Throughout history, the people who delivered truly monumental breakthroughs in mathematics and science were never the highest-IQ individuals of their time. We've all heard the stories of prodigies scoring above 200 on IQ tests, yet they rarely became the iconic figures who shaped our world. In the future, AI will almost certainly achieve intelligence levels far beyond 200, 300, or even 1,000. Even so, AI won't determine the direction of human progress. What ultimately leads humanity forward has never been the raw intelligence of any single individual—whether human or AI agent.
