I agree, not everybody will or can do it. I actually enjoy science, but I found out that I'm not enough good to do something meaningfull.

He means not important for the political and economical system, not literary useless.

One line that stuck out for me: "To the best of our scientific knowledge, human life has no meaning."

Maybe the meaning of life should be to improve our scientific knowledge. By understanding more deeply the nature, the universe that we live in and how the brain works, we could answer better this question.

Maybe just for the woman
It explains why being anxious or having low self-esteem is unattractive.

Is not the problem misdiagnoses? There are a lot of conditions that mimic ADHD, I think the problem is that a lot of diagnosis are not thorough enough.

In the ted talk, he doesn't explain why this is not just a correlation. Maybe there is something else that makes you happy and makes one better at having relationships. For exemple, someone who has anxiety disorder will not be good with relationships and most probably will be unhappy. But the root cause of unhappines is anxiety.

I think what you are missing is the fact that this time the changes will take place much faster. With farming, the changes were slower and generational.(The children of farmers didn't do farming). And still these changes had colossal impact on societies(and a lot of blood was spilled).
And Terrence Tao who is quated was also extremely good at olympiads. As I see it, the olympiads are a good cost-effective way of identifying talented kids, they are in a way just IQ tests.
I think what you call it is more complex. As I can see there are three important capacitities: attention to details, working memory and iq (capacity to see patterns, what is tested in iq tests). In my experience they are all important, I'm pretty bad at the first two, and this makes me miserable in my job.
What if one's slow is someone else's fast ?
Maybe another important aspect is how the growth is shared ?

One more thing is emotional health, it's already pretty known that exercise helps with anxiety and depression. But I disagree about your assertion about intelligence, I think it plays a huge role in academic success.

Take care with your ideology(for you it's seems it's a religion), that's all I can say to you.

Why it is necessary evil ? You don't live alone in this world and I bet you profited enormously from the country, community that you live in.

Did you at least read the article ? He writes about replacing the current welfare system with UBI.

About the taxes, I think you are wrong because you think in black and white. It's not binary, it's a spectrum and you want to have a balance, in USA the current system is very favorable to the rich.

At the same time some people are just more neurotic(and genetics has a big role), it's not so simple
