Somewhat yes. But that doesn’t mean that selecting for only high IQ is a good idea.

We still need people to do tasks like drive a bus. Also, high IQ persons are more likely to be insane.

I didn’t say we should select for only high IQ. More like, let’s not pay those lacking initiative (other than having extra babies) to have extra babies.
