Hopefully, implementing Serge Saveliev's idea of cerebral sorting would give a way to detect geniuses in an evidence-based way. Unfortunately, this is still technically impossible (MRI resolution is still too low).
Another issue is that many would like their kids to become one of the geniuses, even if they're fake, as long as this gives them some advantages. Such people would reject the idea of cerebral sorting. Also, according to Saveliev, for ideological reasons neural science in the West hasn't advanced in mapping brain fields and sub-fields (postmortem slicing and photographing) as much as in USSR. That is even if one gets both Saveiliev and an hi-res MRI scanner from the future, the whole idea of sorting would be considered unacceptable for similar reasons.
