Even saying "it's entirely possible" admits the possibility of the alternative. i.e. that a 300 IQ person could invent a way to improve IQs. That seems especially likely if the 300 IQ person came about as a result of efforts led by 100 IQ people. Seems even more plausible to think about like "Could a really smart thing invent computers that are faster/better?"
- aeternum 6y agoEven without computers, we've selected for intelligence in animals simply through breeding. Suppose there were a group of monks dedicated to achieving high intellect. One could imagine that they form a pact for many generations that only the most intelligent among them will have children. It's hard to imagine that this wouldn't result in intelligence increases.
