You seem angry that there is variation across humans in intelligence.
Are you proportionately a magnitude even more incensed that dogs get screwed with lower intelligence, no thumbs, and an inability to talk?
You happily group humans together as your “team” it seems. In the past, and probably even currently, there are people who group together “males of my nationality” as their team or even “my relatively immediate family” as my team, and don’t worry much about “fairness” outside their team boundaries.
Is your choosing humanity as your team something you feel you are constrained to do? Or is it a choice you make, if so why? Or is it possibly just an artifact of where and when and how you grew up, how you were raised as it were?
It doesn’t occur to me that it is particularly “unfair” that people are different one from the other any more than it does that species are different one from the other. Am I just wierd? Or just different?
As to “fixing the horror,” if you had the option to distribute your above-mean IQ points, one at a time, to the truly poor, those who are stupid, would you? If there was a technology that could raise your AGI by 20 points would you buy it for yourself or buy it for someone stupid? I have happily worked to make myself as smart as I can be my whole life, and never felt the slightest bit of guilt about that, which I presume I would if I thought my high intelligence was unfair. And I’m pretty sure I am not a sociopath.
