what an effort post...
>epigenetic information to lead to the physical rearrangement of only the handful neurons necessary to encode a memory or anything like a memory without interfering with the activity of the rest of those neurons
What if it does interfere with the rest of those neurons?
Could it be as simple as an increase in their activity? Aka:
>Toxin resistance is often as simple as selecting the gene that confers toxin resistance and making it produce many more transcripts than it normally would
This but just for intelligence? Some epigenetic marker that is transferred onto the offspring from parents who went into uni and makes a lot of smart transcripts (or whatever's responsible for smarts) produce many more transcripts than it normally would?
upd: seem like you somewhat addressed it in the next post: >>24490456

>what we call intelligence is a supernym which gathers a lot of traits like memory retention, education, recall, ability to make connections, capacity for logical deduction, focus, etc. under one term
Sure, but wouldn't all those get developed simultaneously when some 100 IQ average normie grinds knowledge for a decade in pursuit of higher education, with his epigenetic markers influencing that whole bunch of neurons?

(I have no idea what I am talking about, just trying to connect some dots out of your post)

>writing about this stuff has weirdly improved my mood.
important knowledge that you finally found a way to put into some use
