They didn't think this one through very well. The segment of the population they killed off was the group that would have given them control of the world. All they accomplished was making it easier for those who care about humanity to regain and keep control.
This 100%. The genius in the book doesn't understand basic evolution.
Intelligence, love it or hate it, is a survival technique. The "elites" don't really need to be smart. They just need to "follow the rules" to keep in power. Natural selection picks based on that in their environment. This is why they get increasingly disconnected and frankly retarded over the generations.
Likewise, the comfortable masses also get dumber since all they have to do is work, be entertained, and not complain. Basic slavery grooming, but that's another topic.
Now they want to insert a fit test in the masses to prune for who is stupid and obedient? They're literally signing their own death warrant when they had a good thing going.
...and they are on track and on schedule....
