Earth critters spread vastly in their capabilities to solve hard
problems. The difference between a low-grade moron and a genius not
merely a few ten IQ points. We're rising as a whole since raised and
living in more challenging environments, so genetic component is not
the chief determinant.
Suddenly, it all has to stop, right now, because we reached the
ceiling, defined by virtue of some weird natural law governing
infoprocessing structures? Uh, don't think so.
