### I am not getting the relevance of the question to the thread.

In the thread I am suggesting that gene mods can and should contribute
to increasing GDP, and among others I give IQ-boost as an example of a

You ask whether economists think that making people stupider increases GDP.

What's the connection? Do you seriously think that there are many
economists holding that position?
