🗽🧠 America needs to get more out of its high-IQ kids

Sure, attract more skilled immigrants. But let's also better support homegrown smarties

My fellow pro-growth/progress/abundance Up Wingers,

The American economy could, of course, use more machines and better technology. But here’s another important constraint: human talent.

Fixing that carbon-based bottleneck of brainpower bandwidth should be at the forefront of how policymakers think about economic growth. I bring this issue up because of a new study on entrepreneurship and innovation that offers compelling evidence for what economists have long suspected: Lots of high-IQ talent is an essential ingredient for national technological advancement.
