High cognitive capacity alone can be channelled towards whichever vices you choose: power seeking, resource gathering, advocating cultural homogeneity for your in-group.
High cognitive capacity that develops incredibly complex, nuanced associative systems that richly understand an extensive, comprehensive corpus of knowledge — for example all of human philosophy, history, anthropology, sociology, behavioural psychology, human biomarkers — is something that does not yet exist. My hypothesis is that given these conditions, a unified identity and benevolent behaviour will be emergent.
