The metric isn't just number of individuals above IQ 140. The metric also adds value the higher the IQ above 140 for each such individual genius: * The increasing *value* of increasing IQ beyond the genius threshold (140 > IQ in the below model). This is reflected in the "x*" factor of the definite integral: genius_continuous:integrate(x*population*gaussian, x, genius_IQ, inf); That's probably an underestimate of the value since we're talking about military (unrestricted warfare) dominance: Their highest IQ vs our highest IQ. > and this advantage would drop to 16 without affirmative action.
