You've got a character sheet with lots of bins, good/neutral/bad - "protesting abortion clinics" or "being an asshole" or "donating to charity" or "playing an instrument." Intelligence means you get more points to spend, but doesn't determine where you spend them.

Intelligent people are more likely to climb hierarchies of competence and as members of such high ranks, opportunities to do good present themselves which further propel those individuals up in the hierarchy of moral uprightness / virtue signalling.

I don't think intelligence is that fluid For instance, I don't think emotional intelligence, informational intelligence, and body-motion intelligence are fluid at all I'm skeptical of all of this. Maybe there is fluidity in tight adjacent fields, like academic neighbors

I think the MFT(Haidt)-esque approach is sensible. That people have certain bins of strengths/weaknesses/preferences and they are fluid in How they apply within applicability, but not fluid outside that For instance, color/flavor sensate vs vision/rotation, vs. number/hierarchy

IQ correlates with lower criminality, but that’s probably a weak stand-in for “moral behavior,” which is a fuzzy target.

I’ve always heard the smart people end up working for the gregarious c students... Seems much more likely given the current state of affairs

I've wondered how much of higher IQ correlating with prosocial behavior is that you're better able to see win-win solutions vs just being more successful in society and so having more to lose.

Thought experiment: if everyone got 10 IQ points smarter (as judged on today's scale), would crime go down a bunch? Or would the same number of people end up in jail, just with a higher average IQ?

I think your frame is far more accurate. Yes, on average, smart people exhibit "prosocial behavior"... So they try to lead nationalist and communist tribes... The most dangerous person on the planet is "smart", and "prosocial". The productive ones are antisocial ;p
