How much?

To navigate the creation of AGI will likely require solving philosophical problems that are beyond the capabilities of the current population of humans, given the available time, some decades.

6 standard deviations is 1 in 10 to the power of 9, 7 standard deviations is 1 in 10 to the power of 12.

So the goal is to create many people who are 7 SDS above the mean in cognitive capabilities.

That's strong human intelligence amplification.

It is my conviction that this is the only way forward for humanity.

Subheading.

Constraint.

Algernon's Law.

Algernon's Law.

If there's a change to human brains that human evolution could have made, but didn't, then it is net neutral or net negative for inclusive relative genetic fitness.

If intelligence is Ceteris Paribus' fitness advantage, then a change to human brains that increases intelligence must either come with other disadvantages or else be inaccessible to evolution.

Ways around Algernon's law, increasing intelligence anyway.

Here's a list of bullet points.

We could apply a stronger selection pressure than human evolution applied.

The selection pressure that human evolution applied to humans is capped, somehow, by the variation of IGF among all germline cells.

So it can only push down mutational load to some point.

Maybe, recent, perhaps, human evolution selected against intelligence beyond some point.

We could come up with better design ideas for mind hardware.

We could use resources that evolution didn't have.
