      1/2 IQ is measured but it's uncontroversial it's the source, not the outcome. If you can't build a society in which people with low IQ and high IQ do similarly well you have to figure out how to increase IQ and obfuscating the direction of that effect, as this does, won't help.

      2/2 I understand the motivation behind this kind of reasoning about IQ. However, cognitive enhancement is our best hope to get us to a place with better outcomes both in terms of human flourishing and justice. Muddying the issue of IQ is going to make that much more difficult.

      I agree that educational enrichment for all students will help, but that requires better resources. My point is that we need to target a whole nexus of societal outcomes at once, not just cognitive enhancement.

      Why do you assume 'educational enrichment' is the the most effective form of cognitive enhancement? If we had invested 1/100th as much in good nootropic development as in misguided educational reforms, we'd already have effective cognitive enhancements.

          I am very intrigued about nootropics, and would like to see more research on its effects on learning. By the way, I am on the scientific advisory board of @theneurohacker.
