The difference between the average person and a mentally retarded person is about 20 IQ points. Anything less than 83 IQ is considered too low for even the military to accept you. So if the average is 105, then the difference between a genius and yourself is roughly 2 mentally retarded people away. Genius is considered 160 roughly speaking. Some men and women have had IQ's higher, but they have a hard time measuring IQ after 160. This isnt a real thought out post, I just can't stop thinking about that fact.
The US military uses IQ testing to determine potential recruits' cognitive abilities. the military forbids anyone with an IQ under 83 from joining. because their experience has shown that anyone with an IQ under 83 will be more of a liability than an asset to the military.
Smart people according to this system should have a bigger gap between you and them than you do to a mentally retarded individual. At least point-wise.
If it is true that high IQ people struggle more in society it may be a lonely feeling at the top in a sense, and they also tend to be hypersensitive to information and share autistic traits. I don't consider myself to have a high IQ, but stupid people do tend to be incredibly isolating. Its very hard to communicate effectively with a legitimately stupid person. And some stupid people are obviously liabilities.

In this video I think Mr. Hyde highlights the insanity of stupid individuals being allowed to roam around in the same environment as genuinely intelligent people, midwits, and above average intelligence individuals. You could be having a conversation with somebody only to realize that the person you are talking to is absurdly slower than you in their processing. Imagine hiring someone only to realize that they are absurdly slow when you lose a day, maybe a week's profits because of an incompetent mistake. Its insanity.
What is even more terrifying to me is that overall IQ scores are going down. If I recall correctly the G-Factors are going down relating to IQ. G-Factors are basically the most signifigant representative of fluid intelligence if I correctly recall. This is likely due to natural selection being essentially removed from humans and allowing for people high in mutational load to reproduce when they otherwise should face harsher selection pressures.
Mutational load is going up in humans, and that literally means the number of genetic mutations in human beings. This is likely due to the industrial revolution because humans now have the ability to subsist off society. 82-84% of the genome goes towards the brain. However, the brain is a black box, and it's infinitely more complex than anything we have yet to study as far as I am aware. The genes that have specific tasks in the brain that become mutated are not getting washed out by natural selection, and therefore we are likely concurrently witnessing the genetic rotting of our species.
The solution to this is obviously:
Genetic Refinement on a massive scale would improve the quality of life for all future human beings. To get there, however, we collectively must admit that objectively good genes and objectively bad ones exist and that some people need to be prevented from reproducing legally or up the social stigma. Otherwise, we will end up in a worse situation than we are in now. The more intelligent and attractive members of the species will become more attractive and intelligent/genetically superior compared to the ever-increasing genetically inferior "caste" of individuals who are only becoming more spiteful by the day. It is most likely possible to get there as well. Most people agree that genetically deformed people and extreme narcissists should not have kids. Therefore the foot is already in the door. If a country decided to eliminate all genetically ill from their population, they could start implementing newer additions to the list of "You can't reproduce". Especially as the scientists start understanding more deeply how genetics work. Imagine if only people who were one standard deviation higher in IQ could reproduce tomorrow. You would have significantly less waste produced, your population would go down, and you have an excess in infrastructure and facilities left over from the "ghost generation". On top of that, the average individual who makes up the bulk of civilization would die out. Start throwing out unattractive traits like acne, recessed jawlines, balding genes, short stature, bad muscle insertions, and start overly expressing longevity/attractive genes. In 300 years your civilization would be exponentially farther than where it would have been. Even if law can't be passed due to corruption, then we should continue to elevate the difference on a social level. A breaking point must be reached in which only the most genetically fit reproduce and the genetically unfit just live out their lives until death in my opinion. Its not meant to be personal, I just think that only the top percent of people should reproduce honestly. If that means some of my good genes aren't passed on that is fine. I think the future of human experience is worth a lot more than my selfish motivations.
The ironic thing is that those types of people who will take the idea "you shouldn't be able to reproduce" offensively can't rationalize why that is offensive without admitting to the fact that it is their limbic system talking, not their rational mind. They want to reproduce because its a primitive drive that is ancient, not typically because they dream of parenthood.

The solution to this is obviously:
Artificial Selection. By doing this we would hypothetically be able to improve the human species magnitudes faster than natural selection. It would be significantly less painful as well. Infinitely less death and suffering would be required to get to an ideal state of civilization. If everyone was walking around with highly conscientious and compassionate personalities, with high intelligence and obviously physically attractive features, everything would improve on a scale that has not been seen before.
