We can solve complex economic problems. The problem is not the problems. The problem is the people who make the decisions about how to solve the problems.
and assuming we can create an intelligent mind that has the capability of surpassing our intellect is also a pretty bold statement to stand behind.

The Wall Street douchebags were probably the most capable people on the planet at figuring out how economics actually work, and yet even they clearly don't know what they're doing, or at least how to divorce their ambitions from their common sense. If some guy whose entire life revolves around knowing how the economy works doesn't know what he's doing, then what the **** chance does anyone else have?
