The Chinese government ran a huge research effort to try and determine the genes for intelligence. From what I understand it was a failure, as the genetic causes of intelligence are too spread out and varied to be easily isolated.
I'm pretty sure if the project had succeeded that the Chinese government would have had no moral qualms about gene-engineering a population with an IQ of 130+ and the US would be permanently behind in every field forever after.
- adamc 2y agoI think all sorts of assumptions are baked into that statement. Would the CCP even survive if the population IQ was 130+?

- ClumsyPilot 2y ago> Chinese government would have had no moral qualms about gene engineering Anyone cares to shed a tear for IQ 85/90 people that have to navigate increasingly complex world? Look at the amount of legal documents, EULA’s, software, and complex corporate structures that an average Joe has to deal with today vs 50 years ago. How long u till average person can no longer cope?
