This is an interesting thing.

Humanity really only goes forward by a few geniuses. Everyone else should just make food and stuff for those people.

But, this is not the case. Women say they love intelligent men, but put an awkward, aspie 160+ IQ man in front of them, and it is eeewwww. Although, he should have the pick of women, if we actually cared about IQ.

There is two big problems with history. We really have no clue about history (it is probably the year 1224), and humanity is changing, growing up. So, we will not really repeat history, and the changes will be great.

It is like bitcoin. We now have a money that is not in the hands of the elite. And will be made even better when it has anti-elite systems built into it. And then, all of a sudden, all of those incentives for the savages actually align with human growth, and so much stuff just starts working.
