Draining brains out

Technology. Nature does not care what you do with it.

Now what definition of the word "abide" are you using?

"To endure or bear patiently," as in the book Earth Abides by George R. Stewart. You said that that technology cannot be useful "unless you advocate [particular avenue x]." Nature does not care what you do with technology.

And technology has what to do with the national IQ?

The findings of science are fruits, employable technologies. The finding that IQ is the single most powerful explanatory variable in the world today in terms of differences between nations in per capita GDP constitutes a technology. You said that that technology cannot be useful "unless you advocate [particular avenue x]." But nature abides.

There has been a constant influx of poverty since the inception of this nation, yet the economy has always improved.

There has been a historic influx of settlers and immigrants with high IQs. This is called brain drain. (Apparently because of its liberal political atmosphere and liberal economics) the U.S. drained brains from other nations. Currently, and notoriously, Russia is having its brains drained out.
