Maybe intelligence has led to higher stress as we can better recognize what competence looks like and thus what to aim after. So everyone knows what it is better and they all want it, because they know it means the best chances at evolutionary success, regardless of whether the individual is capable of actually reaching that level of competence. In games you can see this competitive struggle and meta forcing and how dare you stray from obviously the best strategy. I believe there are correlates everywhere there is a hierachy of competence.
