I used to believe that I was no different than the majority, and I beat my head against the communication / information problem for years, thinking that if I could just find the right words, I could begin to have conversations of a higher complexity with almost anyone. In the process I learned to assess the intellect of people I encountered every day. Finally, I was forced to realize that the conversations I wanted were possible with only a tiny percentage of people.

This can be altered. Most takes generations, but some things can be done to alter functional intelligence even after maturity. There are many things impeding the potential of the genetic capacity of almost everyone alive. I am not looking for a justification to division, things like that tear us all down. I think that everyone has a unique contribution if we can find a way to allow them to express it. In order to succeed in this, we need to begin to get past the idea that the subject of individual intelligence is only a road to insult, and begin to understand the reality of the differences, and the things that can be improved.
