I also disagree with the purification part. There is nothing to purify because I don’t believe that stupidity is genetic. It is educated. And education is the cure. And by that I don’t just mean school! Education doesn’t end when school ends. It is lifelong. It is a constant observation of what goes on around you and learning from the small mistakes to avoid bigger ones. It is much to discuss on this subject
I am not sure about this one… I see it like this: the tribes in the Amazon and the engineers who can build rockets have different types of intelligence. First ones can’t build rockets but can survive and navigate the jungle where the rocket guys will die almost immediately. But a stupid person from both groups will look almost the same because it will ignore basic knowledge and will fail to apply simple logic in a situation that will lead to harm or some other disaster.
If I was some sort of world dictator, I would make taking a test once a year mandatory, and send people back to school, like a prison/institution for the uneducated, medical interventions added as necessary (everyone gets screened, no excepts).

Intelligence has a significant genetic component, it follows that stupidity does too
