> The potential increase in IQ is so high that any country that defects from a global ban, even a smallish one like Iran say, would quickly be producing the vast majority of all genius-level intellects.

I do not know if this is even true. But, I do not see the USA rushing to give good education to its population. The geniuses are already there in crowded classrooms and underfunded schools.

And, a good education pays off even for less gifted people. Their lives are better, they contribute more to the economy and less to crime.

If that race is one, the USA (and Europe also) are already trailing.
