Saying that intelligence, fitness or any other quality does not matter is living in the future, in an alternate universe.

Probably it won't matter in the future, but it matters today.

Probably in the future it won't matter, but if the future is 100 years from now it is not a good strategy to live your alternate reality until then.

Just believing that technology alone will solve all the problems looks naive to me. Imagine for example that a dictator, like Castro could modify their genome with very expensive treatment for living young forever. This does not mean the people he forbids earning more than 20$ a month(everybody in Cuba) will.

Of course, if he does it will be because "he cares so much about his people", or the revolution, not because he wants to, like any other dictator or person in power, they will justify maintaining their power over anyone else.
