		<description>@Mark Plus
Considering that IQ measures intelligence (and shadily at that), increasing IQ would probably help everyone discern between which politician can provide them with the most increase on their tax return, not so much if this politician has to screw up the lives of a bunch of other people. Social utopia is based on the ethical decisions of humans which admittedly have a lot to do with capacity for ration and logic but emotions do ultimately come into the equation. How are we going to behave if we don&#039;t all agree on the same thing (i.e. I think welfare&#039;s lovely, it&#039;s currently providing my parents with the means to give me a great education and isn&#039;t that what you supremely want in a human?); do we devise nukes until the superior nuke-creator eventually wins or do we hash it out rationally? And maybe the rational thing is to ensure your power and will&#039;s enforcement. If this Utopia-catalyst pill could enhance the ethical, emotional, etc. portions of our brains, however, I&#039;m all with you.</description>

		<description>We do need something like a safe, effective means to give everyone an extra dozen IQ points. That could revolutionize our society for the better, not because it would make the smartest people a little smarter, but because it would make the hordes of dumbasses on our planet substantially smarter, perhaps pushing them above a critical threshold so that they started to make better choices in life, like getting an education, having responsible sexual relationships, obeying the law and saving money for the future, instead of slacking off, making bastard kids, committing crimes and going on welfare. I&#039;d like to see the movie which shows this kind of scenario for society, and shows it as generally a good thing.</description>

		<description>@Mark, I agree! But, rarely is it because the person is already among the wealthy and powerful. I was thinking more along the lines of Cooper becoming some sort of internal demolisher of the corporate-political complex. I was thinking Enemy of the State meets Wall Street.

@Willy: yeah, another piece of evidence this film will be a let down. Sigh.</description>

		<description>These viral trailers look like they were written and directed by twelve year olds. You&#039;d think a movie with such a high budget could at least create more convincing pharma ads.</description>

		<description>Have you never seen a movie about a protagonist that has to deal with awful people that are wealthy and powerful? That&#039;s pretty much the plot to every movie.</description>
