What do you mean trying to do it without? We have been living without chips in our brain for as long as we have existed.

What I mean is trying to do without training their brains.

I know I'm far below the potential I had when I was 10 in terms of raw intelligence, and I believe many people could've been a few thousand times smarter if we had only tried making them smart.

Going to chips when we haven't even learned to train our brains looks ridiculous to me.
