I don't think IQ means as much as people think.
But I am a fan of making the human race better, and I don't like when you can't discuss certain research.
In the past, I could believe the sociological reasons to not discuss things like this. It could easily be net negative for society.
But we are getting better at manipulating genes. Soon, we'll be enhancing people. I'd like to know which genes cause intelligence (including autism, aspergers, and other potential drawbacks) so that we can choose to activate them when we have the ability.
Socially distasteful research that could lead to improving all humans should be openly explored with that goal in mind.
