michael,

those with high intelligence do not have different goals than those with low intelligence. their mental model of reality more reliably captures the nuanced causal complexity of the real-world, and the strategies they implement in pursuit of their goals will therefore possess greater sophistication, but their medium and long-term objectives are of the same type as the medium and long-term ambitions of the less intelligent. everyone is satisficing a similar set of emotional desires. i won't deny that there is a bidirectional feedback loop between higher-order cognition and those emotions, but there is a limit to the extent to which they can be altered.

naive perspective-shifting is unhelpful and counterproductive; perspective-shifting that adjusts for cognitive ability is very helpful and instructive.

also, im pretty sure 'real g' should accelerate the rate at which implicit knowledge is absorbed but i understand your points. good post.
