Some of the assumptions in this article are very ambiguous and makes the reading quite disturbing. I don't grasp the author's notions of IQ. Maybe it's me misunderstanding the writing, but IQ is more of a normative scale than an infinite scale. You don't push your IQ to 1000. It's not an anime energy level. This makes no sense.

Then there are things like "Right now we've got assortative mating going on at a scale relatively unprecedented in history" (assumption or data-based fact?)...

With only 7 billion people on the planet the theoretical IQ maximum is around 190. You can calculate this value from the CDF (cumulative distribution function) of a normal probability distribution having a mean of 100 and std of 15 (the definition of the IQ graph). Unfortunately the integral of normal pdf is the error function which is difficult to solve with high precision.
