"Brainpower alone will always succumb to brute power, indifference, mob rule, and the cult of the true believer. Intelligence as a biological factor can be used for any end, good or ill. It is the social use of intelligence that matters. This is not a natural thing but the result of will and effort. With humans, culture always remains supreme. It is culture that saves us and culture that damns us, because our values dictate how we will use intelligence. It has always been this way and will always be this way. We are damned to figure it out." J. Ackerman
That's an eloquent commentary that touches on the crux of the controversy surrounding this research.
