First: Uhm...for all the things we use computers for, law and intelligence aren't part of them. Second: Here's the great part...we don't have too! It's simply a commodity, big part of the reason why we continue scientific development, it makes easier lives to further our progress as a species. Now people can actually choose whether or not to be smart. Is that a good thing? Well...yes. At the start the average of a human lifespan was of 35 years. We advanced with 45 years since that, a lot of them in the last centuries. In the life even if you smart you'd live a hard and fuckin' dangerous life. Now it's getting easier and easier for everyone. THAT is progress.
