They did this with alcohol by binding it to a solid matrix. Was ridiculous. If you're going to store alcohol the most efficient way is as pure alcohol.

So you are suggesting that this is a bad way of storing alcohol, since its not pure?

From previous studies of the genome, Hsu says we can estimates that there are probably about 10,000 of these gene variants associated with intelligence. If we can tweak each of these to their "smart" version, so that they contribute a tiny bit to higher intelligence, we could engineer human beings who "exhibit cognitive ability which is roughly 100 standard deviations above average. This corresponds to more than 1,000 IQ points.

make people with IQ's of 1.000...Then from there who knows..

Make them sterile.

There is literally no advantage. It's more dense, takes up more space, more difficult to manufacture, etc. There is literally no reason to ever use it.

Those are called nootropics. No need for dna engyneering yet.

What do you know about liquid states at 0°c? Probably its a nice approach for cold climas
