At the risk misinterpreting what may be an obvious attempt to be sarcastic...

Surely you jest. As the parent noted, such reasoning is squarely on the path to insanity.

What a society could possibly attempt to ensure is "equity". What you are suggesting should be sought is "equality". Since this is (trivially) impossible to attain, to attempt to do so is a fool's errand.

You may be measurably more intelligent than me. Should society force some crippling drug on you, to ensure I am not relatively hindered, merely because you can think more effectively than me?

Some appear to believe so...
