Yes, I think one of the interesting things that the pandemic lockdowns established is that modern post-industrial farce economies run more or less exclusively on banking voodoo. The vast majority of work today does not seem to be productive work at all. Even if we look at useful labour only, its efficacy will still be impacted by all sorts of government-controlled conditions such as access to raw materials, jobs, infrastructure, capital, the legal situation, etc. In fact, because of centralisation and managerialism, I think it would probably be harder for high IQ people to make a positive economic and social difference in their societies today than it would have been two centuries ago.
