Lemme see...

Gangs? Well, it is due to socio-economic factors.
Racism? Society, not the fault of children.
War? Children never caused wars.
Poverty? Not the fault of the children, it is the fault of the bourgeoisie.
Low education? Gee, didn't know children caused that... :palm:
Homelessness? Explain why children cause it.

Yeah, most is due to factors beyond our control. Not children. But I'd love to see sources for your claim.

you do not see what I meant
I meant gaining IQ to solve these problems
Not that children caused them

I have every material incentive to do it under the capitalist structure even in the very worst case where I'm just a self-interested bastard.

I am afraid of taking the enormous risk that you could actually plunge the world into a worse place than it is already in. It is a big freaking risk to take, and I wouldn't trust you to use your knowledge in the right way.

It's not that I don't want people to make the world a better place, I just don't think it is worth the risk involved in this scenario.


you have a suspicious mind...

there's every incentive to make the world a better place under the capitalist structure.

In all likelihood nothing. People are dying all over the world, and what does anyone do to help? Nothing.

And, last I checked, neglect is still considered murder.


And what makes you think raising your IQ a couple dozen points would let you solve any of those problems?

The original quote said "hyperintelligent". I think that would do it.

The fact that the child would probably have a family to be haunted by the murder even if you presume yourself enough of a sociopath not to be. Your move, killer.

I could increase my IQ to solve all of those problems with less PTSD by reading a shitload of books and being informed with society whilst devising ways to solve them.

I suggest you get off this forum until you can calm down, for your own good. I am not a moderator, but there are moderators and your behavior in this thread is liable to get you warned or banned. I'm telling people not to respond to you because that just makes it more complicated for the mods.

You're the smartest person? I seriously doubt it. There are a lot of extremely smart people out there. You probably aren't the smartest.

There are plenty of children dying from, say, an incurable disease, all the time. I would just find them, end their suffering, use my newfound intelligence to refine the process so that ape children, monkey children or rat children could be used instead, and then go from there.
