Are you saying that as people get smarter they're less likely to think satisfaction in life comes from being someone who makes the world better? That they're more likely to think that satisfaction in life comes from getting more stuff than the next guy?

I think if you engineer for maximum intelligence, yes.

I want to make the world better but it's a bad use of my time from an individual perspective.
