Health (comprehending stress, sleep, fitness, disease, etc.), and regimen, combined with a good mindset/ philosophical orientation, and good (perhaps in an unconventional sense) education, are certainly all important and necessary prerequisites for peak intellectual performance. On the other hand "genius" is necessarily defined in relative terms, and is rare, although its specific numerical rarity may vary, even greatly. "Genes and IQ" certainly also present hard limits. The author seemed to be wanting to be P.C. by denying this, but ended up doing the opposite (egregiously) by grouping the two traits together as one! The invocation of the concept of "genius" itself is "problematic" in a similar ironic way.
