Triple Digit IQ?
By Rod Van Mechelen
2026 Olympia, WA -- How would your perspectives and priorities change if your IQ jumped to 1,000?
Limitless is one of my favorite movies because as the main character's IQ increases, his perspectives and priorities expand.
Brad Cooper tried to continue the thread by creating a crime solver series, but we already had that with Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller in Elementary.
What I would have enjoyed is a series in which the story arc from the movie continued and included the spread by whatever means of the increase in intelligence among thousands then millions then billions of humans.
If one or a few humans have access to the means, they're going to get frustrated with all the people who can't keep up. That's already a problem for anyone with an IQ over 120. The more intelligent you are, the more you crave the company of intelligent people.
Curse of the High IQ
During my 39 months at Microsoft, what I liked most about it was that for the first time I was in the company of a lot of people who were much more intelligent, and it was exhilarating.
During my almost 242 months working for Washington State, what I disliked most was that I was in the company of people who's occupation was to impose limits by enforcing rules.
When our idiot former governor, Jay Inslee, issued his get jabbed or get fired mandate, requiring everyone to get the covid bioweapon shots, that was one rule too far and I retired.
What would our lives, our world be like if millions of humans had IQs in the triple digits? What if even mid-wits like Gov. Jay Inslee could figure out that covid was nothing but a bad flu?
What if governments around the world were forced by the rapid rise of intelligence among the human population to change from imposing limits to reducing them?
From getting in our way, to getting out of our way? From holding us back, to letting us race ahead?
