Maybe there will be a magic pill that makes everybody much more intelligent. We are only using a few percent of our brain after all. Until then I assume that the evidence presented by mainstream psychology is correct which says that between 50% and 80% of IQ is inherited.

It need not be a pill. It might be genetic manipulation of an already living organism. As of today, the tools like CRISPR aren't very nimble, but who knows what tools will be used in 2040 or 2050 for that purpose. The difference between them and today's CRISPR might be the same as difference between Intel 8080 and Intel Pentium.
