“Overview of strong human intelligence amplification methods” by TsviBT

LessWrong (Curated & Popular)

How can we make many humans who are very good at solving difficult problems?
Summary (table of made-up numbers)
I made up the made-up numbers in this table of made-up numbers; therefore, the numbers in this table of made-up numbers are made-up numbers.
Call to action
If you have a shitload of money, there are some projects you can give money to that would make supergenius humans on demand happen faster. If you have a fuckton of money, there are projects whose creation you could fund that would greatly accelerate this technology.
If you're young and smart, or are already an expert in either stem cell / reproductive biology, biotech, or anything related to brain-computer interfaces, there are some projects you could work on.
If neither, think hard, maybe I missed something.
