This article does invite the question, "How best can a society maximize the potential of their untapped best and brightest?" The first step is identifying them. Obviously an IQ test is a seriously dumb threshold. Untold numbers of high IQers have done nothing with their lives despite having myriad opportunities. (AFAIK, everyone famous only for extraordinary IQ has failed to excel otherwise, like Marilyn vos Savant.) But the second criterion has to be: what is it about _some_ 'geniuses' that makes them disruptors and creators? That quality is surely more important to success than pure brainpower. Is it imagination? Is it independent thought?
