If superintelligence gives you superpowers, then why isn't the world trembling at the feet of Mensa nerds? There are rapidly diminishing returns on "excess" intelligence. Life is constrained chiefly by resources. There's a baseline of intelligence needed to function in a modern society, but anything above that isn't necessarily all that advantageous.

Transport young Albert Einstein back in time to the Middle Ages? I don't think that would give you Special Relativity.

I didn't say superintelligence.

Even modest intelligence clearly gives you the ability to develop a superior intelligence, let alone many other wonders and marvels that exist in the realm of sorcery to someone living 100 years ago.

That's quite remarkable.
