At the specific point (57 mins) of shifting everyone’s IQ up by half a standard deviation, I don’t agree that would solve all issues. I would predict you would simply get new problems: people at the top higher end of the shifted distribution would have an impact on society or shape it in such a way that new social dynamics would create new challenges, of which those at the lower end of this distribution would still theoretically have an issue as the baseline requirement for intelligence would rise proportionally. Nonetheless, it’s an interesting discussion. I appreciate the focus here is on intelligence, but I like Lex’s perspective on the need to increase kindness, understanding etc.
