You're right. But denial is a strong force, and in big parts of the west, values that contract to biology have become socially sacred and impossible to contradict. Whatever communities think like this will cling to blank-slateism even as they lose political power, economic power, and ultimately, their standard of living --- because the alternative is, to many people, literally unthinkable.
It's tragic, especially because the stakes are high and advance permanent and self-reinforcing. How likely do you think it'll be that countries are able to catch to the newly-140-IQ first movers establish a lead?
