Also, ElM, apart from the real issues which you describe, such as how to use the industrial revolution and now the cyber revolution to best effect, one has to keep in mind the peacock's tail.

He didn't get that to escape from a cat or to help him fly.

He got that because the girls liked it.

Human girls like guys on the shaper end of the spectrum.

That is a very powerful driving force. They like it because it gets them the goodies they want and the babies they want.

Therefore, humans have brains as big as a peacock's tail.

The theory that the dull are outbreeding the smart is false. The theorists omit those who don't get to breed. Or, they simply made up data. Where's the data?

The fact is, as shown in the Flynn Effect, that the smart are increasing, just as the peacock's tail did.

But the human brain is not just for show to the girls, it really does help do well in the absurdly complex and impossibly challenging world in which we all flounder.
