No.<p>Modern man is a grub in the dark, awaiting illuminant flame.<p>You and yours are ignorant, confused, lazy, apathetic, usually a waste of your humanity.<p>The enlightenment isn&#x27;t that its all so cool and we deserve it so much, it is that our finest hours must be carved out of our resistant, underprepared selves.<p>Behold, the lightning is the ascendency of Man<p>- thus spake Zarathustra<p>I take this to mean we must go beyond ourselves, and it is the illumination of our minds which close this gap.

&gt; we conducted a 2024 study in which groups of 35 randomly selected people were tasked with taking IQ test questions together in real-time as AI-facilitated “conversational swarms.” As published this year, the groups averaged IQ scores of 128 (the 97th percentile).<p>I am not sure this is a strong result. Wouldn’t we expect a group of 35 randomly chosen humans to contain someone at or exceeding the 97th percentile for IQ?
