Have a probably empathic idea: HBD focuses on IQ, but there's little or no discussion of the possibility of tech for raising IQ from 90 or so to 110, even though that would make a large positive difference.

What does [Edit: raising IQ] have to do with HBD?

If IQs can be raised then one aspect of HBD becomes less important.

Depends on how hard it is and whether how far they can be raised depends on their "natural" value.
