I feel that you’re only paying attention to the “more geniuses and researchers” part and ignoring the parts about market size, better matching, more niches?
Also “focus on it at the exclusion of everything else” is a strawman, I’m not advocating that of course. Certainly increasing intelligence would be good (although we don’t know how to do that yet!) Better education would be great and I am a strong advocate of that. Same for better scientific institutions, etc.
I am not blaming you personally, but the Overton window contains the population growth and not much else.
market size, better matching, more niches
Improving the population (genetically or by education) would have some effect here, too. Not literally more niches or bigger market size overall, but more niches for smart-people-related things, and more market demand for the stuff smart people buy.
