Mibad, I probably should have addressed Sebastian Jensen's argument and not yours. I addressed you in haste.
That being said much the same argument would apply.
When discussing 'intelligence' per say most people are speaking conceptually about a relative amount of response, memory etc. to testing. This however doesn't preclude why intelligence is functionally intelligent.
Intelligence testing seems to primarily select for one thing, career success/survivability, not 'simply being a good test taker.'
It's not the same thing as say, mentally stable, flourishing, kindness etc. it's simply testing ability to navigate through environment.
Likewise, a much higher than normal proportion, potentially and probably all of highly intelligent people make a tradeoff for this 'ability to navigate', which we often note carries a propensity toward either mental illness, adhd, autism, schizophrenia, and various personality disorders, like psychopathy.
Intelligence, however, is simply a description of what observable biology is doing. And primarily this means your overall health, but most importantly your neurological system. The association has a lot of back-and-forth interplay, but mostly you're simply looking at the performance of the 'brain bud' in your skull.
When you do this, you can make very simple observations, the brain is hyper complex, meaning you can't simply pull one section out like say your cerebellum to make a change. To illustrate this as best I can without writing a library of books, your cortical performs some of the more ancient brain functions. So even if you remove your primary cerebellum for instance you can still breathe, move around, and really almost live a full life but with a great many medical issues.
Point being, that when you select for intelligence, say in a lab for instance, you're not just selecting for most human flourishing and happiness. You're inherently selecting for dysfunction also. When you skew toward intelligence, you're also skewing toward disability as well as loss of self-preservation (psychopathy).
If you again say select out for the weaker versions of highly intelligent people, you're heavily skewing in favor of people with an increasingly lower sense of self-preservation, by eliminating those with autism, adhd, etc.
It's the trade off.
Similarly, you're going to be immersing in an unknown factor. Primarily, will the balance of biological traits we currently have , even more specifically the difference in male to female brains, create non-functional at population scale catastrophe.
which again, it almost certainly will, because you are heavily skewing toward psychopathy.

I hope I was clearer this time.
