If you've ever spent any time in academia, around a lot of people working in research at universities, you'd known that most problems won't go away. At all the schools I went to and worked at... I have known plenty of professors who were bigots. That's not going away. In fact, a lot of smart people love to lord their intelligence over other people. Even if everyone's smart, those tiny differences where 1 person is even in the slightest a bit less smart will result in ridicule. In my earlier years in academia I'll admit I was high on the culture and bought into the hoity-toitiness, but the longer I went in, the more I brought myself back to earth, but holy shit, the people around me loved to think themselves better than everyone else. A lot of academic and researchers also think they know more about things in industries where they do research than the people who actually work there. Also, as someone who has been to nerdy events like San Diego Comic Con and such... Just cause people are smart or nerdy doesn't mean they're clean. A lot of nerdy tournaments have to enforce hygiene standards due to how bad BO can get. I've had some of my highest performing students smell AWFUL. Studying and achieving in school consumed so much of their lives, they didn't bathe or wash their clothes. I had one student who had never gotten anything less than an A whose clothing always smelled stale and her teeth were rotting. Besides, how many Doctors has Simon talked about on Casual Criminalist who were known for smelling foul? The idea that mental illness is more understood by smarter people is both true and false. What Simon says about it being more prevalent and talked about is true. Lots of people in my academic circles has issues and talked about it.... But there was still a Walk It Off mentality under the guise of caring and the higher ups saying you should take some time off.... Buuuut.... Then they'd throw more tight deadlines on you that HAD to be achieved if you wanted to finish your degree or in the case of junior faculty.... keep your job. I also highly doubt crime would decrease that much.... SES still plays a part, but violent crime will still be there. There's PLENTY of insane academics. You still have high rates of stalking and murder with professors. The guy that murdered the 5 students last year is a good example. He was a Ph.D. student doing something in law, and I believe he was fairly high performing in the program? (I could be wrong there) There's also cases of one female professor trying to murder another female professor because one was in love with the other, and the other was married and barely knew the stalker existed. If everyone is smart.... Little will actually change. Or at least the problems will just change. But nothing will be entirely fixed.

[@anonymousrex5207]

Everything I see from social media these days tells me that there are tons of people out there who THINK they are smart, but in reality they are pretty dumb. People need to remember that no matter how smart you may be (or how much evidence you have to show you are smart), no matter how much of an expert you may be in a particular field of study, you always have to have the mindset that you don't know it all and there is always someone out there who may be smarter or at least more educated in a particular topic than you are. There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance, which unfortunately gets crossed all too often.

[@SassyGirl822006]

There is also a strong correlation between high IQ and ADHD, as many with ADHD have fairly high IQ's. But this may be part of the 'jack of all trades' effect that ADHD can bring. The ability to absorb and apply information quickly on topics of interest, can lead to those with ADHD being very capable in several fields, but not really mastering any one skill.

Most of my family is very intelligent...at least one side of it is. However, that side also has a lot of addictive personality traits, meaning there has been a lot of drug use, some pretty hardcore religious nutjobbery (due to never feeling satisfied and looking for something to give their life meaning), and a general lack of follow through. In fact, smart people are often the ones who are hardest to get to change their beliefs because they are very good at coming up with very smart seeming justifications for their beliefs.

I find it interesting, as someone with an iq north of 150, and having excelled at every course I've ever taken with the least effort, how people like myself are often treated as having poor social skills, but it's the less academically gifted students who always have the hostile attitudes towards those of us that learning comes as easily as breathing to, and no matter how little we judge or even care about academic ability, and how friendly and gregarious we try to be, regardless of our ostracism and poor treatment, we're told we have poor social skills. At several jobs I've acted fairly stupid and have been well liked up to the point where I tire of the charade, or move on to different employment. At jobs where I don't hide it, people I work with and for always end up constantly trying to find something to demean or belittle me over, and/or constantly come up with ways they are my superior at *something* no matter how banal. I've even noticed that the worst of people, who might think of themselves as the hotshot around the office or what have you, will intentionally sabotage, lie against, be unwilling to train, etc. to try and derail someone they find intellectually intimidating.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley had this as a topic for one of the experimental islands.

[@Dr.Fluffles]

@@Loralanthalas It's a dramatic oversimplification, especially because genetics isn't the only determiner of interests, leadership or any other skill, but egos and social expectations around the value of particular roles in society would definitely create conflict if everyone was equally capable and positioned for every role, and compensated on a fixed rate. This was just a small blurb in a much larger story of a dystopian engineered society with enforced roles and indoctrination around roles since birth.

We have already experienced the "of everybody to smarter" event. Think of how educated a normal person was in the 16th century, compare their average to our (first world) average. The difference is staggering. No matter how much we doubt ourselves and call ourselves as 'stupid' we have to remember that in all of the history of humankind, the current generations are the most intellectual and on average educated, ever. So my answer to the question "What if We Were All Smart" is that we would advance a lot further socially and technologically, we would still consider ourselves 'stupid' and 'dumb', suffering more advanced but fundamentally same problems. The average highschooler today has seen more sides of the world and has more tidbits of information than all the self-procliamed sages and wise men of the past. The Internet is such a profound development that it should be considered the equivalent of the discovery of fire in our age, with it, one 5-minute research informs a person more than years of dedicated research did for people in the past. The world is getting exponentially smarter and wiser each and every day people search up information, but because we are humans and deeply flawed, our ability to use this Holy Grail of a thing is imperfect and often leading to conflict as well.

[@InquisMalleus]

Another great way to boost IQs? Actually fully study and develop education - right now, studies on how to best educate people are minimal, and the results are unclear at best. There are only a few good research programs on how best to teach kids, and these are all within the last few decades. Basically, in the last 100 or so years of free, mandatory schooling for children, we have spent almost the entire time repeating the same mistakes or making new - and horrible - mistakes. Also, look at the school system in the USA and study it. Then do the opposite. Pay teachers well. Minimize standardized testing. Reduce homework. Increase recess times for younger children. Feed them healthy lunches. All things the USA generally opposes, and then wonders why things are getting worse.

[@burieddreamer]

OK, hear me out: the only way for a more intelligent society is an investment in education. Education is often overlooked because being a teacher is not profitable, so many teachers are unskilled or all out unprepared. So, to invest in education, teachers have to earn well. This would raise the bar on the quality of teaching. But for teachers to earn well we can't depend on our current system, nor on benefits. We need to actually charge the people who were educated by them in a pseudo-meritocratic system. Every man and woman should have a selection of teachers that they think were pivotal in their education. And every time they earn money, these teachers should receive a small percentage of that. Like some sort of.. schooling royalties. The larger the number of pupils a teacher teaches and leaves a lasting memory, the better they earn and the more competitive they become, making this a more desired profession and teachers more dedicated to catering to their skillset.
