Einstein came to an understanding of things that are not intuitive to most people.
I think the minds that take things to new levels in the future will not be created in the usual way, humans procreating.
Think of the rare occurance of individuals with savant abilities. Understanding how to tap into that potential through drugs and technology,
that is a whole new area of research that needs to be explored. Imagine if you could recall absolutely everything you have ever been exposed to
with extreme clarity, and actually think of 20 topics all at the same time, and mix the reults of all 20 thought experiments into a useful final
answer.
Tapping into the potential of the human mind. We are still in the infant stage of our thinking abilities. The question is whether natural evolution and
education should be used to progress, or should a biological/technological modification be used to go to the next level.
