The basic problem is that the core activity, human thinking, is not visible or understood.
As a consequence, problems and solutions can't be shared or reproduced or analyzed, refactored or debugged.
Philosophers couldn't even keep paying attention to the question.
There are major persistent blind spots around important cognitive tasks that have bad feedback.
Solutions are highly context-dependent, they depend on variables that aren't controlled by the technology being developed.
This adds to the unscalability of these solutions.
The context contains strong adversarial means, which limits these properties of solutions.
Speed, onboarding time, scope, how many people, mental energy budget, fraction of each person's energy, and robustness, stability over time and context.
Getting rid of lead poisoning should absolutely be a priority.
It won't greatly increase humanity's maximum intelligence level, though.

Something-something blood flow.
Weak source.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation.
I don't know, probably weak source.
This is a counting up from negative up to zero thing.
Might remove inhibitions or trauma responses or add useful noise that breaks anti-helpful states or something.
but it won't raise the cap on insight.
Probably, people sometimes get to have their peak problem solving sometimes anyway.
