What role does IQ play in society?

Having read The Bell Curve some years ago, I believe that there was significant controversy about the ideas they promoted about race and intelligence.

But, if the only way to measure the stratification of intelligence of a society is socio-economic, then what do you think that speaks of a society?

Otherwise, what's the importance of intelligence in your opinion other than economic?

Me (to my boss): I can't do the task you assigned me. It's beyond my ken. I need help, experts would be great, if possible that is.

My boss (to me): God has given us all, every one of us 100 billion neurons each. I don't see why you need help.

Me (mumbling): WTF?
