A fair point, but I still expect gene-level interventions to work better and be developed noticeably earlier than any “cures” for low IQ in adults or even kids. Notably, after the low-hanging fruits have been picked (malnutrition, lead, etc.), there are no clear avenues for advancement. At the moment we don’t have a clue as to where even to start looking.
Well there is a lot of research into treatments for dementia, like the neurogenesis drug I mentioned above. I think it’s quite plausible they will stumble upon general cognitive enhancers that improve healthy people.
