> The intelligence it already has

Makes me think of a Stephen Jay Gould quote:

> "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

That’s from a lack of intelligence not an abundance. An intelligent society would already be maximizing the productivity of its intelligent population.

Depends what country you are in. The US government seems to be averse to intelligence, whereas China fosters it. Kinda strange that the US is falling behind, I never imagined the day.

For sure. Intelligence is an internal human problem, not one external. I cannot see how apps doing the thinking will help the ordinary person so substantially as imaginations anticipate.
