Even though I am ambivalent about gifted programs, when you consider the difference between an average person and someone who for various reasons is one sigma below average intelligence, and then consider the difference between someone who is two or three sigmas above average and the majority of people near the average, it makes sense to separate them somehow. As a thought experiment, if your IQ were measured at above two standard deviations from the average (~100), it may be worth asking whether meeting someone with an IQ below 110-115 on Tinder could raise ethical questions because of the relative intelligence differences. It's provocative, but when groups of outlier intelligence people can now find each other and co-ordinate online, you're into mutant powers risk, where someone could, for example, create a new world currency they alone controlled the value of out from under central banks, build a total surveillance panopticon in their dorm room, forge a conspiracy that infiltrated the cabinets of world governments and subordinate them to a single agenda, encircle the planet with a million cryptographically sovereign network nodes in space, enslave millions using a credit system, etc. We should have gifted programs to integrate these people socially and elevate the people around them, because otherwise you're just going to get super villains.
