I see a non-zero chance that same brains with simpler environments can sometimes ponder or experiment with some problems more.

Um, the general rule is that simpler environments lead to simpler brains. I don't buy the whole "the current life is making us crazy" argument. Put someone smart in a very simple environment (e.g. an exile to a small village in the boonies) and while there is a non-zero chance he'll write a genius book, I'll bet on him becoming an alcoholic or sinking into the general dumbness.

womens pole dancing

It's not a sport, it's an occupation with the goal of making men stuff money into your underwear X-)

If you want a high-status full-body-development sport, try kite surfing.

That's not true. There are people who do pole dancing as recreational sport.
