The truth is that the only reason we can type stuff in this forum is because of a very small, pitifully small percentage of high IQ people. The same with every other modern breakthrough: Math, Electricity, Alphabet, Medicine etc.
The intelligence needed to come up with new technology and have the guts to withstand social pressure to 'not rock the boat' is much, much higher than the average intelligence.
I would wager that only people of 130+ IQ are truly able to contribute technological innovation.
I would think it takes at least 115+ IQ to maintain such technological innovation.
It takes at least 100+ IQ to not reject such technology as useless nonsense
It takes at least 90+ IQ to not reject technology as some sort of evil magic (even if you don't explicitly call it magic)
The truth is, most of humanity are beasts. Animals pure and simple, who have been misled to believe that their ability for speak separate them from animals. Modern research into animal life reveals that emotion, learning, memory, all these are found in most animal species and are NOT human exclusively. Self recognition is not even human exclusive, common to also chimps and dolphins at least. Emotion, what most people think IS humanity, is a very primitive animalistic attribute.
What sets humans apart from beasts is one thing and one thing only: High Intelligence.
