I didn't say we had to choose one or the other, I'm suggesting actually the opposite: the clearly superior way to do it is to first do one (ensure we are maximally leveraging all IQ points born to humans on earth) then do the other (now armed with billions more brains that freed from the daily task of avoiding premature death).
If you have an argument for why the reverse ordering, or in parallel, would be better, that's what I'm asking for: what's the argument?
Flesh it out beyond just "imagine if we succeed with no substantial opportunity loss!"

We kind of can do that today, if we really put our minds to it. The benefit, however, is minuscule compared to what an expansion into quadrillions of highly educated humans could create.
