Hyperinflation of intelligence won't solve many of the world's problems except to make intellectual labor very very cheap very quickly, or very regulated. We already have countless regulatory barriers as a deliberate foil against intelligence from the lower classes, so..
The future is either a handful of new rent collecting classes perpetually forcing an arms race of intelligence into a race to the bottom, or a caste system determined by byzantine and increasingly arbitrary barriers to entry.

The human race functions through dynamics of intelligence, not raw intelligence. Religion is the best example: literal interpretative framework for the least intelligent, allegorical set of heuristics for the average, with philosophy at higher levels, all in the same symbols

You'll never unbind yourself from stupid people because the only alternative is drowning in intelligence. This will be true for exactly as long as intelligence correlates to capacity for higher labor. Can this gauntlet be navigated to full automation or not? And then what?
