There are a number of things we can do to increase society's collective IQ, without resorting to selective breeding.

1) Prevent brain damage: Ensure that all children receive adequate nutrition, and eliminate exposure to toxins such as lead.

2) Make sure every child is educated up to his or her full potential.

3) Provide access to contraceptives, so that children are born only to people who feel themselves ready to be parents.
