I wonder....
Would it be "better" (however you might define that term) if humans segregated themselves by "intelligence"?
Maybe they already do, to some extent, but I'm thinking of people migrating, voluntarily, to asteroids or space colonies that are set up to make people of a particular IQ range "happy".
I do think there are distractions and hobbies and pastimes and careers that people of certain levels of intelligence are more likely to participate in and enjoy, and others they tend to avoid.
At first the idea sounds attractive, especially when I'm aggravated at certain people.
Then I wonder if it would be boring to never be around people substantially dumber or smarter than yourself. Would people seem more irritating without more variety?
Just another reason I am skeptical of Utopia.
