idea how natural selection actually works.

Kill everyone with the colored-eye gene and yes, you will get rid of people with colored eyes. The brain is not so simple as that.
