> This is, of course, assuming that we can freely increase intelligence with no repercussions -- are these high IQ individuals at risk of [schizophrenia](http://www.schizophrenia.com/sznews/archives/000607.html http://www.schizophrenia.com/sznews/archives/000607.html), or other mental disease?
You realize that all of the studies cited in that link show that schizophrenia positively correlates with lower IQ, right, and that higher IQ is protective? (Which is correct, as the inverse correlation between IQ & schizophrenia has been documented for a very long time, and is re-documented on the genetic level now that we have schizophrenia PGSes.)
