The problem is...no one is smart enough to really know WHAT intelligence is. They can’t accurately measure it much less predict who’s going to get it.
There’s a lot of really really smart people that are really really dumb, if ya know what I mean. If suddenly all the babies born are smart in only the one way, society will suffer.

That’s close to the leftist take on it, and it’s not quite true. IQ is a generally good predictor of academic and economic success. There are always exceptions, but... do you remember the bell curve?

I know what you mean. I agree here.

If there is an intelligence gene(s), it could very be something that results in slightly higher blood flow to the brain.
