Well, I think you'd probably have to start with some vague idea how to use genetic tech to breed smarter humans. The problem is pretty far from an ethical one right now. Nobody has the faintest idea how to do it. (Also: if it were possible to breed generally smarter humans using genetic technology, I have a somewhat hard time believing that there are a lot of dictators who would be like, "Subjects who are way smarter than I am? SIGN ME UP!")
